Greater Cairo stretches from the old city and the Nile islands to the gated compounds of New Cairo and Sheikh Zayed. Summers are fierce, traffic is heavy and many owners work long hours, so walkers, sitters and pet taxis make daily pet care far easier.

Cairo has very hot, dry summers that regularly pass 35โ40ยฐC and mild winters. In spring, dusty khamaseen winds can bring sandstorms and poor air quality.
From May to September, walk only at dawn or after dark, carry water and avoid hot asphalt and sand.
On dusty, windy days, keep walks short and wipe your petโs eyes, nose and paws afterwards.

Local notes for owners and providers.
Island streets along the Nile; early-morning walks are calmest.
Green, leafy streets and close to Wadi Degla.
Wide avenues and older apartment buildings.
Gated compounds with internal paths and green spaces.
Compounds and villas on the western desert edge.
Quiet, shaded streets close to the Nile.
Busy apartment districts; plan routes away from main roads.
A planned city with parks and walking paths.
Apartment buildings often have a bawab (doorman) who keeps keys and knows who comes and goes, while compounds have security gates and their own pet rules. Tell your provider about the bawab, gate passes and lifts.
Keep your pet vaccinated against rabies and keep the records handy. Egypt has introduced rules on keeping dogs, including registration for some breeds โ check what currently applies to your dog. Use a lead in public and in compounds.
The metro and most public transport do not take pets, and ride-hailing drivers may refuse animals. A pet taxi is the practical way to reach the vet, a groomer or the airport.

Yes. OnlyPaw is available worldwide, including Cairo. Because it's a marketplace, the providers you can book depend on who has been approved near your address โ the app shows who's available before you pay.
Providers in Cairo set their own prices, so you see each provider's rate in the app before you book. At checkout OnlyPaw adds a service fee of 10% of the service price, with a minimum of USD 2 and a maximum of USD 20 (or the equivalent in your local currency), shown before you pay. Your payment is held and only released to the provider after the service is completed.
Only very early in the morning or after dark. Keep walks short, carry water and avoid hot asphalt and sand. You can book early or late slots on OnlyPaw.
Book a pet taxi in the OnlyPaw app: set pickup and drop-off on the map and follow the ride by GPS.
Every provider submits a government ID and a selfie, passes a knowledge test with a 70% pass mark and uploads service-specific documents โ home photos for sitting and boarding, driving licence and vehicle registration for pet taxi, certificates for grooming and training โ before the OnlyPaw team approves them.
Every active booking has an SOS button in the app. It alerts the other party and the OnlyPaw team straight away. If your pet needs urgent medical care, contact a vet or emergency clinic first.
Booking, payment, chat and tracking all happen in the app โ on iPhone and Android.
