Booking & payment

How do I book?

Tap "Book a stay", choose a package and your dates, tell us about your pet, upload the papers and sign. It takes about 5 minutes on your phone.

How can I pay?

Online by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay, with Ziina, by bank transfer before drop-off, or in cash when you drop off your pet or hand them to our driver.

Will I get a receipt?

Yes. You get a receipt on screen straight after booking, and a copy by email and WhatsApp. Cash payments get a receipt on the spot.

Do I pay the full amount?

Yes, the full stay is paid upfront: online when you book, by bank transfer before drop-off, or in cash at drop-off.

Can I cancel?

Bookings are non-refundable if you cancel, don't arrive or collect early. If we can't accept your pet, you get a full refund.

Can I change my dates?

Message us on WhatsApp. If there's space we'll move your booking; any extra nights are charged at the normal price.

How does refer a friend work?

Share your code with a friend. When they book their first stay, your pet gets one free night on your next booking.

Drop-off & pick-up

Do you pick up my pet?

Yes. Our cool, safe van collects from your door and brings your pet home. Zone 1 is AED 50 each way, Zone 2 AED 75, Zone 3 AED 100. Drop-off at the farm is free.

What time can I drop off and collect?

Every day, 10am to 8pm, weekends included. Pick-up must be by 8pm on your pick-up date.

What happens if I collect late?

Each late day costs the nightly price plus a AED 50 late fee. Please message us if your plans change so we can extend the stay. If a pet is not collected and we can't reach you for 7 days, we must inform Dubai Municipality and the police.

Can someone else collect my pet?

Yes, if you name them when you book. They need to show their ID.

Your pet's stay

Which animals do you take?

Cats, dogs, birds and small pets like rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters and tortoises. For any other animal, message us and we'll send a quote.

What will my pet eat?

Feeding is included in the nightly price: we feed your pet at their usual times. Bring their own food for free so their tummy stays happy, or use Ark Farm food for a small daily charge: AED 5 for birds and small pets, AED 10 for cats and small dogs, AED 15 for big dogs. Special diets and raw food: please bring your own.

What should I bring?

Food, any medicine, and a favourite blanket or toy that smells of home. We have beds, bowls and litter.

Is it cool enough in summer?

Yes. Pets rest in air-conditioned rooms, and outdoor play is in the cooler morning and evening hours.

Are dogs mixed together?

Only friendly dogs of a similar size play together, always with our team watching. Cats, birds and small pets have their own quiet areas.

Is someone there at night?

Yes, a team member stays on the farm overnight.

How do I get updates?

Ask us on WhatsApp whenever you'd like a photo of your pet and we'll send one.

Can I visit?

Yes, any time of day, and it's free. Message us on WhatsApp so someone is ready to show you around, before you book or during your pet's stay.

Health & safety

What vaccines does my pet need?

Dogs: rabies and DHPP, plus kennel cough. Cats: rabies and the core cat vaccine. Vaccines must still be valid on your pick-up date. Ask your vet if you're not sure.

Do I need pet insurance?

It's recommended, not required. Insurance helps your pet get the best vet care quickly. Without it, any vet costs are paid by you.

What if my pet gets sick?

We call you straight away and take your pet to our partner vet. Treatment costs go to you or your insurance.

Do you take puppies, kittens or older pets?

Yes, once puppies and kittens have finished their vaccines. Older pets and pets on medicine are welcome; tell us what they need.

Are any dog breeds not accepted?

We follow UAE law, so breeds banned in the UAE can't stay with us.

Why do you ask for my ID?

To confirm who owns the pet and who can collect them. It's stored securely and deleted 90 days after checkout.

Going away soon?

Book in about 5 minutes, or message us and we'll help.
