About house sitting in Sliema

Why Sliema owners pick Petme for house sitting

Sliema is Malta's densest expat town and its house-sitting capital. Most bookings are apartments in the Tower Road, Tigné Point and Qui-Si-Sana blocks, where the sitter handles concierge or key-safe access, keeps an indoor cat or small dog on its exact routine, and uses the promenade for the daily walks. Summer trips home are long here, so 7 to 14 night sits are normal.

August is the pressure point: Sliema has no festa of its own on 15 August, but Santa Marija fireworks from across the harbour are loud enough to stress anxious pets, and the sitter being physically present on display nights is exactly what owners book for. Reserve the festa weeks 4 to 6 weeks ahead.

Local context

House Sitting 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 house sitting cost in Sliema?
Rates in Sliema 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 Protection Plan 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 Sliema 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 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.
