Pet Sitters

A new legislation has been implemented regulating Pet Sitters and Dog Establishment Owners in Malta. This new law comes in the wake of far to many incidents being reported whereby animals have been harmed, mistreated or even killed whilst under the care and supervision of groomers and boarders.

This new legislation, titled Subsidiary Legislation 439.26: Standards for Operating Pet Sitting Accommodations and Pet Boarding Accommodation Establishments for Cats and Dogs Regulations, 2024, came into effect on August 28, 2024. This legislation replaces Subsidiary Legislation 439.15: Minimum Standards for Operating a Boarding Establishment for Cats and Dogs Regulations, which had been in place since April 2, 2014.
