When you’re stuck at work or heading out of town, your dog still needs someone to take care of them. That’s what we do at Dubai Pet Care. We provide professional dog sitting and walking services across Dubai, coming to your house to look after your dog, take them for walks, and make sure they’re doing okay.
The difference between us and a boarding kennel? Your dog stays home. They sleep in their own bed, eat their regular food, and don’t have to deal with dozens of other barking dogs. We’ve been providing dog sitting services in Dubai for years, and most of our clients come from referrals because their friends’ dogs are happy.
What Dog Sitting in Dubai Actually Means
Dog sitting is when we take care of your dog at your place instead of you dropping them somewhere. You go to work, take a trip, whatever you need to do. We handle the rest.
We feed them when they normally eat. Take them out for bathroom breaks. Play with them if they want to play. Give them their medicine if they need it. Pretty straightforward.
The main thing is your dog doesn’t have to go anywhere strange. They stay where they’re comfortable. No new smells, no weird routines, no stress about where their owner went. Just normal life with a different person stopping by.
We send you photos during visits because most people worry about their dogs when they’re away. You can see they’re fine and stop checking your phone every ten minutes.
Let's Meet Your Dog!
We’d love to come meet you and your pup. It’s free, no pressure, just a friendly chat about what your dog needs.
Professional Dog Walking Service in Dubai's Heat
Dubai gets incredibly hot during summer. Like, dangerously hot for dogs. So our dog walkers don’t walk them in the middle of the day. That would be stupid and unsafe.
We come early morning or after the sun goes down. Usually between 6-8am or after 6pm. That’s when the pavement isn’t scorching and your dog can actually enjoy the walk instead of suffering through it.
How long do we walk? Depends on your dog. Small dogs or older ones usually do fine with 20-30 minutes. Medium dogs might need 45 minutes. Big dogs with lots of energy, especially breeds like German Shepherds or Huskies, sometimes need the full hour.
We bring water because even in the evening it’s still Dubai. We bring poop bags and actually use them. And we bring treats for when your dog does something good, like not pulling on the leash for five seconds straight.
Why dogs need regular walks:
Exercise keeps them healthy. That’s obvious. The American Kennel Club (AKC) explains that each breed has unique exercise needs depending on age and energy levels. But it’s also how dogs experience the world. They sniff everything, mark their territory, figure out what other dogs have been around. For them, a walk is like scrolling through social media and going to the gym at the same time.
Dogs who don’t get walked enough become problems at home. They chew things they shouldn’t. They bark at nothing. They drive you crazy because they’re bored and have too much energy. A good walk fixes most of that.
In Dubai specifically, many dogs don’t get walked enough because their owners work during the cool hours and can’t take them out during lunch when it’s 45 degrees outside. That’s exactly why professional dog walking services exist here.
Boarding kennels work for some dogs. But most dogs hate them.
Think about it from their perspective. You drop them somewhere that smells wrong, sounds wrong, and has a bunch of strange dogs barking constantly. They don’t know where you went. They don’t know if you’re coming back. They’re just stuck there waiting and wondering.
Some dogs come home from boarding and act weird for days. They won’t eat right away. They follow you everywhere. A few get sick from stress or pick something up from other dogs.
With us, none of that happens. Your dog wakes up in their own bed. They eat from their own bowl. They go for walks in their neighborhood where everything smells familiar. The only difference is someone else is there instead of you.
We had one client whose dog got so stressed at boarding facilities that she stopped eating for three days. The owner felt terrible. When they switched to us, the dog was completely fine. Didn’t even seem bothered that the owner was gone.
That’s the whole point. Your dog shouldn’t have to suffer just because you need to be somewhere.
Every dog is different. Some are wild and never stop moving. Some are lazy and just want to sleep. Some are friendly with everyone. Some are nervous around new people.
Our experienced dog sitters and walkers in Dubai adjust to whatever your dog is like.
Got a puppy? They need bathroom breaks constantly because they can’t hold it very long. They also want to play all the time and put everything in their mouth. We know how to handle that energy level without getting annoyed.
Got an older dog? We take things slow. Short walks. Gentle handling. Sometimes older dogs need help getting up or going down stairs. We’re patient with that.
Big strong dogs who pull on the leash? We can manage them. Small nervous dogs who shake when strangers come near? We’re calm and careful until they relax.
The point is we don’t treat every dog the same because they’re not all the same. A Husky needs different care than a Pug. A rescue dog with anxiety needs different handling than a confident Golden Retriever.
Dubai Pet Care provides professional dog sitting and walking services across Dubai’s main residential areas. We serve Marina, JVC, Arabian Ranches, The Greens, Business Bay, Downtown, JLT, Dubai Hills, and Palm Jumeirah — the neighborhoods where people actually live with dogs.
Each area offers different walking environments. Marina has nice paths by the water but gets crowded with joggers. Arabian Ranches has quiet streets with actual space. JVC has some decent parks where dogs can socialize if they’re into that.
Business Bay is mostly high-rises, so walks are quick neighborhood loops. Downtown is similar but busier. The Greens and Meadows have good tree cover, which helps in summer.
If you’re somewhere else in Dubai and wondering if our dog sitting or walking service covers your area, just ask. We probably do.
How Our Dog Sitting Service Works
First, we come meet you and your dog. No charge for this. We just want to see if we’re a good fit and if your dog is okay with us. Some dogs warm up immediately. Others need a few minutes. That’s normal.
We talk about what you need. Maybe you work long hours and need daily walks. Maybe you’re going on vacation and need someone to stay over. Maybe you just need weekend help. Whatever it is, we figure out a schedule.
You give us a key or the door code to get in. We keep it secure. Nobody else gets it. When you don’t need us anymore, you can ask for it back or change your code.
Then we start showing up when we’re supposed to. We take care of your dog. We send you updates. You don’t have to worry about whether they’re okay.

Personalized Care
Your dog stays in their own home where everything is familiar. No stress from new places, no confusion about where you went. They keep their normal routine while getting care that fits their specific personality and needs.
Customized Exercise
We match walks and playtime to your dog’s age, breed, and energy level. A senior Pug gets different exercise than a young German Shepherd. We adjust for Dubai’s heat too, walking during cooler hours when it’s actually safe for your dog.
Safety and Health Monitoring
Our team knows basic first aid for dogs. We watch for any health issues during visits. If your dog needs medicine, we handle it. If something seems off, we notice it and contact you immediately. Your dog’s wellbeing comes first.
One-on-One Attention
Our dog sitters and walkers focus completely on your dog. No sharing attention with twenty other barking dogs like at boarding facilities. Your dog gets the full focus they deserve during every visit and walk.
Reduced Stress
Dogs do better at home. Period. They sleep in their own bed, eat their regular food, and follow their usual schedule. Regular visits from the same familiar person means your dog stays calm instead of anxious about where their owner disappeared to.
Flexibility and Peace of Mind
Need us at specific times? Done. Want daily photo updates? We send them. Last minute travel plans? We try to accommodate. You stay connected to what’s happening with your dog, and you don’t spend the whole trip worrying.
Dog Sitting & Walking Service Areas Across Dubai

Dubai Creek Harbour
Waterfront area with good walking paths. Most residents here live in high-rises, and their dogs need regular walks since there's limited yard space. We handle the logistics of apartment dog care.
Business Bay
This area is all professionals working long hours. Your dog sits home all day waiting for you. We come by for midday walks so they get exercise and bathroom breaks instead of holding it for 10+ hours.
DIFC
Financial district residents keep demanding schedules. We work around your hours, whether that's early morning walks before work or evening care when you're stuck at the office late.
Barsha
Family neighborhoods mean family dogs. Sometimes multiple dogs in one house. Kids, pets, busy schedules. We provide reliable care that works for the whole household, not just one dog.
The Greens
Quieter community with actual trees and shade. Good walking environment for dogs who prefer peaceful routes over busy streets. We match our approach to the calm atmosphere here.

Marina residents deal with high-rise living and crowded walking areas. We're experienced with navigating busy paths, elevators, and the specific challenges of marina apartment life with dogs.
JVC
Popular residential area with decent parks where dogs can socialize. We know which parks are good for different dog temperaments and when they're less crowded.
JLT
Tower living with lake views. Our team knows emergency procedures for high-rise buildings and handles the specific needs of apartment dogs efficiently.

Dubai Hills
Upscale community with excellent walking trails and parks. Perfect for active dogs who need longer walks. We take advantage of the green spaces this area offers.

City center living presents unique challenges. More urban environment, busier streets, less green space. Our experienced dog walkers handle downtown conditions well and find good routes for your dog.
What Our Customers Say
Frequently Asked Questions
Depends on what you need. Dog sitting costs different than walking. Daily service costs different than occasional. Just contact us and we’ll give you actual numbers based on your situation.
Probably. We’ve walked Great Danes, Rottweilers, German Shepherds, all the big breeds. If your dog is strong but not aggressive, we’re fine.
That’s pretty common. Most “aggressive” dogs are just protective or scared. We take time to let them get used to us. Usually works out fine. If it doesn’t, we’ll tell you honestly instead of forcing something that’s not working.
Yes. Dogs need care on Saturday and Sunday too.
We try to keep it consistent. Dogs do better when they recognize the person showing up. Sometimes schedules require switching, but we keep that minimal.
We call you immediately. We also have your vet’s contact information in case we need it. Our team knows basic first aid for dogs, so we’re not helpless in an emergency.
