Dog boarding in Qawra

Qawra extends north from Bugibba around the headland to Qawra Point. The area mixes hotels, the National Aquarium, and apartment blocks for year-round residents. Pet households here lean toward long-term retirees with one or two cats and small-to-medium dogs. The Qawra Point coastal loop is a sitter favourite for the daily walk.

Frequently asked

Questions from Qawra owners

How long is the Qawra Point loop?
About 4-5km return from the centre of Qawra. The loop is mostly flat, with rocky coastal sections and shaded inland stretches.
Are there sitters near the Aquarium?
Yes. The apartment blocks around the National Aquarium have a steady local sitter pool, mostly year-round retirees and remote workers.
Is Qawra cheaper than Sliema for sitting?
Yes. Qawra drop-in rates typically run €7-12 versus €8-14 in inner-harbour Sliema for the same 30-45 minute visit.
How do sitters handle the summer heat in Qawra?
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 Qawra?
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 Qawra 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 Qawra?
Verified pet sitters offering boarding, in-home sitting, drop-in visits and dog walks across Qawra. 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.
