The Pet Sitting Co. was born out of a need for an organized, licensed company dedicated to the care of pets in their own homes in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. Attitudes towards pets and pet ownership are changing in the UAE and people are beginning to see the benefits of companion animals. We seek to help pets to be happy and healthy because we believe happy, healthy, well-adjusted pets make for happy owners. It's our mission to treat each pet under our care as if it is our own.
