- For cats, look for cat-only or cageless boarding to reduce stress
- Tour the facility in person — webcams, climate control and bright kennels are good signs
Frequently asked questions
How much does dog boarding cost per night in Dubai?
Dog boarding in Dubai typically ranges from about AED 80–200 per night depending on the facility, room type, and add-ons like walks, grooming or one-on-one care. Villa-style and cageless resorts sit at the higher end. Cat boarding is usually a little cheaper. Check each listing below for current rates.
How much is cat boarding in Dubai?
Cat boarding generally runs from around AED 50–120 per night, with cat-only and cageless 'cattery' stays costing a bit more. Many facilities offer quieter, cat-dedicated rooms — filter the listings and ask about cat-only spaces.
What's the difference between a pet hotel, boarding and daycare?
Boarding and pet hotels are overnight stays while you travel; daycare is drop-off during the day (ideal for working owners) with pickup in the evening. Many Dubai facilities offer all three — check each listing for half-day, full-day and overnight options.
What vaccinations does my pet need for boarding in Dubai?
Most facilities require up-to-date rabies and core vaccinations, and often kennel cough (bordetella) for dogs. Confirm requirements and bring your pet's records before drop-off — a shareable pet passport on OnePass Pet makes this easy.
How do I find last-minute dog boarding in Dubai?
