A low-overhead way to earn with pets
Cat sitting is the easiest pet-care service to start with in Dubai. There is no boarding setup and no overnight commitment unless you want it. You visit cats in their own home, which keeps your costs near zero and your schedule flexible.
Work happens at the cat's home
Cats stay in their own home, so you travel to them for short, focused visits. No boarding setup, no kennels, no overnight commitment unless you want house sits.
AED 50 to 100 per visit
In-home cat visits run AED 50 to 100 each, with overnight cat house sitting AED 100 to 250 per night. You set every rate and keep up to 90% with cashback.
AED 15,000 vet protection
Every confirmed booking automatically includes up to AED 15,000 in emergency vet coverage. Free for you, free for the owner.
A flexible job you run around your life
Searching for flexible or work-from-home jobs in Dubai? Cat sitting is in-person work, but you control it like your own business. Morning and evening visits fit around a day job, and you only accept the bookings that suit your week.
Fits around a day job
Morning and evening drop-ins slot neatly around a regular job. Run a round of cat visits before and after work, then take overnight house sits on weekends.
Self-employed, not a shift worker
You pick every booking, set your own AED rate per visit, and answer to the owner, not a dispatcher. Run cat care like your own small business across Dubai.
Start small, scale when ready
Start with a few visits a week alongside another job, then add overnight house sitting and a wider service area as your regular clients grow.
Built for self-employed cat sitters
Other platforms take 20 to 40% of your earnings. Petme keeps 10 to 15%, adds cashback for your clients so they rebook, and protects every booking with AED 15,000 in vet coverage.
Keep up to 90%
You set your AED rate per visit. Petme keeps 10 to 15%, and sitter cashback pushes your take-home toward 90% per booking.
Full schedule control
Accept or decline any request. Build a tight round of nearby cat visits, or block out the days you are away. You decide.
Cashback drives repeat clients
Owners earn cashback every time they book you, which keeps the same cat clients rebooking trip after trip.
Cat sitting jobs in the UAE
What new sitters ask before signing up on Petme in the UAE.
How much do cat sitters earn in the UAE?
In-home cat visits on Petme in the UAE run AED 50 to 100 per visit, depending on length and the number of cats. Overnight cat house sitting runs AED 100 to 250 per night. You set every rate, and with sitter cashback you keep up to 90% of each booking.
What does a cat sitting booking involve?
Most cat owners book drop-in visits: you go to their home to feed, refresh water, clean the litter tray, play, and send photo updates. Some book overnight house sitting so the cat keeps its own routine while the owner travels. Cats rarely board, so the work happens at the owner's home.
Is cat sitting a remote or work-from-home job?
Cat sitting is in-person work, not a remote desk job. The overlap with flexible and work-from-home roles is the freedom: you set your own hours, pick your own clients, and fit visits around an existing job. Drop-in visits cluster around mornings and evenings, which suits people working a regular day job.
Where is cat sitting demand strongest in Dubai?
Apartment-dense communities with many cat owners book the most: Dubai Marina, JLT, Downtown, Business Bay, and Jumeirah. Demand spikes around Eid and the summer travel season, when owners leave for weeks and need daily in-home visits.
Do I need a licence to be a cat sitter on Petme?
A formal pet sitting business licence is not required to act as an individual sitter on Petme. You do need valid ID, an Emirates ID for residents, and to pass our identity verification before owners can book you.
How and when do I get paid?
Payments are processed automatically after each completed booking and transferred to your UAE bank account within 2 to 3 working days. You keep up to 90% of every booking with sitter cashback.
What if something goes wrong during a visit?
Every Petme booking includes Petme Protection, which covers veterinary expenses up to AED 15,000 in case of accident or illness during care. Our support team is available 24/7 to help with any issues.
