Dog walking in Waterford 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 €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.
Where will my dog actually be walked in Waterford City?
The routes local walkers use most are Waterford Greenway, People's Park, Kilbarry Nature Park. Your walker agrees the route with you first and shares where they went in the app afterwards.
