9 Best Pet Sitting Services in Singapore (2026)

Pet sitting in Singapore keeps your animals in familiar surroundings rather than a boarding kennel, whether that means a sitter dropping in for feeding, litter and play, staying overnight in your home, or hosting your pet in theirs. This guide gathers nine currently-operating options: vetted booking platforms that connect you with independent sitters, dedicated dog, cat and small-pet sitters, and a membership house-sitting exchange. Each was researched from primary sources, so treat it as a shortlist to compare on the species handled, the format and vetting rather than a strict ranking.

Pawshake is a booking platform rather than one company, connecting owners with local sitters across Singapore for drop-in home visits, boarding in a sitter's home, or a sitter staying overnight in yours. You browse profiles, check availability and book someone who suits your dog, cat or small pet. The platform says sitters are individually vetted, can feed, refresh water and give medication, and share photo updates during a booking, and that each home visit and boarding is covered by its Pawshake Guarantee with veterinary cover and seven-day support. Quality varies by individual, so read profiles and arrange a meet-and-greet first.

PetBacker is an app-based marketplace that matches owners with independent sitters across Singapore. Rather than fixing one provider, it lets you post a request, receive quotes from nearby sitters and pick a profile, for drop-in visits or cage-free boarding in the sitter's home. The platform says payments are held in escrow until the job starts, that bookings carry protection cover and insurance, and that a support team is available around the clock. Sitters share photo and text updates through the app. Because it is a marketplace, experience differs by sitter, so review the individual profile and arrange a meet-and-greet.

Godpawrents is a peer-to-peer platform, launched in 2024, where owners find home-based freelancers, its 'godpawrents', to pet-sit, board, walk, groom or transport a dog or cat. Its distinguishing feature is Singpass verification for members, which it says builds trust and stops people opening multiple accounts, and it positions itself on lower platform fees than comparable services. Sitting can mean in-home visits or boarding in the sitter's home. Because sitters are independent individuals rather than one company's staff, offerings and experience vary from person to person, so read a sitter's listing carefully and meet them before a first booking.

Singapore Pet Sitters is a dedicated sitting service that says it has operated since 2004, sending a sitter to your home rather than boarding your animal elsewhere. It covers dogs, cats and exotic pets such as rabbits, hamsters, gerbils and lizards, with daily home visits built around a care plan for feeding, exercise and companionship, and references overnight stays. The service frames the first meeting as a meet-and-greet so pet and sitter can be introduced before regular visits. Its cat-only arm operates as Cat Sitter Singapore. The site keeps vetting and coverage detail light, so confirm those directly before booking.

The Cat Whisperer is a cat-only sitting service built entirely around in-home visits, on the principle that your cat never leaves home. A visit covers feeding, clearing the litter tray, medicating if needed and play, with owners providing supplies; the service notes extra charges for tasks such as subcutaneous injections or force-feeding. It says daily photo and video updates come as standard, and includes free plant watering and mail collection while you travel. Booking involves a signed declaration form and emergency contact, with keys collected in advance. It handles cats only, so dog and small-pet owners should look elsewhere.

Cat Paradise, a Joo Chiat-based cat specialist, added an in-home cat sitting service alongside its boarding, sending a sitter to care for your cat at home. Visits cover feeding and fresh water, litter cleaning, play and attention, and daily health monitoring, with medication available for special-needs cats and personalised photo updates each day. The company says its sitters are carefully vetted and trained in feline care, and that several team members have backgrounds in animal care or veterinary assistance. Its process runs through a consultation and key collection a day or two before service begins. It handles cats only.

Nekoya is a cat specialist, operating since 2023, that runs in-home cat sitting alongside its cat hotels. A sitter visits your home for options ranging from a short check-in for food, water and litter through to a longer session with companionship, play and a video call. It offers a medical add-on for administering medication, pilling or subcutaneous fluids such as insulin or kidney support. The company says its sitters are trained in feline behaviour, health monitoring and stress-free handling and that every sitter passes a background check, with daily text or video updates. It cares for cats only.

TrustedHousesitters works differently from the paid services here: it is a global membership platform where verified sitters look after your pets in your own home in exchange for free accommodation, so there is no per-visit fee, only a membership. Sitters usually stay in the house, keeping dogs, cats and other pets in their normal routine while you travel. The platform says members are verified and reviewed, and it offers support and cover for members. Because a sitter is often a traveller staying for the trip, it suits longer absences more than a daily drop-in, so meet or video-call first.

K9 Petcare presents itself as a dog walking, daycare and pet sitting provider offering daytime and overnight pet sitting for both dogs and cats, pitched as caring for your pet and your home while you are away. It is one of the few dedicated local outfits here that sit dogs as well as cats, rather than specialising in one species. The homepage keeps specifics such as vetting, insurance, updates and coverage areas light, so it is worth contacting them directly to confirm how sitting is staffed, what a visit includes and which neighbourhoods they serve before booking.
