What should I do with my pets when traveling from UAE?
One of the main points that people stress before you get a pet, is how traveling will become a lot harder.
No matter what your destination is, it’s not exactly easy to find pet-friendly hotels and accommodation that fits your budget, especially if you’ll be moving a lot at your destination.
Luckily, traveling has become a lot easier for pet owners! Nowadays, travelers don’t have to worry much about finding a friend who’s willing to look after their dog while they’re away as a lot of facilities are already offering that through pet sitting and pet boarding.
What’s the difference between pet sitting and pet boarding?
Pet sitting sounds a lot like babysitting as they’re pretty much the same. It’s when a ‘pet sitter’ comes over to the client’s place and takes care of the pet just like a babysitter would.
On the other hand, pet boarding is when you take your furry friend to a facility like a pet hotel or a pet daycare, where specialized professionals will take care of your pet among others.
While pet sitting seems tempting because your pet gets specialized care and doesn’t have to leave the safety of your home, it should be mentioned that it’s a lot more expensive than pet hotels. Also, a lot of people might feel uncomfortable letting a stranger into their home despite the many assurances they’re given.
If you’re traveling out of UAE, here’s a bunch of places that offer excellent boarding for your best friend:
1. Petsville
If you’re a Dubai citizen, you might’ve already heard of Petsville. It’s a luxurious dog hotel located in Al Quoz Industrial Area 3.
