Pet care in Singapore

Singapore is hot and humid all year, compact and very green โ€” with park connectors, dog runs and long coastal paths. Most owners live in HDB flats or condos and work long hours, so a trusted walker or sitter who can work around the heat is a real help.

Weather and seasons in Singapore

Singapore is hot and humid year-round, usually around 30โ€“33ยฐC in the day, with heavy afternoon thunderstorms and two monsoon seasons. Pavements in the sun get very hot, and heat stress is a risk for dogs all year.

Planning around the seasons

Walk in the early morning or after sunset every day, carry water and keep walks short for flat-faced and heavy-coated breeds.

During thunderstorms, avoid open spaces and give noise-sensitive dogs a quiet corner โ€” tell your sitter if your pet is afraid of thunder.

Getting around Singapore with a pet

Pets are generally not allowed on MRT trains and public buses (service animals excepted), and not every taxi or ride will take a dog. A pet taxi is the simplest way to get to the vet, the groomer or Changi for pet travel.

Homes, buildings and access

HDB flats only allow approved dog breeds, while condos set their own pet rules for lifts and common areas. Tell your provider about lift use, the guardhouse and visitor parking.

Local rules worth knowing

Dogs in Singapore must be licensed with the Animal & Veterinary Service and microchipped, and must be on a lead in public places except in dog runs. HDB flats have their own rules on which dog breeds are allowed.

Pet care in Singapore โ€” FAQ

Does OnlyPaw work in Singapore?

Yes. OnlyPaw is available worldwide, including Singapore. 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.

How much does pet care cost in Singapore?

Providers in Singapore 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.

Can I take my dog on the MRT in Singapore?

Pets are generally not allowed on MRT trains and public buses, service animals excepted. For vet, groomer or airport trips, book a pet taxi in the OnlyPaw app.

Which dogs are allowed in HDB flats?

HDB flats only allow approved dog breeds, and there are limits on numbers. Check the current HDB and Animal & Veterinary Service guidance before you get a dog.

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.
