Need more information about Pet Sitting in Essendon 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 Essendon VIC under the care of Mad Paws has many advantages which will give you peace of mind with the assurance of the following:
  • Safety First - Your pup 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 pup.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Personal Attention – The quantity and quality of time your pet minder gives your pup cannot be matched in a kennel. In Pet Sitting 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.

  • 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 minder in a caring home environment your pet will be free and happy.

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