How does key handover work in Cork City?

What happens if I need to cancel?
Cancel more than 24 hours before the start time and you are refunded in full. Inside 24 hours the sitter keeps 50%. Because PawPals holds the money until the service is complete, refunds go back to your card automatically.
Can a sitter take a puppy or a senior dog?
