Need more information about Pet Sitting in Ballarat VIC?

All dog owners want to know that their pup 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 dog owner 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 pup, it usually means very little exercise, and it can put your pet in harm’s way by needless exposure to disease. Placing your pup in Pet Sitting in Ballarat VIC 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 pup 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 pup a positive outlook and they will find comfort in it.

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

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

  • Doesn't Break the Bank - Not only does Pet Sitting 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 to Cages! - In a Pet Sitting location your pup 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.

  • One on One Attention - A personal pet minder 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.
