Frequently asked
Questions from Wardija owners
Are sitters comfortable with multi-animal Wardija households?
Yes. Many Wardija households have multiple cats, a dog, and sometimes garden cats or chickens. Sitters comfortable with the mix tend to be long-tenured residents themselves.
Is the Wardija ridge a good area for long walks?
Yes. The ridge has open country lanes, panoramic views, and significantly cooler evening breezes than the bay below. Great for late-afternoon walks in summer.
How long does it take to drive down to the bay?
About 10 minutes. Wardija sitters who also cover Bugibba and Qawra build their visit cycles around the drive.
How do sitters handle the summer heat in Wardija?
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 Wardija?
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 Wardija 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 Wardija?
Verified pet sitters offering boarding, in-home sitting, drop-in visits and dog walks across Wardija. 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.
