Maynooth — questions owners ask
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 Maynooth. 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 Maynooth 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 Maynooth 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 Maynooth 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.
