Frequently asked questions
How much does pet sitting or boarding cost?
Doggy daycare is a per-day rate, kennel/boarding is per night, and in-home overnight sitting costs the most because the sitter stays with or visits your pet. Prices rise for larger dogs, multiple pets, holidays and special-needs animals.
Do pet boarders and sitters need a licence?
It varies. Some countries license home boarding, daycare and commercial kennels with inspections and star ratings; elsewhere it's unregulated and insurance plus references are the trust signal. Always check what applies where you live before assuming a sitter is vetted.
How do I find a trustworthy pet sitter in Dubai?
In Dubai, ask your vet and local pet groups, check platform reviews, then do a meet-and-greet and a short trial stay before a long booking. Insurance, references and a calm rapport with your pet matter more than the lowest nightly rate.
What should I ask a pet sitter or boarder before booking?
Ask about insurance, licensing where it applies, how many animals they take, their emergency-vet plan, whether dogs are ever left unsupervised, vaccination requirements, and ask for references or reviews. A meet-and-greet before booking is standard.
What happens if my pet gets sick while I'm away?
A professional sitter or boarder has your vet's details, written authority to seek treatment up to an agreed limit, insurance, and an emergency contact plan. Confirm all of this in writing before you travel — verbal assurances aren't enough.
What does dog boarding cost in the UAE?
Kennel boarding typically runs AED 70-180 a night, in-home overnight sitting AED 120-300, and daycare AED 50-120 a day.
