Trusted dog care
across United Arab Emirates

On Petme, dog boarding runs about AED 80 to 200 per night, dog walking AED 50 to 120 per walk, drop-in visits AED 50 to 100, and house sitting AED 100 to 250 per night. Petme charges owners 0% commission, so the rate you agree with your sitter is the full price.

Yes. Every sitter completes ID verification before they can take bookings. You also see real profiles, photos, and reviews from previous stays before you book, and the Protection Plan can contribute up to AED 83,000 toward eligible vet costs.

From May to September, verified sitters walk dogs before 8am and after sunset, use the 5-second pavement test to avoid paw burns, and keep pets in air-conditioned indoor spaces during the midday peak. Doggy daycare and drop-in visits are popular heat-safe alternatives to long walks.

For most pets, yes. Petme boarding hosts one or two pets in a verified sitter's air-conditioned home, not a row of cages. Your pet keeps normal walks, indoor space, and one-on-one attention the whole stay.

Yes. Many Petme sitters are experienced with recently-relocated pets settling into the climate and a new home. Create a free account to browse verified sitters in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Sharjah, read reviews, and message before you book.

At-home pet care covers everything that happens in a home rather than a facility, and on Petme it splits two ways. Either the sitter comes to your home for a walk, a drop-in visit or an overnight house sit, so your pet never leaves its own territory, or your pet stays at the sitter's home for boarding or daycare. Cats and older animals almost always do better with pet care at home; sociable dogs are usually happy either way.

A booking covers the care itself plus the things around it: feeding to your instructions, fresh water, medication if your pet needs it, walks or litter changes, and photo updates each visit. The Protection Plan can also contribute up to AED 83,000 toward eligible emergency treatment. Petme charges owners 0% commission, so there is no service fee stacked on the sitter rate.

Every dog sitter on Petme completes identity verification before their profile goes live. Most sitters also have reviews written by dog owners in United Arab Emirates who have used their services. You can browse each sitter's full profile, view their photos with dogs, check their listed breed experience, and read every review before getting in touch. You are never obligated to book - messaging a sitter is always free.

Yes, for eligible vet costs. For bookings made through Petme, whether overnight boarding, a dog walk, or a drop-in visit, the Petme Protection Plan may contribute up to $22,000 if your dog is injured or becomes ill during a stay or walk, subject to the Protection Plan terms. No separate purchase is required. Eligibility rules apply, so read the terms before you book.

Yes. You can message a sitter in chat and arrange a meet-and-greet before you book. You and your dog get to meet the sitter in person before you confirm anything, and you only go ahead when you are both comfortable. Meeting a sitter first is the best way to check the match.
