With Pet Sitting Melbourne services, you can be sure that your dog or cat is in the best care possible.


Whether you’ll be gone for the day or are heading out for an extended holiday, our Pet Sitters Melbourne will take care of your pet and keep you updated on how they’re doing. It’s great for your peace of mind, and it’s even better for your pet.


Without a doubt, you’ll love the care that goes into each one of Pet Sitting Melbourne services’ bookings. We love connecting Pet Owners with the right Pet Sitter so that everyone – especially your pet – is happy.


Are you ready to find your pet’s second best friend (after you, of course)? Go ahead and read through a few Pet Sitter Melbourne profiles and make a connection. You’ll also get a chance to meet the Sitter before finishing the booking process.


You’ll be so relieved that you chose Pet Sitting Melbourne services as your first stop in quality pet care. And believe us – your pet will thank you!


From Hawthorne to Mornington, from St Kilda to Werribee, you’ll find Mad Paws’ Pet Sitters Melbourne. Contact a local Pet Minder today so you can plan your holiday in peace!


Here are a few reasons why Pet Sitting Melbourne services should be your number one choice for pet care:


No Cages - At a kennel, animals spend most of their time in cages. By placing your pet into the care of Pet Sitters Melbourne, your furry friend will be free to roam. By booking a Pet Minder, you can let them romp around under the supervision of an animal care professional.


Safety - Our Pet Sitters Melbourne make safety a main priority. They make sure your pets have a secure and stress-free zone where your pet can snooze, play, and cuddle. When you come home, they’ll be well-rested and content.


Reliability – Unlike in a kennel setting, Pet Sitting Melbourne services ensures that your pet can rely on one person or family. This will relax your pet, and make it easier for you to stay in the loop while you’re away


Consistency – Animals love schedules, and Pet Sitters Melbourne are dedicated to maintaining the schedule that they keep at home. Consistent mealtimes, playtime, and sleep schedules will lower your pet’s confusion and anxiety


Affordability - Even though pets can receive superior care with Sitters than a kennel, you can count on our prices being lower. Just take a look at some of the listings in Melbourne, and you’ll see that you can save big. What’s more, you can do so without having to uproot your pet from the neighborhood they know.


Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)


What types of Pet Sitting services are available in Melbourne?

With Mad Paws’ Pet Sitting Melbourne services, you can choose from a range of care options to suit your pet’s routine.


Whether it’s Pet Hosting (your pet stays at the Sitter’s home) or Pet Sitting (the Sitter stays at your place), we’ve got you covered. You can also book Dog Walking, Day Care, House Visiting, Dog Grooming, and even Dog Training services.


What does a Pet Sitter actually do?

A Pet Sitter’s job is to care for your furbaby while you're away. This might include feeding, walking, playtime, administering medication, and keeping to their usual routine.


With Mad Paws’ Pet Sitting Melbourne services, you can discuss your pet’s needs in advance and agree on exactly what’s required. Some Sitters stay overnight, others drop in or host your pet in their home. It’s all about making sure your pet is happy, healthy, and stress-free.


What are the qualities of a Pet Sitter?

Great Pet Sitters Melbourne-wide are reliable, experienced with animals, and genuinely love what they do. They should ask about your pet’s routine, listen to your instructions, and keep you updated while you’re away.


At Mad Paws, we review every Sitter application before they're approved to list on the platform. You can also check each Sitter’s reviews from other Pet Owners to see how they’ve cared for pets in the past. That way, you can book someone you trust – someone who’ll treat your pet like their own.
