Pet Taxi in Muscat: what to know
Muscat is a long, narrow city between the mountains and the sea, stretching from Al Qurum and Madinat Sultan Qaboos to Al Mouj, Al Hail and Seeb. Villas and low-rise apartments are common, and many residents drive between districts every day.
Muscat's length means trips from Seeb to Al Qurum take time. A pet taxi handles vet visits, grooming and boarding drop-offs, with live tracking in the app.
Heat and weather in Muscat
Muscat's summers are hot and humid, with daytime highs often above 40°C, while winters are warm and pleasant. Rocky ground and asphalt hold heat long after sunset, so check the surface before a walk.
Ask the driver to pre-cool the car in summer, never leave a pet in a parked vehicle, and use a secure crate or harness. Flag medication, anxiety or multiple pets in the request.
Planning around the seasons in Muscat
During the hot months (May to September), book rides for the cooler hours and ask for the car to be pre-cooled; before school holidays, Eid and the winter break, book vet check-ups and boarding drop-offs early.
Before you book
Drivers upload their driving licence, vehicle registration and photos of the vehicle, which the OnlyPaw team reviews before they can offer pet taxi rides.

How much does pet taxi cost in Muscat?

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 pet taxi drivers in Muscat vetted?
Every pet taxi driver in Muscat must submit a government ID, a selfie, a driving licence, vehicle registration and vehicle photos, and pass a pet-safety knowledge test with a 70% pass mark. The OnlyPaw team reviews each application — and each additional service — before it goes live.
Where can a pet taxi take my pet in Muscat?
Anywhere the driver agrees to go — typically vet clinics, groomers, boarding hosts, a friend's home or your new address. Add both addresses and any special needs when you request the trip, and confirm details with the driver in the chat.
What if I need to cancel?
Each provider uses one of three cancellation policies. Under the default moderate policy you get a full refund if you cancel at least 24 hours before the start, 50% if you cancel at least 2 hours before, and nothing in the last 2 hours. The flexible policy refunds in full up to 2 hours before the start; the strict policy refunds in full from 48 hours and 50% from 24 hours before.
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.
