1. Take the free quiz

Pass our Sitter Excellence Quiz to earn your 'Verified' badge. It covers pet safety basics, emergency handling, and responsible care. Most sitters pass on their first try — and if you don't, you can retake it anytime.

2. Set your neighbourhood radius

You decide how far you're willing to go. Keep it within 2km of your building, or expand across the city. You're the boss.

3. Get WhatsApp alerts for nearby jobs

No more refreshing job boards. We text you the moment a pet owner in your specific neighbourhood needs help.

4. Get paid automatically within 24 hours

You get paid automatically within 24 hours of job completion — straight to your UAE bank account, no action needed.

Our Story

We built Pet-First because we couldn't find a platform that actually worked for sitters in the UAE. Every existing option was either built for another country, charged unfair commissions, or left sitters completely unprotected. We're a UAE-based team and we built the platform we wished existed — one where sitters are treated as professionals, not gig workers. When you succeed on Pet-First, real pets get better care. That's why we built it.
