Choose dog sitting when
Your dog is happiest in their own house — nervous with new places, on medication, or simply too settled to move.
Choose something else when
If your dog can't be alone overnight, home boarding is the kinder option than three visits a day.

Dog sitting in Cork City — your questions
How many visits a day does my dog need?
Most adult dogs do well on two visits a day if they're left alone overnight. Puppies, seniors and dogs on medication usually need three. Sitters will tell you honestly if they think overnight boarding is the fairer option.
What happens during a drop-in visit in Cork City?
A 30-minute visit covers a toilet break, feeding, fresh water, playtime and a short walk if you've agreed one. You get photos and a written note after every single visit.
What if I have two dogs?
Most Cork City sitters charge roughly 50% extra for a second dog from the same household rather than double — so about €24 for an hour with two. Confirm it in the chat before you book.
How and when do I pay?
You pay by card in the app when the booking is confirmed. PawPals holds the money in escrow and releases it to the sitter only after the service is completed, so you are never out of pocket if plans change.
How much does a dog walker cost in Cork City?
Walkers covering Cork City typically charge €13–€20 for a 60-minute walk. Small-group walks sit at the lower end; solo walks for reactive, elderly or recovering dogs sit at the top. You see the exact price, VAT included, before you pay.
What does overnight boarding cost around Cork City?
