About dog boarding in Dublin

Dublin is a paradise for dogs and their owners, with green spaces woven throughout the city. Phoenix Park, one of the largest enclosed urban parks in Europe, offers over 700 hectares of open fields and woodland trails perfect for off-lead adventures. Closer to the city centre, St Stephen's Green and the tree-lined Grand Canal provide quieter spots for a leisurely stroll. Along the coast, Sandymount Strand and Bull Island in Dublin Bay are favourites for dogs who love splashing through shallow waters and sandy stretches.

Each Dublin neighbourhood has its own character when it comes to pet culture. Ranelagh and Rathmines buzz with dog-friendly cafes and community walks, while Stoneybatter and Phibsborough have a close-knit feel where neighbours look out for each other's pets. In leafy Ballsbridge and Donnybrook, you will find well-kept parks and a strong tradition of responsible pet ownership. Clontarf and Drumcondra offer coastal and canal-side paths that keep tails wagging year round.

Petme connects Dublin pet owners with verified, local sitters who genuinely love animals. Every booking includes our €20,000 vet protection, so whether your dog is exploring Howth Head or your cat is curled up at home in Sandymount, you can relax knowing they are fully covered. With flexible options from daily walks to extended stays, finding trusted pet care in Dublin has never been easier.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How much does dog boarding cost in Dublin?

Home dog boarding in Dublin typically runs €32–€58 per night, depending on the size of your dog, number of dogs, and the time of year. August bank holiday weekend and the Christmas window tend to sit at the top of that range.

Is this a kennel?

No. Every Petme boarder is a real home. Sitters host a small number of dogs at a time, your dog sleeps inside the home, and most sitters let dogs on the sofa if that is what they are used to.

Can I do a meet and greet first?

Yes. Most Irish owners arrange a free meet and greet through the Petme chat before the first stay. You drop in, your dog meets the sitter, and you confirm everything in person.

Are dog boarders in Dublin verified?

Yes. Every sitter passes identity and background checks. Each booking includes up to €20,000 in vet protection at no extra cost.

What if my dog needs medication during a stay?

Many Petme boarders give pills, drops, or insulin on schedule. Mention any medical routine in the booking request and the sitter confirms before accepting.

Is there a service fee for pet owners?

No. Petme charges pet owners 0% service fee. You only pay the sitter's rate, and you earn automatic cashback on every completed stay.
