Meet the Humans of Fetch
Caring for dogs starts with caring for the people who care for them.
Behind every calm introduction, every tail wag, every successful enrichment session—there’s a human making it happen. At Fetch Dubai, we don’t just hire warm bodies. We build a team of qualified, compassionate, and continuously trained professionals who understand dogs and the responsibility that comes with working in their space.
Not Your Average Industry Gig
The truth is, the pet care industry doesn’t always do right by its people. Underpaid, undertrained, and overworked—too many dog handlers and carers burn out or, worse, never get the opportunity to grow or live relatively comfortably. We do not think that’s good enough. For the dogs. Or the humans. We are actively working towards, with the help and contributions made by our clients by choosing us as their service provider, to constantly enhancing our offering to our staff.
💡 Ongoing Education Our team doesn’t stop learning once they’ve been hired. Every single week, we dedicate time to internal training sessions—diving deep into canine behaviour, enrichment techniques, handling skills, safety protocols, and relationship-building practices. When you see a Fetch team member in action, you’re seeing someone who’s educated, supported, and up-to-date.
💰 Livable Wages We believe caring for dogs is a skilled profession—so we treat it like one. Our staff packages are intentionally above market average because we expect more from our team and they deserve to be paid fairly for it. You wouldn’t hand your child to the lowest bidder—so why your dog?
🔁 Low Turnover, High Trust In an industry known for high staff turnover, our team sticks around. Why? A respectful work environment mean our people rarely leave—and that’s by design. Because we build careers, not just roles. When you see familiar faces at drop-off, it’s not a coincidence—it’s the result of a workplace where people are actually happy to come in every day. That consistency matters. For your dog. For our team. For everyone.
What Makes the Fetch Crew Different?
🛡️ Safety First Dog care is physical, and it can be unpredictable. We take our staff's physical and emotional safety seriously. From limiting dog-to-human ratios to selecting dogs that are actually a fit for our space (no, we’re not a “just drop them off” place), we’ve built policies that put safety first—for everyone.
💬 Real Respect At Fetch, our team has a voice. We listen to concerns. We take mental health seriously. And we never treat staff as disposable. That kind of culture shows up in how dogs are handled, how care is given, and how smoothly your dog’s day runs.
💤 Time to Recharge Dog care doesn’t happen in a quiet office. It’s physical, emotional, and demands full presence. That’s why our team gets two days off a week—something almost unheard of in this industry, where one day off is still the unfortunate standard. Why do we do it? Because we know rest isn’t optional if you want someone to show up at their best—especially when their job is caring for animals that rely on calm, confident energy. Tired, stretched-thin staff might be normal elsewhere. But we’re not interested in normal.
Why This Should Matter to You
Most pet parents know to ask about vaccines, schedules, or whether the facility has cameras. But fewer think to ask:
Who’s actually looking after my dog? And how are they being treated?
Truth is, it matters. You can have the best policies in the world, but if the people implementing them are underpaid, undertrained, or overstretched, it falls apart. When we invest in our people, your dog benefits—plain and simple.
