Need more information about Pet Minding in Newcastle NSW?

All pet parents want to know that their dog is being well cared for when they have to be away and cannot be the one to care for their pet. Thus, when leaving town on a business trip or a family vacation, a pet parent has an important choice to make between a kennel or Pet Minding. Placing a pet in a kennel is not only expensive, it puts unnecessary stress on your dog, it usually means very little exercise, and it can put your pet in harm’s way by needless exposure to disease. Placing your dog in Pet Minding in Newcastle NSW under the care of Mad Paws has many advantages which will give you peace of mind with the assurance of the following:
  • Comfort of Routine – Mad Paws wants you and your dog 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 dog a positive outlook and they will find comfort in it.

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

  • Nothing Quite Like Home - Pet Minding gives your dog a temporary home away from home. Pet Minding locations will remind them of the home they are accustomed to.

  • Reduced Risk – Unlike a kennel, which could have your dog confined near diseased, aggressive, or despairing pets, Pet Minding is an intimate setting. If there are other dogs they are carefully chosen, healthy and well behaved.

  • No to Cages! - In a Pet Minding location your dog 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 sitter isn’t you, we believe it is the next best thing.

  • Personal Attention – The quantity and quality of time your pet sitter gives your dog cannot be matched in a kennel. In Pet Minding 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.
