Why daycare

Paid work for time you already spend at home

Daycare is the service with the lowest setup cost and the steadiest rhythm. There is no kennel to lease and no overnight commitment. A dog arrives in the morning, spends the day in your home, and goes back to its owner in the evening.

Your home, not a kennel

Dogs spend the day in a normal home with someone present. No kennel lease, no facility overhead, and no equipment beyond a safe indoor space and a water bowl.

AED 60 to 150 per day

A day of care runs AED 60 to 150, with overnight dog boarding AED 80 to 200 per night if you add it. 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.

Summer is the test

A 40°C day is where daycare hosts are made

From May to September, daytime highs sit above 40°C and pavement burns paws, so a dog cannot spend the day outside. That is exactly why owners pay for a home with air conditioning and someone present. Hosts who run garden or walk breaks at dawn and after sunset, keep an air-conditioned rest space through the midday peak, and refresh water constantly are the ones who hold their weekday regulars through the summer.

Built for people already home

If you work from home or keep flexible hours, daycare pays for time you are already spending at home. Drop-off is on the way to work for the owner, pickup is on the way back.

Self-employed, not a shift worker

You pick every booking, set your own AED daily rate, and answer to the owner, not a dispatcher. Run daycare like your own small business.

Weekday bookings repeat

Owners who need Tuesday and Thursday cover need it every week. A handful of regulars fills a standing schedule, which is what makes daycare steadier than one-off bookings.

Why hosts choose Petme

Built for self-employed daycare hosts

Typical platforms take a bigger cut of your earnings. Petme keeps 10 to 30%, adds cashback for your clients so they rebook, and offers owners up to AED 83,000 through the Protection Plan for eligible vet costs.

Keep up to 90%

You set your AED daily rate. Petme keeps 10 to 30%, and you keep up to 90% per booking.

Full schedule control

Accept or decline any request, and set how many dogs you take at once. Host one day a week or five. You decide.

Cashback drives repeat clients

Owners earn cashback every time they book you, which keeps the same weekday clients rebooking week after week.

Common questions

Doggy daycare jobs in the UAE

What new hosts ask before signing up on Petme in the UAE.

How much do doggy daycare hosts earn in the UAE?

Home dog daycare on Petme in the UAE runs AED 60 to 150 per day, depending on the dog and how long the day runs. Overnight dog boarding runs AED 80 to 200 per night if you add it. You set every rate, and you keep up to 90% of each booking.

What does a daycare booking involve?

A daycare day runs from a morning drop-off to an early-evening pickup at your home. You provide walks or garden breaks, play, a quiet rest space, fresh water, and photo updates through the app. Dogs go home the same day, so there is no overnight commitment unless you also offer boarding.

Do I need a villa or a garden to host dog daycare?

No. You set the dog sizes and the number of dogs you accept, so an apartment host can take one small dog while a villa host takes several. What owners look for is a safe indoor space, air conditioning through the summer, and someone who is home during the day.

How do I run daycare through the UAE summer?

From May to September the day moves indoors. Hosts run garden or walk breaks at dawn and after sunset, keep air-conditioned indoor play and rest through the midday peak, and refresh water constantly. Owners rebook the hosts who keep their dog comfortable across a 40°C day.

Where is daycare demand strongest in the UAE?

Villa communities where owners work office hours book the most: Arabian Ranches, The Springs, and Mirdif in Dubai, Khalifa City and Al Raha in Abu Dhabi. These are recurring weekday bookings rather than one-offs, so a few clients fill a regular week.

Do I need a licence to host daycare on Petme?

Yes. Working as a paid pet carer 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 daycare day?

The Petme Protection Plan can contribute up to AED 83,000 toward eligible vet costs 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 doggy daycare 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 daycare host. 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.
