Pet-friendly short stays in Muscat

Travelling around Oman with a dog or cat is harder than it should be — most hotels simply refuse. A good share of our apartments do take pets, with a simple fee and no judgement.

Updated 2026-09

How pets work at TheFlat

  • Each listing states clearly whether that apartment takes pets — filter by asking us, or check the house rules line
  • A pet fee applies (shown on the listing) — no surprise charges at checkout
  • Gardens and open ground around several buildings, especially Barka and Muscat Hills, make walks easy

Who this is for

  • Relocating families waiting on housing, with a cat or dog in tow
  • Holidaymakers who would rather not kennel the dog for a week
  • Vet trips to Muscat clinics from other governorates — an overnight flat beats a day trip

Practical tips

Message us on WhatsApp with your pet type and the apartment you like; we confirm the exact unit in minutes. Bring your pet’s bed and bowl — the apartments are furnished but not pet-equipment-stocked. And please keep pets off the beds; cleaning after fur is what the fee covers, goodwill covers the rest.

Quick answers

Are any Muscat apartments pet-friendly?

Yes — a number of TheFlat Oman apartments accept pets. Each listing shows whether pets are allowed, and a one-off pet fee applies.

How much is the pet fee?

It is shown on each pet-friendly listing before you book — currently a flat fee per stay, not per night.

Do I need to tell you before bringing a pet?

Please do — message us on WhatsApp with the apartment and your pet, and we confirm the right unit and everything the building requires.
