Need more information about Pet Sitting in South Yarra VIC?

All dog owners 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 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 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 South Yarra VIC under the care of Mad Paws has many advantages which will give you peace of mind with the assurance of the following:
  • Reduced Risk – Unlike a kennel, which could have your dog confined near diseased, aggressive, or despairing pets, Pet Sitting is an intimate setting. If there are other dogs they are carefully chosen, healthy and well behaved.

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

  • 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 host isn’t you, we believe it is the next best thing.

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

  • Affordable – Pet Sitting can meet your budget because you have a vast variety of pet hosts to choose from. This gives you more options than kennel care, options of quality care that will not break your bank.

  • Personal Attention – The quantity and quality of time your pet host gives your dog 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.
