dog boarding in Belfast — your questions
How much does a dog walker cost in Belfast?
Most PawPals walkers in County Antrim charge around €12–€19 for a 60-minute walk, with small-group walks at the lower end and solo walks for reactive or elderly dogs at the higher end. Overnight boarding averages about €33 a night.
Is boarding better than a kennel in Belfast?
For most dogs, yes. PawPals boarding hosts in Belfast take one family of dogs at a time in their own home, so your dog keeps a normal routine instead of spending the day in a run. Kennels can still suit dogs that need clinical supervision.

How quickly can I book in Belfast?
Most owners in Belfast get a confirmed booking within a couple of hours. Send a request to two or three sitters, compare replies, then pay securely through PawPals — the money is only released to the sitter after the service is complete.
Where will my dog be walked in Belfast?
