County Kilkenny — 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 Kilkenny. 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 Kilkenny 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 Kilkenny 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.
