Frequently asked

Questions from Santa Marija Estate owners

Is the Estate good for dog walks?
Yes. The estate streets are quiet, the surrounding country lanes offer longer walks, and the Marfa Ridge is a short walk or drive away for the daily long walk.
Are sitters comfortable with multi-week bookings?
Yes. The Santa Marija Estate sitter pool specialises in longer stays, especially the autumn-winter weeks when holiday-let owners are abroad.
How do sitters handle the August fireworks?
Santa Marija (15 August) brings major fireworks in the Mellieħa parish. Sitters close blinds, leave familiar background sounds, and check in more frequently during the display nights.
How do sitters handle the summer heat in Santa Marija Estate?
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 Mellieħa 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 Santa Marija Estate?
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 Santa Marija Estate 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 Mellieħa than in most places.
What does Petme cover in Santa Marija Estate?
Verified pet sitters offering boarding, in-home sitting, drop-in visits and dog walks across Santa Marija Estate. Every booking includes €20,000 Protection Plan at no extra cost.
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.
