Howth — questions owners ask
Can a sitter take a puppy or a senior dog?
Yes — filter by "puppy friendly" or "senior care" when you search Howth. Puppies under six months usually get shorter, more frequent visits rather than a full-hour walk, and senior dogs get a slower, shorter route.
My dog is reactive on lead. Can I still book?
Yes, but choose a solo walk rather than a group one, and say so in your first message. Several Howth walkers list reactive-dog experience on their profile and will do an extra meet-and-greet before the first walk.
Do I get updates while my dog is out?
Yes. Walkers send photo updates through the app during the booking and log where they went. You can message your sitter free at any time before, during or after.
Will I get the same sitter every week?
That is the norm. Most Howth owners settle into a standing weekly slot with one sitter, which keeps things predictable for the dog. If your regular sitter is away they can suggest a cover sitter you approve first.
What if I have two dogs?
Most Howth sitters charge roughly 50% extra for a second dog from the same household rather than double — so about €27 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.
