Earn across every pet care service
Mix the services that fit your home and your schedule. Villa owners often run boarding and daycare. Apartment sitters lean on drop-ins and walking. House sitting fills the long stays.
AED 50 to 250 per booking
Walking AED 50 to 120 per walk, drop-ins AED 50 to 100, daycare AED 60 to 150 per day, boarding AED 80 to 200 per night, house sitting AED 100 to 250 per night. You set every rate.
Work from your villa
Villa boarding and doggy daycare turn your home into your income. Arabian Ranches, Mirdif, and Silicon Oasis have strong demand. One or two dogs at a time, AC on, normal walks.
AED 15,000 vet protection
Every confirmed booking automatically includes up to AED 15,000 in emergency vet coverage. If a pet in your care needs treatment, eligible costs are covered. Free for you, free for the owner.
Built for self-employed pet sitters
Other platforms take 20 to 40% of your earnings. Petme keeps 10 to 15%, adds cashback for your clients so they rebook, and protects every booking with AED 15,000 in vet coverage.
Keep up to 90%
You set your AED rate. Petme keeps 10 to 15%, and sitter cashback pushes your take-home toward 90% per booking. No platform-dictated pricing.
Full schedule control
Accept or decline any request. Block out summer mid-day requests, accept dawn and post-sunset windows. Set Ramadan-aware schedules.
Cashback drives repeat clients
Owners earn cashback every time they book you. That keeps them rebooking. Most active Dubai sitters report 60 to 70% repeat clients within a few months.
Pet sitting jobs in the UAE
What new sitters ask before signing up on Petme in the UAE.
How much can I earn as a pet sitter in the UAE?
Earnings depend on the services you offer. On Petme in the UAE, dog walking runs AED 50 to 120 per walk, drop-in visits AED 50 to 100 per visit, doggy daycare AED 60 to 150 per day, dog boarding AED 80 to 200 per night, and house sitting AED 100 to 250 per night. With sitter cashback you keep up to 90% of every booking.
Which services should I offer first?
Most new sitters start with drop-in visits and dog walking, then add boarding or daycare once they have a few five-star reviews. Drop-in visits in Dubai are in highest demand around Eid and summer travel, so they fill quickly.
Do I need a Dubai Pet Care License?
A formal pet sitting business license is not required to act as an individual sitter on Petme. You do need valid ID, Emirates ID for residents, and to pass our identity verification. If you operate at scale (running boarding from a villa with many dogs), check with DM Dubai about commercial requirements.
How do I handle summer with multi-dog daycare?
From May to September keep AC on continuously, refresh water frequently, and replace mid-day walks with indoor play. Verified Petme sitters host one or two dogs at a time, so the load is manageable even on 45°C days.
Are there Ramadan-aware booking patterns?
Yes. During Ramadan, evening walks shift later (after iftar) and feeding times move accordingly. Set your availability around your fasting schedule and clients will book the time slots that match.
How and when do I get paid?
Payments are processed automatically after each completed booking. Funds are transferred to your UAE bank account within 2 to 3 working days. You keep up to 90% of every booking with sitter cashback.
What if something goes wrong during a booking?
Every Petme booking includes Petme Protection, which covers veterinary expenses up to AED 15,000 in case of accidents or illness during care. Our 24/7 support team is always available to help with any issues.
Can I choose which bookings to accept?
Absolutely. You have full control over your schedule, the types of pets you care for, and which booking requests you accept. You can set preferences for pet size, species, and specific requirements.
