Choose dog walking when

If you're away overnight, a walk isn't enough — you want drop-in sitting or home boarding instead.

Dog walking in Dublin City — your questions
What happens in bad weather?
Walks go ahead in normal Irish rain — sitters towel dogs down afterwards. In a status-orange or red warning your walker will switch to a shorter route or a home visit with indoor play, and will message you before making the change.
Solo walk or group walk?
Group walks are cheaper (from about €14) and great for sociable dogs who like company. Solo walks cost more but are the right call for reactive dogs, puppies still learning lead manners, and dogs recovering from injury.
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 Dublin City?
Walkers covering Dublin City typically charge €15–€22 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 Dublin City?
Home boarding near Dublin City averages €40 a night, rising to about €50 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 Dublin City 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.
