Why cat sitting

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%.

AED 83,000 Protection Plan

The Protection Plan can contribute up to AED 83,000 toward eligible vet costs. Free for you, free for the owner.

Flexible, self-scheduled work

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.

Common questions

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 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?

Yes. Working as a cat sitter in Dubai requires a valid UAE trade license. You will submit it to Stripe during onboarding, and payouts are enabled once it clears verification.

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.

What if something goes wrong during a visit?

Every Petme booking includes Petme Protection, which covers veterinary expenses up to AED 83,000 in case of accident or illness during care. Our support team is available 24/7 to help with any issues.

Can I do this as a part time job in the UAE?

Yes, and most people do. There are no shifts, no rosters and no minimum hours, so cat sitting sits alongside a full time job, a degree or family time. You publish the hours you are free and accept only the requests that fit. A few sitters cover several neighborhoods and run it as full time income instead, and you can move between the two whenever you like.

What do I need to apply?

You need to be 18 or over and you complete identity verification before anyone can book you as a cat sitter. From there owners judge you on your profile: whether you are calm and confident with the animal, reliable about arriving when you said you would, and quick to reply. Reviews build from your first booking onward.
