How we score these sitters

Rating is the live Google average for each business. Review volume ranks how many customers have rated them against each other. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, so a 5.0 from 164 reviews reads differently than a 4.3 from over a thousand. Recency checks how current review activity is. No business can pay to change these numbers.

How much does pet sitting cost in Abu Dhabi? (2026)

None of the businesses on this page publish a fixed nightly or per-visit rate in their Google listings or reviews, and cost depends heavily on the animal, length of stay, and whether grooming or vet care is bundled in. Ask each business for a written quote before you commit to a longer booking.

Serving all of Abu Dhabi

These options span Al Khalidiyah, Al Nahyan, Al Reem Island, and Abu Dhabi Industrial City on the outskirts. A pet sitter near me search in Abu Dhabi should turn up at least one of these five within a reasonable drive, whether you want in-home visits or a boarding stay.

What to ask before booking a pet sitter

Will visits or stays include daily photo or video updates?
Is the sitting done in-home, at a facility, or both?
Is a vet on call or on site during the stay?
What’s included in the rate, and what costs extra?
How is my pet supervised outside of feeding and cleaning times?
What’s the policy if my pet needs medication or gets sick during the stay?

Frequently asked questions

Are these rankings paid?

No. Rankings come from public Google data. A business can pay to be a Featured Partner (badge and top placement), but that never changes another business’s score or position.

How did you choose these pet sitters?

We looked at businesses in Abu Dhabi offering pet sitting, boarding, and related in-home or facility care, then ranked them by real Google rating, review count, and how recently people are still reviewing them.

How often is this updated?

This page reflects Google data verified in August 2026 and is refreshed periodically as ratings and review counts change.

Is in-home sitting better than boarding?

It depends on your pet. Anxious pets often do better staying in their own home with a sitter like Crazy Pets, while social pets may enjoy a boarding facility with other animals around.

Should I choose a vet-clinic sitter over a dedicated pet hotel?

If your pet has ongoing health needs, a vet-backed option like WELLPET or Cloud9 offers on-site medical care, while a dedicated hotel like Pet Maison may offer more structured daily updates.

The bottom line

Pet Maison is the standout for longer trips thanks to its daily updates and perfect rating, even though it’s a bit further out. For flexibility around odd pickup times or in-home visits, Cloud9 and Crazy Pets are the more practical everyday choices, and either way, ask about update frequency before you book.
