Frequently asked

Questions from City Gate area owners

Are dogs allowed in Hastings Gardens?
Yes, on lead. Hastings Gardens sits on the bastion above City Gate and is a shaded, flat, and quieter alternative to Upper Barrakka.
Is the City Gate area noisy?
During the day, yes, because of bus terminals and visitor traffic. Sitters typically time walks for the early morning or after the bus terminal quietens in the evening.
How does access work for the modern blocks?
Modern City Gate blocks use key codes or fobs. Hand over the codes at the meet-and-greet; Petme stores them encrypted so only the assigned sitter sees them.
How do sitters handle the summer heat in City Gate area?
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 Valletta 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 City Gate area?
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 City Gate area 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 Valletta than in most places.
What does Petme cover in City Gate area?
Verified pet sitters offering boarding, in-home sitting, drop-in visits and dog walks across City Gate area. 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.
