When enquiring about boarding, it is worth sharing your dog's size, breed, and temperament upfront, as these factors can affect suitability and availability. Bring along your dog's vaccination records — proof of up-to-date vaccinations is standard practice for boarding providers in Singapore. If possible, arrange a trial visit so your dog can acclimatise to the environment before an extended stay. Clarify whether drop-off and collection are self-arranged or whether any transport assistance is available, and discuss how frequently your dog will be exercised and supervised throughout the day. For regular boarders, ask whether a recurring schedule can be agreed in advance.
To take the next step, reach out to Happy Dog Care directly via WhatsApp, phone, or the enquiry form to check availability for your required dates and confirm all boarding terms before drop-off. Listing data is incomplete — contact Happy Dog Care directly to confirm details.

Our 5months old pup - Omar just completed his full series of classes with Happy Dog. Considering our pup will grow really big, we felt that proper training is important. Whilst he seem stern on whatapp, Mark is actually really funny IRL. Mark was to the point, and on point to help us correct Omar's behavoir (& ours 😂, if we were the ones causing confusion to the pup). Before hiring Mark, we were trying to train the dog by following internet.. failed disasterously.. LOL. From the pup who peed & poo everywhere (but outside the house)..pulling on leash and bitey.. we now have a well behaved toilet trained pup (he goes out of the house when he needs a pee) who can walk off leash..(tried..leash broke and he zoom off, only to slowly come running back) and no longer pees and poo (& sleep in them) at night 🤞🏻 Really appreciated the help & guidance! Mark also de-myth a lot of stuff i read online with simple logical explanations. We brought Omar to a family gathering recently where Omar impressed many of them & earned praises from everyone for good behavoir, well toilet trained & just being able to follow commands.. compared to the much older dogs our family had interacted with at other folks' place.. oops 🤐! It was also remarked that our dog was happier.. perhaps because our '"communication" w the pup had improve. Both my partner & i felt that it was money well spent. Highly recommended..! 👍🏻👍🏻
I really appreciated how honest and upfront Mark was. He read the information I shared about my newly adopted senior dog carefully and gave clear, realistic advice, without pushing me to sign up for a training course (which many trainers typically would). It felt like his priority was genuinely helping me and my dog, rather than selling a program. I was very impressed by the lack of pressure. I’d definitely recommend him to anyone looking for straightforward, thoughtful guidance. And if I have a dog in the future who is suitable and would benefit from a training course, he would absolutely be one of my top choices.
Mark was a great dog trainer, and we’re really happy with the experience. His communication with us was always clear and consistent, and he took the time to explain every step of the training so we felt confident following through at home. He was patient, knowledgeable, and truly understood our dog’s personality and needs. We saw real improvement, and our dog responded so well to his methods. We appreciate his professionalism and the genuine care he showed throughout the process. Highly recommend!
We decided to engage Mark for our 3 month pup and he's very knowledgeable- he gave us the skills and knowledge to further enforce training consistency with our girl and she's doing well! We really appreciate Mark’s professionalism, clear explanations, and his genuine care for our puppy’s development. Highly recommended for anyone looking for reliable, effective, and supportive dog training!
We've sent our puppy to Mark for Board and train for a month. Our main objective was to have her potty trained, she came back 100% potty trained! We didn't get to see our dog for a month, but he will provide updates every 2-3 days. Over the 1 month we received 5 photo updates, can be scary not knowing how your dog is doing, but we left Mark to do his job and he did a great one! Would highly recommend him for his board and train program.

Most reputable boarding providers in Singapore require dogs to be vaccinated against DHPP (distemper, hepatitis, parvovirus, and parainfluenza) and to hold a current rabies vaccination. Bordetella (kennel cough) vaccination is also commonly required for boarding and daycare environments where dogs are in close proximity. Vaccinations are typically expected to have been administered within the past 12 months. You will usually need to present the vaccination booklet or a vet-issued certificate at the point of drop-off. If your dog's vaccinations are due for renewal, arrange an updated jab with your vet well ahead of the boarding date. Contact Happy Dog Care directly to confirm their specific vaccination requirements before booking.
Pet boarding facilities in Singapore are required to hold a licence issued by the Animal and Veterinary Service (AVS) under the National Parks Board. This licence governs the conditions under which animals may be boarded commercially, including space, hygiene, and care standards. Happy Dog Care does not currently list an AVS licence on this directory, so prospective customers should ask the provider directly to confirm their licensing status before committing. On the question of insurance, confirm whether Happy Dog Care carries coverage for incidents such as illness, injury, or escape that may occur during your dog's stay, and what the protocol is should your pet require emergency veterinary attention. Visit the facility, check the vaccination policy, and confirm insurance before drop-off.
