Travel planning can instantly ignite stress for a pet parent. Choosing the right service, however, can extinguish that anxiety immediately. Mad Paws clientele have found our Pet Sitting optimal to give their pup a safe and caring environment. Our pet hosts in South Melbourne VIC welcome your pup in and make them feel at home. Mad Paws helps you leave behind the increased risk of diseased/aggressive animals, the variety of unknown caregivers, and the high cost of kennel care, so that, both you and your pet can be at ease when separated. Advantages of Pet Sitting are:
  • Reduced Risk – Unlike a kennel, which could have your pup confined near diseased, aggressive, or despairing pets, Pet Sitting is an intimate setting. If there are other pups they are carefully chosen, healthy and well behaved.

  • Personal Attention – The quantity and quality of time your pet host gives your pup cannot be matched in a kennel. In Pet Sitting your pet will not be an animal to be checked on periodically, but instead will be interacting, playing and hanging out with a trusted and reliable caregiver/friend and will be a part of their home activity.

  • No to Cages! - In a Pet Sitting location your pup will not be confined as they would in a caged kennel, thus, reducing their stress. They will be in a home environment with room to roam and relax. While a pet host isn’t you, we believe it is the next best thing.

  • Affordable – Pet Sitting can meet your budget because you have a vast variety of pet hosts to choose from. This gives you more options than kennel care, options of quality care that will not break your bank.

  • Comfort of Routine – Mad Paws wants you and your pup to meet your pet host prior to making your first payment. This gives the opportunity to lay out your pet’s daily routine for the pet host. Having their routine implemented will give pup a positive outlook and they will find comfort in it.

  • No Place Like Home – With Pet Sitting your pup will be ushered into a warm caring home and treated like family by the pet host.
