Another dog-friendly area, Jumeirah Golf Estates has lovely villas with their own garden & pool which makes it the perfect place for your resident dogs or cats to have a lie out in the sun. The area has a lot of greenery around thanks to the golf-course and plenty of dog and cat owners around.

3. Al Barari

Al Barari is another area which is extremely pet friendly. With so much lush greenery and water features around, it becomes its very own habitat that's conducive to having pets. While its resident restaurant The Farm doesn't allow pets, the cool and edgy member-only workspace called NASAB allows you to take your pet while going into work following an orientation process for dogs to ensure they are well-trained and socialised. Owners are also asked to bring their own necessities, such as water and food, but that's an easy oversight in comparison to access to your animal buddy by your side, especially in terms of stress relief and companionship. 

4. Emirates Living

A very established and popular area for pet-owners, the Emirates Living area which consists of the areas of Emirates Hills, The Lakes, The Meadows, The Springs, The Views and The Greens. The presence of several green spots make this area an amazing place to have pets. The Reform Grill allows dogs on the terrace and there are cafes such as Arrows & Sparrows and Bert's which allow dogs. Zabeel House in The Greens also allows dogs, and there are spots at the Emirates Golf Club that allow dogs in outdoor spaces. Villas in Emirates Hills, The Lakes & Meadows have ample garden spaces for the dogs or cats to bask in the sun and run around.

5. Arabian Ranches

• Palm Jumeirah Ready

  Garden Homes AED 1,300,000 per year
