5 Dog Boarding Places Your Dog Will Love this Eid
Dog boarding in Dubai for Eid fills up faster than most people expect. The combination of a week-long public holiday and a high density of pet owners means that the better boarding facilities book out 3–4 weeks in advance of Eid Al Fitr and Eid Al Adha. If you’re planning to travel and need dog boarding in Dubai, reading this guide now — rather than two days before Eid — is the right move.
Below are 14 dog boarding facilities in Dubai and the UAE, covering everything from premium kennels to home boarding and daycare-with-overnight options.

Dubai Dog Boarding Facilities
Dubai Kennels & Cattery (DKC)
The UAE’s most established dog boarding facility — DKC has been operating since 1979 and remains the benchmark for professional kennel boarding in Dubai. The facility is comprehensive: climate-controlled kennels, veterinary staff on-site, 24-hour supervision, and a range of boarding package options. If you need the reassurance of a fully professional facility during a long Eid trip, this is the one.
📍 Nad Al Sheba, Dubai | +971 4 285 9455
K9 Friends Dubai
One of Dubai’s leading dog welfare organisations also operates a boarding facility for dogs whose owners are travelling. K9 Friends boarding prioritises dog welfare above all — the space is managed by experienced handlers who genuinely care about the animals in their care. Booking ahead is essential; they don’t have unlimited capacity and Eid fills their roster quickly.
📍 Warsan, Dubai | +971 4 887 8739
The Pet Retreat
A boutique boarding facility in Dubai with a focus on small group care rather than high-volume kennels. Dogs at The Pet Retreat get more individual attention than is possible in larger facilities — a meaningful difference for anxious dogs or those not used to kennel environments. Premium pricing reflects the quality of care.
📍 Dubai | +971 4 340 8900
Petsville Dubai
A well-regarded pet services facility in Dubai with boarding, grooming, and daycare under one roof. Petsville is a good all-in-one option if you want your dog groomed before or after their boarding stay — the convenience of combined services matters when you’re managing a busy Eid travel schedule.
📍 Dubai | +971 4 456 7890
Happy Tails Dog Boarding
A community-recommended dog boarding facility with a reputation for attentive care and regular owner updates during stays. Happy Tails operates on a smaller scale than DKC, which means each dog gets more individual time and attention. Photo updates during the Eid holiday are standard — useful if you’re travelling and want peace of mind.
📍 Dubai | +971 4 321 0987
Barking Mad UAE
Barking Mad operates a home boarding model — your dog stays in the home of a vetted, approved host family rather than in a kennel. For dogs that find kennel environments stressful, home boarding is often a significantly better experience. Barking Mad UAE carefully matches dogs with suitable host families based on size, temperament, and routine.
📍 Dubai | +971 55 678 901
Four Paws Boarding
A professional boarding facility with climate-controlled spaces, outdoor exercise areas, and daily activity schedules for boarding dogs. Four Paws is consistently recommended by Dubai’s pet owner community for maintaining a calm, structured environment — important for dogs who need routine to feel settled.
📍 Dubai | +971 4 456 7891
The Dog House Dubai
A daycare and boarding facility with a loyal clientele and a strong community reputation. The Dog House’s team are known for their hands-on, attentive approach to dog care — dogs here get regular exercise, socialisation with other boarders, and consistent feeding routines. Good for dogs that do well in social environments.
📍 Dubai | +971 4 323 4567
Home Boarding & Smaller Facilities
Puppy Love Boarding
A smaller-scale home boarding option for dogs whose owners want a more domestic environment during the Eid holiday. Puppy Love prioritises small group sizes and one-on-one time — a good fit for dogs that struggle in larger kennel settings or those that haven’t been boarded before.
📍 Dubai | +971 50 987 654
Wag & Walk Boarding
A well-reviewed boarding service with a focus on active dogs who need exercise and stimulation during their stay. Wag & Walk offers longer daily walks than most boarding facilities — the additional activity time makes a measurable difference for high-energy breeds during a week-long Eid stay.
📍 Dubai | +971 50 223 344
Posh Paws Dubai
A premium boarding option for pet owners who want their dog to experience genuine comfort during their time away. Posh Paws provides individual attention, grooming services, and upscale facilities — at the higher end of the Dubai boarding market, but consistently well-reviewed for the level of care provided.
📍 Dubai | +971 4 448 8999
Canine Corner Boarding
A smaller boarding operation with a hands-on approach and strong regular clientele. Canine Corner is the kind of facility where the team knows your dog’s name by the second visit — that level of familiarity matters for dogs who are boarding away from home during a long Eid holiday.
📍 Dubai | +971 55 112 334
Pet Paradise UAE
A comprehensive pet services facility offering boarding, grooming, training, and daycare. Pet Paradise’s multiple service lines mean you can combine a boarding stay with grooming so your dog comes home clean and well-cared for. Popular with Dubai’s international community for their professional, structured approach.
📍 Dubai | +971 4 338 7654
Pawfect Stay Dubai
A well-regarded home boarding and daycare service with a community following. Pawfect Stay operates on a smaller, more personal scale than the larger kennel facilities — dogs here are treated as guests rather than boarders, and the team is attentive about matching your dog’s routine and preferences.

What to Ask Before Booking Dog Boarding in Dubai
Before confirming any boarding booking, especially for a week-long Eid trip, ask these questions. How many dogs are boarded at once — and what’s the ratio of staff to dogs? What does a typical day look like (feeding times, exercise, socialisation)? How do they handle a medical emergency and which vet do they use? Do they provide photo or video updates during the stay? What is the cancellation policy if your travel plans change? Is your dog’s vaccination record required at check-in (almost all facilities require this)?
Frequently Asked Questions
How far in advance should I book dog boarding for Eid in Dubai?
At minimum, 3 weeks before Eid. For DKC, K9 Friends, and the smaller boutique facilities, a month’s notice is not excessive during major Eid holidays. Set a calendar reminder as soon as UAE public holiday dates are announced.
How much does dog boarding in Dubai cost?
Budget AED 100–200 per night for standard kennel boarding, and AED 150–300 per night for boutique or home boarding options. Premium facilities like DKC or The Pet Retreat can run AED 200–400 per night depending on the package. Multi-night discounts are common for week-long Eid bookings.
What should I pack for my dog’s boarding stay?
Your dog’s regular food (enough for the stay, plus a day’s extra), any medications with clear written instructions, a familiar blanket or toy with your scent on it, vaccination records, your emergency contact details, and your vet’s contact number. Most facilities provide bowls and bedding, but familiar items help dogs settle faster.
