Frequently asked
Questions from Wied il-Qlejgħa owners
Are dogs allowed in the valley?
Yes, on lead. The valley paths are well-used by dog walkers and have shaded benches and water access points along the route.
Is the valley safe in summer?
Yes, and especially valuable in summer because of the shade. The temperature in the valley runs noticeably cooler than the surrounding streets during the hot afternoons.
Do sitters from outside Birkirkara use the valley?
Yes. Sliema, St Julian's and Mosta sitters often drive over for the longer walk because Wied il-Qlejgħa is one of the best shaded walking spots in the inner-harbour region.
How do sitters handle the summer heat in Wied il-Qlejgħa?
By moving the day around it. Walks go early in the morning and again after sunset, pavements get checked with a hand before a dog is taken out on them, and the middle of the day is for shade, water and quiet indoors. Agree the timings with your Birkirkara sitter when you book, and say so if your dog is a flat-faced breed or an older one that struggles in the heat.
What do I need to have in order before booking in Wied il-Qlejgħa?
Your dog should be microchipped and on the national register, which is required in Malta under the Electronic Identification of Dogs Regulations. Beyond that, give your Wied il-Qlejgħa sitter the vet you use, the feeding routine, and a note of how your dog behaves with other dogs on a narrow street, which comes up more in Birkirkara than in most places.
What does Petme cover in Wied il-Qlejgħa?
Verified pet sitters offering boarding, in-home sitting, drop-in visits and dog walks across Wied il-Qlejgħa. The Protection Plan can contribute up to €20,000 toward eligible vet costs.
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.
