Cat sitters in Mellieħa, Malta

Cat care in Mellieħa, in your own home

Mellieħa is a holiday-let town, and the cat population reflects that: a stable core of village families with garden cats around Misraħ tal-Knisja and Santa Marija Estate, plus a long tail of holiday-let owners with indoor cats they leave behind when off-island. Mellieħa sitters often handle longer absences (1-3 weeks) outside the busy summer window.

Petme connects Mellieħa cat owners with verified local sitters for drop-in visits, overnight in-home sitting, and short-term boarding. Zero booking fees, €20,000 vet protection, cashback on every completed booking.

Three ways to care for a Mellieħa cat

Drop-in visits

Short visits at your home. Food, water, litter, brief play and a photo update. The most-booked cat service in Mellieħa.

In-home cat sitting

A trusted sitter stays in your home, so your cat keeps the same routine, the same bowls and the same windows. Best for longer trips.

Cat boarding

Overnight stays in a verified sitter’s home. Calm, never caged. Best for short trips and multi-cat households.
