Dog walking in the United Arab Emirates

Updated 4 November 2026

A dog walk in the United Arab Emirates costs about AED 85–120 for 30 to 60 minutes, and a 2-hour walk about AED 200–280. These are approximate prices, according to sellers' websites, November 2026. For a quote for your own dog, create a request on BlaBlaPrice.

Local rules and what to check

Walking dogs for money is a business in the UAE. Guides for pet services say a commercial pet-service licence can cost from AED 10,000 to AED 18,000 a year, so ask any walker whether they work as a registered business. Job listings for walkers also mention a pet-safety knowledge test that must be passed with at least 70%, so ask whether the walker has passed it.

Season and heat

The climate is desert: summers from May to September are very hot, so walks move to early morning or after sunset, and midday pavements are too hot for a dog's paws. The winter from November to March is mild, which makes it the easiest time to set up a regular walking schedule before the summer heat returns.

How walks are bought here

Prices are quoted per walk and per package. Sellers' price lists show 14 walks for AED 1,150 and 30 walks for AED 2,390, which is about 5–8% less than single walks. A weekly plan of five walks for one dog is listed at AED 175–220. Prices depend on the district, so give yours in the request, together with the city: Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman or Al Ain.

What to write in your request

Name the days and times you need, the walk length in minutes, and your dog's breed, weight and temperament. Add the district, whether the walker needs keys or a building access code, any extras such as feeding or a photo update, and your budget per walk. The more of these details you give, the closer the first offer will be to what you need.

On BlaBlaPrice you describe the walk in your own words in a chat, and you can add a photo of your dog. The AI reads your request, asks for anything missing and looks through sellers' websites and price lists in the UAE, then shows the prices and businesses it found. Registered sellers reply in the chat with their own offer: price and terms. Your contacts stay hidden, and you decide with whom to exchange them. It is free for buyers.
