What are the best pet-friendly apartments in Dubai for newcomers?

Dubai has several pet-friendly apartments that welcome furry friends. Areas like Dubai Marina and Jumeirah Village Circle (JVC) are popular among expats and often have policies allowing pets with a refundable deposit of around AED 2,000 to AED 5,000. As someone who moved to Dubai in 2022, I found that checking with the Real Estate Regulatory Agency (RERA) can help you find listings that specifically mention pet policies. Pro tip: Always ask for a copy of the pet policy before signing the lease to avoid any surprises!
