Dog walking in Kilkenny City — your questions
Solo walk or group walk?
Group walks are cheaper (from about €11) 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.
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.

What does overnight boarding cost around Kilkenny City?
Home boarding near Kilkenny City averages €32 a night, rising to about €42 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 Kilkenny City Garda vetted?
