## Licences
- **Pet boarding licence** (Animal & Veterinary Service (AVS), NParks, required): Needed to board pets commercially at premises outside farmland.

Check: https://avs.nparks.gov.sg/outreach/resources/public-registry-of-avs-licensed-pet-boarding-facilities/

## How to choose
- Check the operator on AVS's public registry of licensed pet boarding facilities before booking.
- Visit first and look at where your pet will sleep, how often dogs are walked, air-conditioning, and whether cats are kept away from dogs.
- Ask what happens in an emergency: which vet they use, and whether you will be called before treatment.
- Book early for school holidays and festive periods, and confirm surcharges for peak dates.
- Bring vaccination records; reputable boarders insist on up-to-date vaccinations.

## Red flags
- The business is not on AVS's licensed boarding registry.
- Boarding many dogs in a residential flat. HDB flats are limited to one approved dog and two cats.
- No visit allowed before booking, or no vaccination records asked for.

## FAQs
### How much does pet boarding cost in Singapore?
Published rates seen in 2025–2026 start around $35–49 a night for a standard cat hotel room and $42–62 for larger suites. Dog boarding runs about $45–50 a night for small and medium dogs in a kennel, and $60–70 or more for large dogs or private rooms. Expect peak-season surcharges and extra charges for grooming, medication or transport.

### Do pet boarding businesses need a licence in Singapore?
Yes. Operating a commercial pet boarding facility needs an AVS pet boarding licence. Operators must first complete AVS-recognised training on pet welfare and animal management, pass a premises inspection and pay a $100 annual fee. AVS publishes a public registry of licensed boarding facilities.

### Is home boarding in an HDB flat allowed?
Commercial boarding needs an AVS licence and suitable approved premises, and HDB flats are limited to two cats and one dog of an approved small breed per flat. Someone boarding several dogs in their flat is likely breaching those limits. For short stays, an in-home pet sitter who visits your home avoids the issue.
