Corporate Pet Relocation Dubai
When your employees move, their pets move too. We coordinate the pet side of corporate relocations to and from Dubai — one point of contact, quote-only per-employee pricing, and the paperwork handled.
Pets Are Part of the Relocation Decision
For many of the people your organisation relocates, a pet is family. When an assignment to Dubai means leaving a dog or cat behind — or facing a confusing import process alone — it becomes one more reason for a candidate to hesitate or a placement to wobble. Folding pet relocation into the mobility package removes that friction and signals that the move has been thought through end to end.
The challenge for HR and mobility teams is that pet relocation sits outside the usual scope. It involves government permits, accredited veterinarians, IATA-compliant air cargo, and customs clearance — a chain of specialists that does not map neatly onto a standard relocation vendor. That is the gap we fill: we run the pet side so your team and your employee do not have to learn it.
Single point of contact
One coordinator manages every move under your account, so your team is not chasing five different providers per employee.
Document handling
We prepare and check the MOCCAE permit, microchip, vaccination, and health-certificate paperwork for each pet before it travels.
Transparent per-employee pricing
Each move is quoted as a clear, itemized figure so it can be approved, expensed, or built into a relocation package.
Multi-pet & family support
Families relocating with more than one pet are handled per household, with permits mapped correctly across family members.
What HR and Mobility Managers Get
A corporate account is built around the realities of managing relocations at scale: predictable communication, paperwork you can trust, and pricing you can defend in a budget review. Here is what that looks like in practice.
A single coordinator, not a phone tree
One point of contact owns every move under your account. Your relocating employee deals with the same coordinator from first enquiry to arrival, and your HR or mobility team has one person to ask for a status update — rather than managing the vet, the cargo handler, the crate supplier, and the customs agent separately for each case.
Document handling, checked before travel
We prepare and error-check the documents each pet needs: the MOCCAE import permit (AED 200 per animal), the ISO microchip certificate, rabies and core vaccination records, and the international health certificate. Every document must carry the same microchip number — a mismatch is an automatic rejection at customs, so we verify it before your employee's pet ever boards.
Transparent per-employee pricing
Each move is quoted individually and itemized: government fees, veterinary costs, the IATA crate, air cargo, and the coordination fee. Because the figure is broken down line by line, it can be approved, expensed, or written into a relocation allowance without a back-and-forth over what is and is not included.
Multi-pet and family support
We handle households relocating with more than one pet. Because the MOCCAE permit is issued per animal and the UAE caps imports at two pets per person per year, multi-pet families sometimes need permits arranged across family members. We map this out per household at the quoting stage so it is resolved on paper, not at the cargo terminal.
Per-employee reporting and status visibility
We keep documentation organised per employee and provide status updates and a cost breakdown for each move, so HR and mobility managers can see which employees are in progress, what stage each move has reached, and what each one costs. That makes it straightforward to track the pet element of a relocation against the wider mobility budget and timeline.
Coordination Tiers You Can Map to Your Policy
The coordination fee sits on top of the unavoidable government, veterinary, crate, and cargo costs. We publish three tiers so you can align the level of service with your relocation policy — a baseline allowance for some grades, a fuller coordination level for senior or executive moves. The figures below are the coordination fee only; the full per-employee quote adds the route-specific costs.
| Tier | Coordination Fee (AED) | What's Included | Typical Fit |
|---|---|---|---|
| PawPilot (Essential) | 1,500–2,500 | Documentation, MOCCAE permit application, flight booking, basic email/WhatsApp support | Standard relocation allowance, low-risk routes, organised owners |
| PawPartner (Premium) | 3,000–5,000 | + Door-to-door pickup and delivery, IATA crate, vet coordination, WhatsApp updates during the move, photo updates | Most corporate moves — hands-off for the employee |
| PawVIP (Coordination) | 5,000–8,000 | + Personal handler assigned, real-time tracking, video updates at every checkpoint, comprehensive travel insurance, priority rebooking if flights change | Senior and executive relocations |
These are the same published tiers we offer every client — there is no inflated corporate markup. What a corporate account adds is the single point of contact across multiple moves and per-employee reporting.

How It Fits Employee Relocations To and From Dubai
Corporate mobility runs in every direction — bringing talent into Dubai, sending it out on assignment, and moving people between international offices. We coordinate the pet side of each, with the specific requirements that direction demands.
Relocating employees to Dubai
For inbound assignments, the pet move centres on the MOCCAE import permit and the UAE entry rules — microchip, rabies and core vaccinations, health certificate, and, for high-risk origin countries, a rabies titer test with a 90-day wait. We sync the pet timeline with the employee's start date so the pet is not left grounded after the family has already arrived.
Pet relocation to DubaiRelocating employees from Dubai
When an employee leaves Dubai for another posting, the move involves the MOCCAE export permit plus the destination country's own import requirements, which vary widely. We coordinate the UAE-side paperwork and the outbound logistics so the pet's departure tracks with the rest of the employee's offboarding.
Pet relocation from DubaiInternational moves via Dubai
For transfers between international offices — or moves that route through the UAE — we coordinate international pet relocation end to end, matching each country's rules to the journey. This suits global mobility programmes where Dubai is one node in a wider network of postings.
International pet relocationHow We Work With Your Mobility Team
The process is deliberately light on your side. You introduce the move; we run the pet relocation and keep you informed. A typical engagement looks like this.
Introduce the move
Your HR or mobility manager sends us the basics: the employee, the route (to or from Dubai), the pet type and size, the rough timeline, and the policy tier you want to apply. One message is enough to start.
Receive a per-employee quote
We return an itemized quote for that move — government fees, veterinary costs, crate, cargo, and coordination tier — so it can be approved or built into the relocation package before anything starts.
We coordinate directly with the employee
Once approved, the assigned coordinator works directly with the relocating employee on documents, vet appointments, crate sizing, and flight booking — taking the day-to-day load off your team while keeping you in the loop.
Status updates through to arrival
We provide status updates per move and confirm completion on arrival and clearance. Documentation is kept organised per employee, so reconciling the pet element against the mobility budget is straightforward.
Honest scope: We are a pet relocation coordination service that coordinates vetted partners — veterinarians, cargo handlers, and ground transport teams. We do not own an airline, and the rules are set by MOCCAE and the relevant authorities, not by us. Government fees and entry requirements are fixed and apply to every provider equally. Each employee's quote reflects live figures for their route and dates.
