Cat sitters in Valletta, Malta

Cat care in Valletta, in your own home

Valletta runs on rooftop cats and historic stairwells. The capital has a famously dense stray cat colony culture, with managed colonies cared for by long-time feeders in the gardens at the Lower Barrakka and along the Marsamxett bastions. Indoor cats here live in compact townhouses with limited window access, which makes drop-in visits the default service: a Petme sitter swings by once or twice a day for feeding, litter, and play.

Petme connects Valletta 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.

Drop-in visits

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

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.
