About dog walking in Mellieħa

Why Mellieħa owners pick Petme for dog walking

Mellieħa is the walking capital of the north, with one seasonal catch. The bay promenade and the Għadira nature reserve perimeter are the staple routes, and the Marfa Ridge gives the best cliff-path walking in Malta. From September to January, hunting is active at dawn and dusk around Mizieb and the Mellieħa hinterland, so experienced walkers shift those hours to the bay front and keep dogs leashed near the ridge.

The town's housing splits between the village core, Santa Marija Estate and the Manikata side, and walkers cover all three by car. Summer brings holiday-let guests with dogs who book single walks at short notice; residents book recurring weekday rounds. Both get the same photo update and route note after every walk.

Frequently asked

Common questions from Mellieħa owners

How much does dog walking cost in Mellieħa?
Single walks in Mellieħa typically run €10 to €18 per session (30 to 60 minutes). Recurring weekly packages get a small discount. Petme charges 0% to owners and includes €20,000 vet protection on every booking.
When do walks happen in summer?
Maltese summer (June to September) is too hot for midday walking. Most Mellieħa walkers schedule before 9am or after 7pm and avoid the 12 to 4pm window. Walkers also test pavement temperature with the back of a hand before the walk starts.
Can I book recurring weekday walks?
Yes. Many Mellieħa owners with office jobs in Sliema, St Julian's or Valletta book a recurring slot (e.g. lunchtime 5×/week or after-work 3×/week) with the same walker for a predictable routine.
What about the festa fireworks?
From late July to mid-September walkers shift schedules around fireworks displays, especially the Santa Marija peak on 15 August. Anxious dogs typically get a calmer pre-fireworks walk and skip evenings with major aerial displays.
Are sitters in Mellieħa 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 Mellieħa, 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.
