5 Best Cat Boarding Services in Dubai (2026)

Independently ranked by our review of ratings, reviews and reputation · How we chose

By Fenris Morrow, Expert in Professional Services · ✓ Data verified August 2026 · 8 min read

Leaving a cat behind for a Dubai summer trip means finding somewhere that treats a cattery as seriously as a kennel, since cats do not settle the way dogs do. Dubai's top-rated cat boarding names have racked up nearly 1,900 Google reviews between them, and the ratings run from 4.3 up to a perfect 5.0, so the gap between the average option and the best one is bigger than it looks on a search results page.

Short answer: PeTiPaws Grooming & Boarding holds the highest score on this page, a perfect 5.0 across 203 reviews, thanks to its small, cage-free cat and dog areas. Dubai Kennels & Cattery (DKC) is the specialist choice with dedicated catios and an on-site vet, rated 4.6 across 454 reviews. Expect boarding costs to vary by cattery size and length of stay; none of the businesses here publish a fixed nightly rate.

Pet Corner Dubai- Sheikh Zayed Road

4.3746 Google reviews

Pet Corner is a large UAE pet supply chain with more than 20 stores, selling food, litter, carriers and accessories, and it lists cat and rabbit stock on site alongside its retail range. Its Sheikh Zayed Road branch is primarily a shop, not a dedicated boarding facility, and its own site markets fast delivery and a wide product catalogue rather than overnight cat care.

What people praise

  • Huge product range for cat owners, from litter to carriers
  • Multiple UAE branches and same-day delivery
  • Praised for grooming add-ons by some reviewers

Worth knowing

  • Recent reviews raise serious concerns about live-animal welfare and cage cleanliness in-store
  • Not primarily a boarding or cattery operation, so confirm exactly what overnight care involves before booking

Our take: This is a retail pet store first, and recent reviews describing the condition of animals on site are a real concern worth reading in full before you consider it for anything beyond supplies. For actual cat boarding, the dedicated catteries further down this list are a safer starting point.

Our take: The highest rating on this page, and the cage-free setup is the detail that keeps coming up in reviews from cat owners specifically. A strong pick if a small, calm environment matters more than sheer scale.

  • Cats and dogs are housed on separate floors
  • Daily video updates during a stay

Our take: The scale and history here are real, with capacity for 200 cats and a track record going back to 2006. Most reviews are strongly positive, though it's worth asking directly about health monitoring for stays longer than a couple of weeks.

How we rank these listings

Every number on this page comes from public Google data as of the verified date below, not from opinion or payment. Rating is each business’s live Google star average. Review volume shows how many customers have actually rated them, measured against other Dubai cat-boarding options. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, so a 5.0 from 200 reviews carries more weight than a 5.0 from a dozen. Recency reflects how recently people are still leaving reviews. No business can pay to change these numbers.

How much does cat boarding cost in Dubai? (2026)

None of the businesses on this page publish a fixed public rate card for cat boarding, and pricing varies by cattery size, stay length, and whether grooming or vet visits are bundled in. The clearest way to get an accurate figure is to ask each facility directly for its current nightly or weekly cattery rate, since seasonal demand around school holidays can push prices up.

Cat boarding across Dubai

These cat boarding options are spread across Dubai, from Umm Ramool and Al Quoz to Jumeirah Lake Towers and Al Jafiliya, so most owners will find one within a reasonable drive regardless of which side of the city they live on. Searching for cat boarding near me? Every listing below includes a live phone number and address so you can check exact travel time before you book.

What to ask before boarding your cat

  • Is the cat area separate from the dogs, and is it cage-free?
  • Is there an on-site vet, or a vet on call for emergencies?
  • How often will I get photo or video updates during the stay?
  • What is the cancellation and peak-season booking policy?
  • Will my cat be checked over on arrival and departure?
  • Is outdoor or supervised play time included in the stay?

Frequently asked questions

How did you choose these cat boarding businesses?

We started from Dubai cat boarding and pet care businesses with a public Google presence, then ranked by rating, review volume, consistency, and recency. See How we rank above.

Are these rankings paid?

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

How often is this updated?

The data carries a verified date (August 2026 on this page). We refresh listings periodically so ratings and review counts stay current.

Do these facilities also board dogs?

Most of them do. Dubai Kennels & Cattery, Pawsome Friends, PeTiPaws and Churchwoods all board both cats and dogs, usually in separate areas.

Should I visit the facility before booking?

It’s worth it if you can, especially the first time. Ask to see the actual cattery area, not just reception, and confirm whether cats are kept in cages or an open room.

The bottom line

For most Dubai cat owners, Dubai Kennels & Cattery is the safest default thanks to its on-site vet and dedicated cattery setup, while PeTiPaws is worth a look if a smaller, cage-free environment matters more to you. Either way, ask to see the actual boarding area before you commit.
