Spinola Bay pet care across the Maltese calendar

Summer heat (Jun–Sep)

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

Festa fireworks

Anxious pets in Spinola Bay 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 St Julians sitter pool comfortable handling weekly drop-ins, daily walks and overnight stays through every season.

Frequently asked

Questions from Spinola Bay owners

Are dogs welcome at Spinola Bay cafés?
Yes. The bay-side café terraces are dog-welcoming, especially in the cooler months. Several sitters use the cafés as a halfway point during longer walks.
Is Spinola Bay safe for senior dogs?
Yes. The bay promenade is flat, paved end-to-end, with multiple shaded sit-spots. Senior dogs walk the perimeter in 20-30 minutes comfortably.
Where does the bay walk lead to?
East towards Balluta Bay and St George's Bay; west towards Portomaso Marina and Paceville. The full circuit is around 3km and used by sitters for the daily long walk.
How do sitters handle the summer heat in Spinola Bay?
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 St Julians 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 Spinola Bay?
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 Spinola Bay 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 St Julians than in most places.
What does Petme cover in Spinola Bay?
Verified pet sitters offering boarding, in-home sitting, drop-in visits and dog walks across Spinola Bay. 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.
