What changes for carers working in Thessaloniki
The climate sets the hours
Winter up here is a real winter, colder than the south and the islands. Serres, Drama and Katerini sit on plains under the mountains, with frost at night and occasional snow, while Thessaloniki takes the Vardaris, the dry cold wind that funnels down the Axios valley, then turns hot and humid beside the Thermaic Gulf in summer. That splits the year into two working patterns: in July and August walks run before nine in the morning and again after sunset, with water in the bag and a palm pressed to the asphalt before you set off, and from December to February you go out more often for shorter stretches and dry the paws and belly the moment you are back inside.
When demand rises
August is the peak, the month Greek cities empty out, followed by Christmas and New Year and by Orthodox Easter, when families head back to their home villages and start looking for someone to take the dog or the cat a few days beforehand. Halkidiki, the Pieria coast and Thasos are all close to this cluster, so summer work is not only long trips: much of it is two and three day breaks around public holidays, which makes Friday to Sunday between June and September the slots worth keeping open.
Getting around
Thessaloniki is dense and linear, squeezed between the gulf and the ring road, so the apartment blocks stack along a few big axes, parking is the daily problem, and the long seafront doubles as a walking route: keep your jobs on the metro line and the main bus corridors and you can work the city without a car. The other cities have centres you can cross on foot, each with its own quirk: Kavala rises in tiers up the slope above its harbour, and those steps and gradients add up across several visits in a row, Xanthi keeps its old town on the Rhodope hillside and the newer part on the flat, Alexandroupoli is flat with straight streets running down to the water, and Serres, Drama and Katerini spread across the plains, where a car mainly matters for the suburbs and the surrounding villages.
What does a Petme sitter earn in Evosmos, Thessaloniki?
Boarding in Thessaloniki typically runs €15-€30 per night, walks clear €10-€15/hour effectively, and daycare lands at €16-€28 per day. Petme charges 0% to pet owners, so up to 90% of every booking lands with you.
Which Greek cities have the most pet-sitting demand?
Athens and Thessaloniki dominate booking volume year-round. Patras and Heraklion are steady. From June to September, Mykonos, Santorini, Paros, Naxos, and Corfu run boarding rates 30-50% above Athens because of the tourism cycle.
Do I need to register at AADE for pet sitting income in Greece?
For occasional, low-volume income, the E1 personal tax return covers it as services-rendered income. For regular income, you usually need έναρξη επιτηδεύματος at the local tax office and EFKA registration as self-employed. Thresholds change each year. Consult an accountant for your case.
How does the August exodus (Δεκαπενταύγουστος) affect demand?
From around August 10, Athens and Thessaloniki empty out. Owners scramble to find sitters because their usual sitter is also away. Sitters who stay in the city through August fill their calendar fast and charge 20-40% above regular rates. Open availability by late June to land in search results early.
How does pet sitting in Greece compare to efood or Wolt delivery?
efood and Wolt riders in Athens clear €4-6 per hour after fuel and bike wear. Pet sitting through Petme clears €12-20 per hour on walks and more on overnight boarding, without the traffic and the rain.
What are typical Athens, Thessaloniki, and island rates?
Athens runs €15-35 per night for boarding and €10-18 for walks. Thessaloniki runs €12-30 per night and €8-15 for walks. Islands in August reach €25-50 per night and €15-25 for walks.
Does Petme cover Easter and Christmas demand in Greece?
Yes. Orthodox Easter (Holy Week) and Christmas-New Year are the second and third biggest demand peaks after August. Owners in Athens and Thessaloniki book 3-4 weeks ahead; opening availability early matters.
What does Law 4830/2021 say about pet sitting?
Law 4830/2021 sets the rules for the welfare of companion animals in Greece: mandatory microchipping, vaccinations, and owner responsibility. Sitters should ask for the pet's health booklet and microchip number before the first booking. This is not legal advice; consult a lawyer for ambiguous cases.
What is one thing Greek sitters wish they knew earlier?
"Open August availability by late June. Owners who plan ahead book early, and waiting until mid-July loses half the season." (Nikos M., Athens)

How do you handle dog walks in a northern Greek city in August?
You move the hours rather than drop the work. Walks go out before nine in the morning and again after sunset, and you press a palm to the asphalt first: if it is too hot to hold, stay on soil, in shade or along the seafront, keep the route short and carry water. Midday suits drop-in visits at home instead.
