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 Minding optimal to give their pup a safe and caring environment. Our pet sitters in 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 Minding are:
  • Reduced Risk – Unlike a kennel, which could have your pup confined near diseased, aggressive, or despairing pets, Pet Minding is an intimate setting. If there are other pups they are carefully chosen, healthy and well behaved.

  • Doesn't Break the Bank - Not only does Pet Minding give your pup more one on one attention, but this option is more affordable than a kennel as you can choose a sitter that fits your budget.

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

  • One on One Attention - A personal pet sitter is devoted to your pup. You can be secure in knowing your pet will get quality time, attention and dependable care. You will be able to relax and enjoy your time away, trusting that your pet is getting the love they need.

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

  • No Cages – The last place you want to leave your pup is behind bars in a kennel, which can compound stress for your pup and create worry for you. With a pet sitter in a caring home environment your pet will be free and happy.
