Seoul has hot, humid summers with a monsoon season (jangma) in July, and cold, dry winters often below freezing. Spring brings yellow dust and fine-dust days with poor air quality.
In summer, walk early and late, avoid hot asphalt and plan indoor play during heavy monsoon rain.
On high fine-dust days, keep walks short and wipe your dog’s face and paws afterwards; in winter, protect paws from de-icing chemicals.
On the subway and buses, small pets can usually travel in a closed carrier; larger dogs cannot. Taxis may decline pets, so a pet taxi is the easy option for the vet, a groomer or Incheon Airport.
Most people live in apartment complexes with management offices and rules on pets in lifts and shared areas. Tell your provider about door codes, the management office and parking.
In Korea dogs aged two months or older must be registered with the animal registration system. In public, dogs must be on a lead no longer than two metres, owners must pick up after them, and designated dangerous breeds must wear a muzzle.

Yes. OnlyPaw is available worldwide, including Seoul. Because it's a marketplace, the providers you can book depend on who has been approved near your address — the app shows who's available before you pay.
Providers in Seoul 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.
Yes. Dogs aged two months or older must be registered with Korea’s animal registration system. Keep the details handy for providers.
In public places dogs must be on a lead no longer than two metres, and owners must pick up after them. Designated dangerous breeds must also wear a muzzle.
Every provider submits a government ID and a selfie, passes a knowledge test with a 70% pass mark and uploads service-specific documents — home photos for sitting and boarding, driving licence and vehicle registration for pet taxi, certificates for grooming and training — 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 — on iPhone and Android.
