About house sitting in Victoria

Why Victoria owners pick Petme for house sitting

On Gozo, house sitting is often farmhouse sitting: converted stone houses around Victoria, Xagħra and Kerċem with courtyards, cisterns, and cats that patrol a territory rather than a sofa. Moving these animals off-island for a trip rarely makes sense, so a sitter who moves in and runs the household is the default for longer absences.

Gozitan owners travel in two patterns: abroad via Malta International, and across to Malta island for stretches of work or family time. Both leave the same gap, and a Victoria-based sitter covers it while keeping the dog walked on the Cittadella ring or the Xlendi valley path and the courtyard cats fed on schedule.

Local context

House Sitting across the Maltese calendar

Summer heat (Jun–Sep)

Sitters in Victoria 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 Victoria owners

How much does house sitting cost in Victoria?
Rates in Victoria 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 Victoria 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.
Can a sitter manage a Gozo farmhouse, not just a flat?
Yes, that is the typical Gozo booking. Sitters handle courtyard and garden animals, well or cistern quirks, and outdoor cats that come and go. Walk the sitter through the property routine at the meet-and-greet and leave written notes for anything seasonal.
Are sitters in Victoria 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 Victoria, 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.
