Tuam — questions owners ask
Will I get the same sitter every week?
That is the norm. Most Tuam 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 Tuam 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 Tuam?
Walkers covering Tuam 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 Tuam?
Home boarding near Tuam averages €35 a night, rising to about €45 for hosts who take one dog at a time or cover bank holidays. That includes feeding, two walks a day and photo updates.
Are PawPals sitters in Tuam Garda vetted?
Yes. Every sitter completes ID verification and Garda vetting before their profile can go live, and PawPals holds the payment until the service is finished. Reviews can only be written by owners who completed and paid for a real booking.
