About Mitch
Hi, I'm Mitch & I'm a 27 year old that loves adventures and is obsessed with dogs. Ever since I was born, I have always been surrounded by dogs, and right now is no exception. Prince, my Afghan Hound has been the love of my life for the last 2 years.

Over these 2 years, I’ve developed a stronger love for animals, and I’m currently working towards becoming a dog breeder, a veterinary nurse, and then further down the line a fully qualified veterinarian.

I’m taking the care and study of dogs very seriously, and have undergone a dog training course, read books, spoken with other vets, and I have even spent 8 weeks living with one of the top dog breeders in the world - where I helped her raise over 20 puppies in total, and take care of all of the 20+ adult dogs she has. I also had the responsibility of looking after all of her puppies/dogs whilst she was overseas judging at a dog show.

Although I am new to MadPaws, I’ve had the privilege to look after 6 different homes and over 50+ different dogs. (I have all the individual dog breeds I’ve worked with at the bottom of this description).

I would love to be able to meet more pets, play with them, cuddle them, take them for walks, feed them, sleep over with them, drive them to appointments, pick them up, or anything else you can think of! Leaving your beloved pets behind when you're away is tough - I've been there. With the updates I'll be sending you regularly through text, photo & video, you can keep tabs on your pets from afar and be confident they're being looked after with care and having a good time.

Rest assured, I will take the same care & precaution for your pets as I do for mine.

This job is perfect for me right now, because I love traveling, looking after animals, and meeting new people.

I’m currently traveling the East Coast of Australia, from Melbourne, NSW and Queensland. Either looking after a home/pets, staying with my friends or family, or staying in a campground.

I’ve spent the last 5 years as an online personal trainer/wellness coach, and I also do part time work with the NDIS for mental health. This allows me the freedom and flexibility to travel and look after your home/pets.

My other interests include reading, podcasts, strength training, triathlon, trail running, karate, and playing drums.

I know that it takes a lot of trust to have someone look after your home or your pets, so please feel free to message me any questions you might have.

Thank you!
Mitch

Mitch looked after my 14year old rescue dog who has severe anxiety, a storm phobia, and arthritis, as well as my 6 month old kitten. The love and care Mitch gave my pets was just impeccable. The time and patience he had with Molly when she was panicking or not feeling to well was admirable. He made a huge effort to ensure she was comfortable and okay. My dog also hates baths, but Mitch made it an enjoyable experience for her and helped her through her anxiety. Mitch also had the same level of care and love when dealing with my rescue kitten, he spent lots of time playing with her, cuddling her and nurturing her. He did a great job when it came to feeding time for both of the animals. I came home to a happy house and both pets were sad to see him leave. I will definitely look to Mitch when searching for someone to care for my pets in the future. Mitch thank you so much you are a blessing to this world ❤️

Mitch is always my go to when I go away and has looked after my dogs a number of times. I have a Cavalier and a Cavoodle. He is a fantastic pet sitter and I trust him completely with my dogs. He sends me photos and videos and updates me every day on how they are going. He takes them for walks and plays with them. My Cavoodle needs lots of attention and stimulation and Mitch is the perfect person for it. Mitch has his own dog who he completely adores so he knows just what pets and pet owners need to feel secure and loved when they go on a holiday.
