What do pets do with Mad Paws Sitters?

If you’ve ever wondered what your furry friend gets up to while you’re away, you’re not alone. Many pet parents feel curious (and sometimes a little guilty) about leaving their pets in the care of one of our Mad Paws Sitters. But there’s definitely no need to feel guilty… they’re probably having a better time than you!

When a trusted Pet Sitter is looking after them, your pet is doing exactly what they’d do with you – enjoying comfort, care, and companionship.

To help tell the story in pictures, we’ve trawled through our Pet Sitters’ posts on our Instagram and Facebook to find photos that show you what to expect.

Here’s a glimpse into what pets typically get up to with a Pet Sitter:

1. Playtime and exercise

From games of fetch in the backyard to gentle indoor play, our Mad Paws Pet Sitters make sure dogs, cats, and other pets burn off energy in safe and fun ways. For dogs, this often includes walks and outdoor adventures. For cats, it might be chasing toys or practicing their acrobatic leaps.

2. Meals and treats

Routine is everything! A Mad Paws Pet Sitter will stick to your pet’s usual feeding routine, so there are no surprises for their tummy. Whether it’s kibble, raw or cooked meals at specific times, medication in their dinner, or a cheeky treat here and there, your pet will feel right at home with their normal routine.

Because every Mad Paws booking is personalised to suit you and your pet, your furry friend may even be hand-fed 😺

3. Cuddles and comfort

Just like you, our Mad Paws Sitters know that pats, snuggles, and scratches behind the ears go a long way! Your pet won’t be left feeling lonely. Instead, they’ll enjoy companionship, attention, and plenty of affection.

And if your pet is used to sleeping under the covers with you, no problem for our Sitters who go the extra mile to make sure your pet gets all the same creature comforts they do at home 💤

4. Quiet time in a safe space

It’s not all action! Pets also get the chance to rest and relax in familiar surroundings. That might mean a cat curled up in their favourite sunny spot, or a dog snoozing after a long walk.

5. Peace of mind (for you, too!)

Throughout the booking, your Mad Paws Sitter will send updates and photos, so you can see exactly what your pet is up to! That way, you can enjoy your time away knowing your furry friend is safe, happy, and loved.
