Cat care services across Malta
Three ways to care for a Maltese cat
In-home cat sitting
A trusted sitter stays in your home, so your cat keeps the same routine, bowls and windows. Best for longer trips and anxious cats.
Cat boarding
Overnight stays in a verified sitter’s home. Calm, never caged. Best for short trips and multi-cat households.

Local context
Cat care across the Maltese calendar
Summer heat (Jun–Sep)
Maltese cats sleep through the midday heat. Sitters time visits before 9am and after sunset, refresh water twice a day and rotate frozen tiles or cooling mats for at-risk seniors.
Festa fireworks (Jul–Sep)
Santa Marija on 15 August and the surrounding festa weeks bring island-wide fireworks. Anxious cats need extra check-ins, closed blinds, familiar sounds and quiet rooms. Book a sitter 4–6 weeks ahead for peak nights.
Long travel (Christmas, Easter, summer)
In-home cat sitting books fastest around the long-travel weeks. Lock the dates in 4–6 weeks ahead, especially for the inner-harbour towns.
Frequently asked
Common questions from Maltese cat owners
How much do cat sitters cost in Malta?
Drop-in cat visits in Malta typically run €8 to €14 per visit (30 to 45 minutes). In-home cat sitting runs €25 to €50 per night, with the inner-harbour towns (Sliema, St Julian's, Ta' Xbiex) at the upper end and the south and Mellieħa at the lower end. Petme charges 0% to owners and includes Protection Plan up to €20,000.
Are sitters comfortable with stray-cat colonies?
Yes. Malta has a strong managed-colony culture (TNR, daily feeders) and many Petme sitters are also colony volunteers. You can book a sitter who handles your indoor cat plus your local outdoor colony in the same visit cycle.
Can I book a cat sitter for the feast-season fireworks?
Yes, and it's the right move. The Maltese festa fireworks season (June to September, peaking around Santa Marija on 15 August) stresses anxious cats. Most owners book extra drop-in visits or full in-home sitting during display nights. Schedule the sitter 4-6 weeks ahead for the peak weeks.
What does the Petme Protection Plan cover for cat bookings?
Up to €20,000 in vet expenses if anything happens to your cat during the booking. Automatic on every booking, no separate purchase, no deductible.
Are sitters available island-wide?
Yes. Petme has verified cat 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. Browse the city list below to find sitters near you.
Can I meet the sitter first?
Yes. We recommend a free meet-and-greet before the first booking so your cat and the sitter get to know each other, and so you can hand over keys, the litter routine and the feeding schedule in person.
