Need more information about Pet Sitting in Melbourne VIC?

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 Sitting. 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 Sitting in Abbotsford VIC under the care of Mad Paws has many advantages which will give you peace of mind with the assurance of the following:

  • Doesn't Break the Bank - Not only does Pet Sitting 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.

  • One on One Attention - A personal pet minder is devoted to your dog. 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.

  • No to Cages! - In a Pet Sitting 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 minder isn’t you, we believe it is the next best thing.

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

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

  • Safety First - Your dog will be cared for in a loving intimate setting, not confined with many other animals. With Mad Paws the Pet Sitting environment would have the option of a sitter with a few well socialized pets, or just your pet alone with the sitter. This would be set up to meet the individual needs of your dog.
