London weather and your pet
London's weather is mild but changeable: wet winters, muddy parks and the occasional summer heatwave. On hot days walk early or late and carry water; in winter, dry and check paws after muddy walks.
Many Londoners live in flats with shared entrances and tenancy pet clauses. Share access instructions, key arrangements and any building rules with your provider.
Keep your dog's microchip details and vaccination records up to date.

How much does pet care cost in London?
Providers in London set their own prices in GBP, so you see each provider's rate 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.
How are providers vetted?
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.
What happens in an emergency?
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.
