Dog walkers in Dublin City

The routes local walkers use most are Phoenix Park's Fifteen Acres, Grand Canal towpath, Iveagh Gardens. Your walker agrees the route with you first and shares where they went in the app afterwards.

City-centre apartment blocks rarely allow sitters to hold a fob, so agree a key handover or lockbox before the first booking.

Every booking made and paid for through PawPals is covered by our care guarantee, which covers vet costs arising from an incident during the booking. Cash arrangements made outside the app are not covered — always book in-app.

Most owners do a free 15-minute meet-and-greet first and hand over a spare key or lockbox code then. Apartment residents in Dublin City should check whether the sitter also needs a lift fob or door code.

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.

Yes — filter by "puppy friendly" or "senior care" when you search Dublin City. Puppies under six months usually get shorter, more frequent visits rather than a full-hour walk, and senior dogs get a slower, shorter route.
