Walking first, then the add-ons that grow your income
Most Maltese walkers start with single walks, lock in recurring rounds, then add daycare, drop-ins, and boarding for their regulars.
Single walks
€10 to 18 per walk. 30 to 60 minutes per session. You choose the routes: promenades, shaded side streets, or the Gozo country lanes.
Recurring rounds
3 to 5 walks a week per dog. Office-hour owners book fixed weekday slots. A stable round of regulars is the backbone of a Maltese walking income.
Daycare add-on
€15 to 30 per day. Many walkers add daycare for their regulars: the dog spends the day at your place between the morning and evening walk.
Drop-in add-on
€8 to 14 per visit. Short home visits pair naturally with walking rounds in the same building cluster. Feeding, water, play, photo update.
Boarding upgrade
€18 to 35 per night. Your walking regulars become boarding clients when their owners travel. The highest-paying service on the platform.
Protected on every booking
€20,000 vet coverage. Every confirmed Petme booking automatically includes emergency vet protection. Free for you, free for the owner.
Built for walkers, not against them
Other platforms take 20 to 40% of your earnings. Petme keeps 10 to 15%, adds cashback for your clients so they rebook, and protects every walk with €20,000 in vet coverage.
90% earnings
Petme keeps a 10 to 15% service fee. With sitter cashback, busy walkers take home around 90% of every booking.
Heat-smart scheduling
Summer walks run before 9am and after 7pm. The app makes split-shift availability easy to set, so the heat curfew works for you.
Your routes, your hours
No assigned shifts and no minimum walks. Accept the requests that fit your day and pause your profile whenever you need.
Fast payouts
Earnings land in your bank account within 2 business days of each completed walk. No invoicing, no chasing payments.
€20,000 vet protection
Every confirmed booking includes automatic emergency vet coverage. You are never personally on the hook for a vet bill.
Owners who rebook
Owners earn cashback on every booking, so they keep their walker instead of shopping around. Regulars are the norm.

Dog walking jobs in Malta
What new walkers ask before signing up on Petme in Malta.
How much do dog walkers earn in Malta?
Dog walks on Petme in Malta pay €10 to €18 per 30- to 60-minute session, with Sliema, St Julian's and Ta' Xbiex at the upper end. Walkers who build recurring weekday rounds earn the most, and with sitter cashback you keep up to 90% of every booking.
What do I need to start walking dogs on Petme?
You need to be 18 or older, have a smartphone with the Petme app, and pass ID verification. No formal qualification is required, although pet first aid knowledge is a plus that owners notice on your profile.
When do dogs get walked during the Maltese summer?
Before 9am and after 7pm. From June to September the midday heat makes the 12 to 4pm window unsafe for paws on limestone pavement, so summer rounds compress into the cooler ends of the day. That suits walkers pairing this with another job.
Can I build a recurring weekday round?
Yes, and it is how Maltese walkers earn steadily. Owners with office jobs in Sliema, St Julian's and Valletta book the same lunchtime or after-work slot 3 to 5 times a week. A round of four or five recurring dogs fills a morning.
Is dog walking income taxable in Malta?
Yes. Regular dog-walking income counts as self-employment, which means registering with the Commissioner for Revenue and declaring it on your return. The Petme app keeps a record of every completed booking, which makes the paperwork straightforward.
What happens if a dog gets hurt on a walk?
Every Petme booking includes up to €20,000 in emergency veterinary coverage automatically. If a dog in your care needs urgent treatment during a booked walk, eligible costs are covered, so you are not personally liable. Full terms are in the app.
Does hunting season change where I can walk?
It changes where you should walk. From September to January, hunting is active around Mizieb, Mellieħa, Dingli and Buskett at dawn and dusk. Experienced walkers shift to coastal promenades and urban routes during those hours and keep dogs leashed near the hotspots.
Which towns have dog walking jobs on Petme?
All 16 Petme towns across Malta and Gozo have walking demand, with the deepest pool in the inner-harbour belt: Sliema, St Julian's, Gżira, Msida and Valletta. Victoria covers the Gozo side, where country-lane routes replace the promenades.
