Flexible, self-scheduled work

A flexible job you run around your life

Searching for flexible or work-from-home jobs in Dubai? Pet sitting is in-person work, but you control it like your own business. Boarding and daycare can run from your home, while walks and drop-ins take you to the pet, all on a schedule you set.

Work around your day job

Offer drop-ins and walks before and after work, then board or host daycare on weekends. No fixed shifts and no manager assigning you slots. Take the bookings that fit your week.

Self-employed, not a shift worker

You pick every booking, set your own AED rates, and answer to the owner, not a dispatcher. Run pet care like your own small business across Dubai and the other covered emirates.

Start as a side income, scale when ready

Start with a few drop-ins or walks a week alongside another job, then add daycare, boarding, and house sitting as your regular clients grow.

Earning and flexibility

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 per 20 to 30 minute visit, 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 83,000 Protection Plan

The Protection Plan can contribute up to AED 83,000 toward eligible vet costs. If a pet in your care needs treatment, eligible costs are covered. Free for you, free for the owner.

Why sitters choose Petme

Built for self-employed pet sitters

Typical platforms take a bigger cut of your earnings. Petme keeps 10 to 30%, adds cashback for your clients so they rebook, and protects every booking with AED 83,000 in Protection Plan.

Keep up to 90%

You set your AED rate. Petme keeps 10 to 30%, and you keep up to 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. Many active Dubai sitters build a steady base of regulars who rebook.

Common questions

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 20 to 30 minute 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. 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.

Is this remote work or a work-from-home job?

Pet sitting is in-person work, not a remote desk job. The overlap with remote and work-from-home roles is the freedom: you set your own hours, pick your own clients, and fit it around an existing job. Boarding and doggy daycare can run from your own home, so part of the work genuinely happens where you live. Drop-in visits, walks, and house sitting take you to the pet, around Dubai and the other covered emirates.

Do I need a Dubai Pet Care License?

Yes, a valid UAE trade license is required to offer pet services on Petme in Dubai. Before your first payout can be processed, you will need to upload it to Stripe as part of the compliance verification step.

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.

What if something goes wrong during a booking?

Every Petme booking includes Petme Protection, which covers veterinary expenses up to AED 83,000 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.

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 pet sitting 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 pet sitter. 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.
