Frequently asked

Questions from Bugibba owners

Is the Bugibba promenade dog-friendly?
Yes. The promenade is flat, paved, with shaded benches and water fountains. It runs the full length of Bugibba into Qawra and is one of the longest seafront walks in Malta.
Is Bugibba Square dog-welcoming?
Yes, on lead. The square has café terraces that welcome dogs and is a common rest stop on the longer Bugibba-Qawra walk.
Are there sitters during the summer peak?
Yes. Bugibba has the deepest sitter pool in the bay area, but book early for July and August because demand is high.
How do sitters handle the summer heat in Bugibba?
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 Paul's Bay 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 Bugibba?
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 Bugibba 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 Paul's Bay than in most places.
What does Petme cover in Bugibba?
Verified pet sitters offering boarding, in-home sitting, drop-in visits and dog walks across Bugibba. 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.
