OUR STORY
We’ve come some way since starting out in the mid 2010s as a small animal concept.
Today we offer daycare, staycations, grooming and pet transport for all furkids, big or small.
We believe that in our cityscape, our furkids' physical, psychological and social needs too often get neglected. Our full service concept seeks to elevate our city furkid's lives in a wholistic manner.
Underpinning all our offerings are empathy and knowledgable expertise, delivering best in class pet services across our three outlets spread across the island.

LAURA
Founder & Behaviourist
Marrying her love for business and passion for animals, Laura founded Urban Paws as a full service concept. Realising that companion animals have a deep well of emotions and needs that often go unaddressed in our hustle and bustle, Urbans Paws was founded on the basis of empathy, compassion and authenticity.
Laura now derives the most fulfillment from rehabilitating dogs with behavioural issues.
JESTER
Daycare Lead
With many years of animal husbandry and handling under his belt, "Papa Jester" is incredibly patient with even the most stubborn of dogs. A nature lover and free spirit, Jester loves nothing better than to enjoy the great outdoors with his pack of furry pals. Jester is also the night-time guardian of dogs on staycation.
LYNN
Small Mammal Groomer
Having had all sorts of pets, large and small, her entire life, Lynn ensures everyone is well-taken care of in her ‘hood – be they your furkids, our furkids, her minions, the stray cats roaming about or your kids roaming about (ok, not quite.)
She specializes in grooming for small animals and does an especially good job with the most timid of pets.
JADE
Junior Groomer
Vet tech, animal communicator, groomer. Jades dedication to pets’ wellness is multifold and wholistic. The Urban Paws vision of integrating social, mental and physical resonates with her and she has since become a key advocate to her clients and team members.
JOSHUA
Daycare Lead
The literal biggest softie on the team, while Joshua believes in the importance of firm authority in dog handling, his adopted Singapore Special Winnie easily breaks through his stern demeanour to get treats and attention. As a daycare lead at Telok Kurau, Joshua enjoys seeing dogs bond and open up during daycare
WINNIE
Groomer
Starting out with us as a design intern, Winnie took the leap to pursue what she was really passionate about - grooming and handling, to become a core member of the Urban Paws team. Winnie's aesthetic sense, natural handling and dedication shines through in her groom sessions which she keeps as happy and safe as possible.
Charcoal, her XXL Singapore Special adoptee, senior poodle Cookie and Bunny Pedro are treasured members of her furry tribe at home.
QINGHUI
Junior Groomer
Beginning her journey with Urban Paws as a (strangely) fearful Veterinarian Technician intern, Qinghui has since grown by leaps and bounds in her handling confidence. Going on to take a grooming course, Qing Hui is now a well rounded full fledged handler with grooming chops to boot.
VERON
Pet Transport
Having worked closely with shelter dogs for many years, Veron joined Urban Paws as a driver and handler to continue her stellar work with her gentle expertise. An invaluable support unit to the provision of our core services of daycare, staycation and grooming , Veron and her van ensures smooth functioning, reliability and safety. Veron continues to be a strong advocate of the TRNM program in Singapore.
EINSTEIN
Guest Relations
Undeniably the most recognizable face of Urban Paws, his stoic affection has become the stuff of legends. Einstein's strong work ethic compels him to not only pose luxuriantly with you for photo shoots but also to give paw massages if he thinks you are a high roller (read: laden with treats).
GINGER
Security Guard
You can always spot Ginger out and about on his sentry duty. Except when he's eating, napping or cleaning his paws. Ok, so maybe 2-hour sentry duty. When he feels like it.
SANSA
Paw Patrol
This red headed Norwegian Forest is mostly out working her charms pawtrolling for treats in the neighbourhood. If you get a rare glimpse of her inside the centre, she will usually be making bedroom eyes at whoever is nearest her, pretending to not notice you noticing her.
