Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about finding a trusted pet sitter in United Arab Emirates.

How much do pet sitters cost in the UAE?

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.

Are Petme sitters in the UAE verified?

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.

How do sitters handle the summer heat?

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.

Is in-home boarding better than a kennel in the UAE?

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.

I just moved to the UAE with my pet. Can I find a sitter?

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.

Which cities does Petme cover in the UAE?

Petme covers Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Sharjah, with the deepest sitter coverage across Dubai neighborhoods like Dubai Marina, JVC, Downtown Dubai, Arabian Ranches, and Mirdif. Use the map filter in the app to find a sitter near your address.

What counts as at-home pet care in the UAE?

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.

What do pet care services in the UAE actually include?

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.
