About house sitting in St Paul's Bay

Why St Paul's Bay owners pick Petme for house sitting

St Paul's Bay house sitting covers a wide patch: Bugibba and Qawra apartments, Xemxija hillside homes and the farmhouses towards Burmarrad and Wardija. The mix of long-term residents and seasonal absences makes this one of the north's steadiest house-sitting markets, with stays often running longer than a week.

The walking part of the job is easy here: the bay promenade absorbs the daily routine, and the Qawra Point loop covers the longer outing. For summer sits, the sitter shifts walks to the early and late windows and keeps the home shaded through the afternoon heat.

Local context

House Sitting across the Maltese calendar

Summer heat (Jun–Sep)

Sitters in St Paul's Bay 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 St Paul's Bay owners

How much does house sitting cost in St Paul's Bay?
Rates in St Paul's Bay 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 St Paul's Bay 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 St Paul's Bay 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 St Paul's Bay, 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.
