Set your rates across 5 pet care services
Every service gets its own rate and availability. List one or all five. The more you offer, the more booking requests you receive.
Boarding
€18 to 35 per night. Dogs stay at your home overnight. Sliema, St Julian's and Ta' Xbiex sit at the upper end. Set your own nightly rate and house rules.
Dog walking
€10 to 18 per walk. Per 30- to 60-minute walk, scheduled around the summer heat windows. Recurring weekday rounds build a reliable income base.
Daycare
€15 to 30 per day. Day-only care while owners work in the inner-harbour offices. Most hosts cap daycare at 2 to 3 dogs per day.
Drop-in visits
€8 to 14 per visit. 30- to 45-minute check-ins: feeding, water, litter, brief play, photo update. The most-booked Maltese cat service.
House sitting
€25 to 50 per night. You stay at the owner's home. The top pick during the festa-fireworks weeks, when anxious pets do best in their own environment.
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 sitters, 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 job with €20,000 in vet coverage.
90% earnings
Petme keeps a 10 to 15% service fee. With sitter cashback, high-performing sitters take home around 90% of every booking.
Full schedule control
No assigned shifts. No minimum hours. Accept or decline booking requests as they come in. Pause your profile any time.
Cashback for your clients
Pet owners earn cashback on every booking, which means they come back. Repeat clients are the norm on Petme, not the exception.
Fast payouts
Earnings land in your bank account within 2 business days of each completed booking. No invoicing, no chasing payments.
€20,000 vet protection
Every confirmed booking includes automatic emergency vet coverage. You are not personally on the hook if something goes wrong during a stay.
Reputation compounds
Malta is small enough that good reviews travel by word of mouth. A handful of five-star stays builds a repeat-client base fast.

Pet sitting jobs in Malta
What new sitters ask before signing up on Petme in Malta.
How much can I earn as a pet sitter in Malta?
Maltese sitters on Petme earn €8 to €50 per booking depending on the service. Boarding runs €18 to €35 per night, house sitting €25 to €50 per night, dog walks €10 to €18, and drop-in visits €8 to €14. With sitter cashback you keep up to 90% of every booking.
What services can I offer on Petme in Malta?
Any combination of five services: in-home dog boarding, dog walking, doggy daycare, drop-in pet visits, and house sitting. Each service gets its own rate and availability settings, and most Maltese sitters list two or three to keep their calendar full.
Do I need to register as self-employed in Malta?
For regular pet sitting income, yes: register as self-employed with the Commissioner for Revenue. Occasional income still needs declaring on your tax return. Keep a record of bookings; the Petme app gives you a clean history of every completed stay.
Where is sitter demand strongest in Malta?
Sliema, St Julian's, and Valletta carry most of the bookings because that is where the expat density is. Gżira, Msida, and Swieqi follow. On Gozo, Victoria-based sitters cover the surrounding villages and the ferry-day market.
When is the busiest season for pet sitters in Malta?
Late June through early September, when residents travel and the festa fireworks push anxious-pet owners toward house sitting, plus the Christmas window. The Santa Marija week around 15 August is the single busiest stretch of the year.
What does the €20,000 vet protection cover?
Every booking on Petme automatically includes up to €20,000 in emergency veterinary coverage. If a pet in your care needs urgent treatment during a booking, eligible costs are covered, so you never carry that liability alone. Full terms are in the Petme app.
Can I pet sit alongside a full-time job?
Yes. You set your own availability and accept only the bookings that fit. Drop-in visits slot into lunch breaks, walks fit before or after office hours, and boarding runs alongside your normal home routine. There are no assigned shifts or minimum hours.
Which Maltese towns can I get pet sitting jobs in?
Petme recruits sitters in 16 towns across Malta and Gozo: Valletta, Sliema, St Julian's, Birkirkara, Mosta, Gżira, Msida, Swieqi, Pembroke, San Ġwann, Ta' Xbiex, Mellieħa, St Paul's Bay, Naxxar, Marsaskala, and Victoria on Gozo.
