What dog boarding in Singapore means

Dog boarding in Singapore is paid overnight care for your dog — in a licensed boarding facility or a vetted sitter’s home — while you travel or work. It is the same service many owners search for as pet boarding: a safe, supervised place for your dog to stay for a set date range, from a single night to a few weeks over the year-end and Chinese New Year peak.

Because leaving your dog is a trust purchase, the single most important thing to check is licensing. Any business that boards dogs for payment in Singapore must hold an AVS pet boarding licence, issued by the Animal & Veterinary Service under NParks. We are an independent directory — we do not board dogs ourselves and hold no licence — so our job is to compare licensed boarders, daycares and sitters across the island and match you with one that fits your dog, your dates and your area.

Published rates run from about S$12 a night on budget marketplaces to roughly S$52 a day for a private suite at a licensed facility, with in-home sitters commonly S$25–100 a night. What you pay depends on the type of care, your dog’s size, whether the stay is cageless, and how far ahead you book.

The main types of dog boarding in Singapore

“Dog boarding” covers a few different kinds of care. Overnight boarding at a licensed facility is the classic option; a pet hotel is a hotel-style, often cageless version of it. In-home sitting keeps your dog in a home rather than a kennel, while dog daycare is daytime-only care for working owners. Not sure which fits? Start with our boarding vs daycare vs sitting guide.

Dog boarding across Singapore

Singapore is small, but a boarder near you still means shorter, calmer drop-offs and easier check-ins during the stay. We match owners with licensed boarders in every region — tell us your area and we shortlist boarders nearby.

Find boarding near you

Anyone can say “licensed.” We check.

Boarding is a trust purchase — you are leaving a family member with a stranger. Marketplaces list almost anyone; listicles rarely verify a licence. We only match you with boarders we can find on the official AVS public register of licensed pet boarding facilities.

AVS-register checked

We cross-check the official licensed-boarder register.

Licence conditions matter

Licensed boarders meet welfare training and premises standards.

Honest disclosure

We tell you plainly that we may be compensated for a match.

How we vet boarders

Common questions

What is dog boarding?
Dog boarding is paid overnight care for your dog while you are away — either at a licensed boarding facility (sometimes called a pet hotel) or in a vetted sitter’s home. In Singapore it is also searched for as pet boarding. It differs from daycare, which is daytime-only. See our boarding vs daycare vs sitting guide.
How much does dog boarding cost in Singapore?
As of July 2026, published rates range from about S$12 a night on marketplace platforms to S$52 a day for a private facility suite, with in-home sitters commonly S$25–100. Price depends on the service, your dog’s size, whether it is cageless, and the season. See our prices guide for the full breakdown.
Is “pet boarding” the same thing as dog boarding?
In Singapore the two terms are used interchangeably for the same service, and both need the same AVS pet boarding licence. We are a dog-only directory: overnight boarding, pet hotels, daycare and in-home sitting for dogs. Every operator is checked against the official AVS licensed register before we match you.
Is dogboarding.sg a boarding kennel?
No. We are an independent directory. We do not board dogs ourselves and hold no boarding licence. We match your enquiry to an AVS-licensed boarder and may be compensated when we connect you.
How do I know a boarder is licensed?
Commercial pet boarding in Singapore requires an AVS licence. We check every boarder against the official AVS public register before matching you. Read how to verify a boarder’s licence.
When should I book for CNY or year-end?
Demand peaks in September, November and the December–January travel and Chinese New Year period. Good boarders fill weeks ahead — book early for peak periods.
Which areas do you cover?
All of Singapore. Tell us your preferred area and we match you with boarders nearby — see boarding near you.
