House sitting in Ferries

The Ferries is the Sliema end closest to Valletta, where the harbour ferries and water taxis depart. It is the busiest, most touristy slice of Sliema and one of the densest residential areas in Malta, with most pet households living above ground-floor shops and restaurants. Sitters here are used to fast turnaround drop-ins on a packed walking radius.

Verified Petme sitters across Ferries and the wider Sliema area. Drop-in visits, in-home sitting, boarding and walks. Zero owner fees, €20,000 Protection Plan on every booking.

Ferries pet care across the Maltese calendar

Summer heat (Jun–Sep)

Ferries sitters time walks before 9am and after 7pm in the hot months, and test pavement temperature before every walk.

Festa fireworks

Anxious pets in Ferries get extra check-ins or full in-home sitting during the August festa weeks, especially around the Santa Marija peak.

Year-round comfort

Mild Maltese winters mean year-round walking, with the Sliema sitter pool comfortable handling weekly drop-ins, daily walks and overnight stays through every season.

Frequently asked

Questions from Ferries owners

Is the Ferries area too noisy for an anxious dog?
It can be. Sitters typically take anxious dogs on a quiet inland-street loop rather than the harbour-edge promenade, especially during cruise-ship arrival windows.
How fast can a sitter reach my Ferries flat?
Sitters typically respond within minutes during business hours. The Ferries area has the densest sitter coverage in Sliema, so same-day drop-ins are routine.
Are there pet-friendly cafés near the Ferries?
Yes. The outdoor terraces along the Ferries promenade welcome dogs at most cafés, especially in the cooler months.
How do sitters handle the summer heat in Ferries?
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 Sliema 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 Ferries?
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 Ferries 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 Sliema than in most places.
What does Petme cover in Ferries?
Verified pet sitters offering boarding, in-home sitting, drop-in visits and dog walks across Ferries. 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.
