About dog boarding in Sliema

Why Sliema owners pick Petme for dog boarding

Sliema generates more boarding demand than any other Maltese town: the expat population travels often and long, and apartment dogs need a host's home rather than an empty flat. Hosts with terraces, ground-floor access or proximity to the promenade for the daily walks sit at the top of every owner's shortlist, and at the top of the price band.

The practical playbook for Sliema owners: book July, August and Christmas 4 to 6 weeks ahead, run a trial night with the chosen host before any stay over a week, and hand over the routine in writing at the meet-and-greet. Daily photo updates come standard on every Petme boarding stay.

Local context

Dog Boarding across the Maltese calendar

Summer heat (Jun–Sep)

Sitters in Sliema schedule around the midday heat. Most bookings shift to before 9am or after 7pm during the hot months so paws stay safe on the limestone.

Festa fireworks (Jul–Sep)

Malta's festa season brings island-wide fireworks, peaking around Santa Marija on 15 August. Sitters plan calmer routes and adjust schedules on major display nights.

Hunting season (Sep–Jan)

Dog-related bookings around Mellieħa, Buskett and Dingli avoid the worst hunting hotspots between September and January. Sitters know the safer routes.

Frequently asked

Common questions from Sliema owners

How much does dog boarding cost in Sliema?
Boarding in Sliema runs €18 to €35 per night, with inner-harbour towns at the upper end and quieter areas at the lower end. Petme charges 0% to owners and includes €20,000 vet protection on every booking.
Where does my dog sleep during boarding?
Inside the sitter's home, like a family dog. Petme boarding in Sliema is home boarding, not kennel boarding: no cages, no outdoor runs, and most hosts take one booking at a time so your dog gets full attention.
Can we do a trial night before a long trip?
Yes, and for stays over a week it's worth it. Book a single night with your chosen Sliema host before the long booking so your dog already knows the home, the routine and the smells when the real trip starts.
How far ahead should I book for summer?
For July and August, book 4 to 6 weeks ahead. Summer is Malta's boarding peak: residents travel, the festa calendar fills weekends, and the best-reviewed Sliema hosts with gardens are reserved first.
Are sitters in Sliema verified?
Yes. Every Petme sitter passes an ID verification check and is rated by real Maltese owners. Read reviews on each sitter profile, then book a free meet-and-greet before the first booking.
What does the Petme Protection Plan cover?
Up to €20,000 in vet expenses if anything happens to your pet during the booking. Automatic on every booking in Sliema, no separate purchase, no deductible.
Is there a booking fee?
No. Petme charges 0% to pet owners. The rate on the sitter's profile is exactly what you pay at checkout. Sitters also earn cashback on every completed booking.
