House Sitting in Dubai

Sitter stays at your home so every routine continues

Some pets do not travel well, and some routines are too specific for a boarding facility. A senior dog needs its own bed, a multi-pet household needs normal feeding times, a cat needs its own territory, and birds and reptiles need the AC held at a set temperature. House sitting on Petme puts a verified Dubai sitter in your home overnight so none of that has to change while you are away. It is overnight pet sitting at your own address rather than a stay in someone else's.

The job looks different by address. In Arabian Ranches, Mirdif and The Springs it is a villa or townhouse with a garden, a driveway and a spare room, so garden access and the evening walk set the rhythm. In Dubai Marina, Business Bay and JLT it is an apartment, where the routine is the lift, the lead and Safa Park twice a day. Say which of the two you are in when you first message a sitter, because the handover and the daily shape are different jobs.

Leave the sitter what they will need on the first evening: the tag and the registration paperwork from Dubai Municipality, your vet's number, the times your pet actually eats, and whether the evening walk is a turn around the block or the full trip to the JBR promenade. Put the same detail in the booking notes so the sitter has it to hand once you are away.

Petme charges Dubai pet owners 0% commission. The per-night rate you agree with your sitter is the full price, with no service fee on top. Every house sitting booking includes up to AED 83,000 in Protection Plan, and cashback is credited automatically after every completed stay.

FAQ

Common questions about house sitting in Dubai

How much does house sitting cost in Dubai?

House sitting on Petme in Dubai typically runs AED 100 to AED 250 per night, depending on the number of pets and how much house care you want on top. Petme charges 0% owner commission, so the rate you agree with your sitter is the full price.

What does a house sitter in Dubai actually do while I am away?

Feeding and fresh water on your schedule, walks at the normal times around Safa Park or Al Barsha Pond Park, an eye on the AC and the lights, plant watering and mail collection on request, and photo updates. Anything extra is scoped at the meet-and-greet before you book.

When should I book a house sitter in Dubai?

Dubai empties around the two Eid holidays and through the July to August school break, when residents leave the country for weeks rather than a long weekend, and fills again with short trips from November to March. Those windows fill first, so message sitters a few weeks out for a long trip. A weekend stay can usually be arranged in a couple of days.

How does the sitter get into my building or community in Dubai?

Marina, JLT, Business Bay and Downtown are tower addresses with a concierge desk, a visitor pass and paid basement parking. Arabian Ranches, The Springs and Mirdif are gated or low-rise, where you register at the community gate once and drive straight in. Sort the entry route at the meet-and-greet and hand over the keys, the access card or the gate registration then, so nobody is standing at a barrier on the first evening.

Which parts of Dubai do house sitters cover?

Villa and townhouse addresses in Arabian Ranches, Mirdif and The Springs, apartment addresses in Dubai Marina, Business Bay and JLT, and everywhere else in Dubai. Use the map filter in the app to find a sitter who already lives near you.

Can a house sitter work around Ramadan schedules?

Yes. Plenty of Dubai sitters keep Ramadan hours, with walks pushed back to after iftar and feeding times moved to match. Say so in your first message and confirm the timings at the meet-and-greet.

What does the AED 83,000 Protection Plan cover during house sitting?

Every confirmed Petme house sitting booking in Dubai includes up to AED 83,000 in emergency Protection Plan. If a pet in the sitter's care needs urgent treatment, eligible costs are covered. Full terms are in the Petme app.

Where do I find house sitters in Dubai?

Search Dubai on the Petme map and filter to house sitting, which leaves you the sitters who stay overnight rather than the ones who only call in. Each profile shows the ID check, the nightly rate and any reviews from past stays. Create a free account to browse, message a few and meet before you book.

What is the difference between pet sitting and house sitting?

Pet sitting is the catch-all term for someone looking after your animal. House sitting is the version where the sitter stays overnight in your home, so the pet never leaves its own space. Petme covers the pet side of it. If you want someone to watch an empty flat with no animal in it, this is not the service you are looking for.

How much does pet sitting in Dubai cost per month?

A full month of overnight stays in Dubai works out at AED 3,000 to AED 7,500, which is simply the nightly band across 30 nights. Most bookings are far shorter. If you only need someone to call in once a day rather than sleep over, a drop-in visit is billed AED 50 to AED 100 per visit instead.

I just moved to Dubai with my pet. Can I book a house sitter?

Yes. Plenty of Dubai sitters have looked after recently relocated pets settling into a new flat, a new building and a new climate. Create a free account to browse verified sitters, read reviews and message a few before you commit to a date.

Do sitters take long summer bookings of two weeks or more?

They do. Multi-week stays over the July and August break are normal here and are booked at the same per-night rate as a weekend. Fix the arrival and departure days precisely, and ask for a photo update on a set day each week so you are not chasing one from another time zone.
