About dog walking in Sliema

Why Sliema owners pick Petme for dog walking

Sliema has the single best flat walking route in Malta: the promenade from The Strand around Tigné Point to Qui-Si-Sana and Fond Għadir. The inland side of the front has shaded benches every couple of hundred metres, which is what makes summer water breaks workable, and Independence Gardens is the closest thing to a park on this side of the island, with dogs welcome on lead.

The Sliema booking pattern is office-hour driven: recurring lunchtime walks for apartment dogs in the Tower Road and Tigné blocks, then a longer seafront walk after 7pm when the pavement passes the back-of-hand test. Walkers cluster bookings within the same few streets, so the same walker often covers a dog on The Strand and another in Qui-Si-Sana back to back.

Local context

Dog Walking 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 walking cost in Sliema?
Single walks in Sliema 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 Sliema 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 Sliema 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 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.
