The Strand · Sliema, Malta

Dog walking in The Strand

The Strand is the long seafront stretch of Sliema from the Ferries area towards Gżira, and it is the busiest walking route in town. Pet owners along The Strand mostly live in modern apartment blocks with limited outdoor space, which makes the promenade an essential daily walk. Petme sitters in the area cover the whole stretch from the ferry terminal down to the Gżira border.

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

The Strand pet care across the Maltese calendar

Summer heat (Jun–Sep)

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

Festa fireworks

Anxious pets in The Strand 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 The Strand owners

Is The Strand pram and dog friendly?
Yes. The Strand is flat, wide, paved end-to-end, and one of the most pram and dog friendly routes in Malta. Most sitters use it for the morning or sunset walk because of the sea breeze.
Are there shaded benches along The Strand?
Yes. The promenade has shaded benches every 100-200 metres on the inland side, which sitters use for water breaks with dogs in summer.
Can dogs swim off The Strand?
Not on the bathing-season rocky bays. Off-season (October to April) most of the rocky entry points are quiet enough for a dog to enter the water with supervision.
How do sitters handle the summer heat in The Strand?
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 The Strand?
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 The Strand 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 The Strand?
Verified pet sitters offering boarding, in-home sitting, drop-in visits and dog walks across The Strand. 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.
