About pet sitters in Malta
Pet sitters in Malta look after cats and dogs in a few ways: visits to your home to feed and play, overnight stays in your home, care in the sitter's own home, day care, and dog walks. Home visits keep a cat in familiar surroundings, while a dog may need walks and company through the day. Pick the kind of care that suits your pet.
Pet sitting in Malta has its own rules. Pet sitters, including dog walkers and day carers, register with the Animal Welfare Directorate, while pet boarding establishments need a licence. Ask any sitter whether they are registered before you book, and arrange a meet-and-greet so your pet can get to know them.
Price depends on the type of care, the number of pets, how many visits a day you need, and whether the sitter stays overnight. Giving medication, a pet with special needs, busy holiday periods and long stays all change the cost. Agree on routines, feeding, keys and the vet to call before you travel.

Questions
How much does a pet sitter cost in Malta?
It depends on the type of care. Short home visits, daily walks, overnight stays and boarding in the sitter's home are all priced differently. The number of pets, medication, how many visits a day and peak holiday dates also change the total. Ask for a written quote covering the whole trip, including any extra for weekends or late returns.
Do pet sitters in Malta need a licence?
Pet sitters register rather than hold a licence. Since the 2024 regulations, pet sitting, including dog walking and day care, is registered with the Animal Welfare Directorate, while pet boarding establishments are licensed. Ask the sitter for their registration and check it with the Directorate before you book. Tminta does not check registrations.
Can I find a dog walker or pet sitter in Gozo?
Look at the towns on each profile. Daily walks and home visits need someone nearby, so a sitter based in Gozo is the practical choice there. If you are going away for a while and a sitter in Malta offers care in their own home, ask how they would handle the ferry trip and what your pet needs for the journey.
Should my pet stay at home or with the sitter?
Many cats cope better at home with daily visits, since a new place can stress them. Dogs often need more company, so overnight stays in your home or care in the sitter's home can suit them better. Ask the sitter what they recommend for your pet, and how many other animals will be there.
