Killarney — questions owners ask

Anything I should know about walking a dog in Killarney?

The national park allows dogs on-lead on all trails but not in Muckross Gardens.

Is my dog insured while they're with a Killarney sitter?

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.

How does key handover work in Killarney?

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

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?

Yes — filter by "puppy friendly" or "senior care" when you search Killarney. 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 Killarney walkers list reactive-dog experience on their profile and will do an extra meet-and-greet before the first walk.
