About house sitting in Mellieħa

Why Mellieħa owners pick Petme for house sitting

Mellieħa house sits skew toward houses rather than flats: village-core homes, Santa Marija Estate villas and properties out toward Manikata, many with terraces, gardens or outdoor cats that cannot simply be moved to a sitter's flat. A live-in sitter keeps the property running and the animals in their own territory.

Mellieħa's own festa falls in early September, right at the tail of the island-wide fireworks season, and summer is also when the town's holiday-let traffic peaks. The result: the busiest Mellieħa house-sitting weeks run from late July to mid-September, and the strongest sitters get booked out first.

Local context

House Sitting across the Maltese calendar

Summer heat (Jun–Sep)

Sitters in Mellieħa 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 Mellieħa owners

How much does house sitting cost in Mellieħa?
Rates in Mellieħa run €25 to €50 per night, with the inner-harbour towns (Sliema, St Julian's, Ta' Xbiex) at the upper end. Petme charges 0% to owners and includes €20,000 vet protection on every booking.
Does the sitter sleep in my home?
Yes. The sitter stays overnight in your home, follows the routine you leave behind, and cares for your pet as if it were their own. Your home stays occupied while you are away.
Is this better than boarding for the festa fireworks?
For anxious pets, yes. House sitting keeps the pet in their familiar environment during the late-July to mid-September fireworks peak. The sitter can close blinds, play familiar sounds, and stay close during display nights.
Can I meet the sitter before the first booking?
Yes. We recommend a free meet-and-greet in your Mellieħa home so the sitter knows the key code, alarm, the pet's routine, and you've handed over keys in person before the trip starts.
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.
