Puppy Sitting
Who doesn’t love puppies? At Mad Paws, finding a trusted reliable puppy sitter is simple. We understand that you only want the best for your puppy, and this means finding an animal lover who will treat your furry baby as if it was their own. Whether you’re going away on a holiday, business trip or simply working long hours, and are in need of someone to look after your puppy, you have come to the right place. When you choose Mad Paws, you can enjoy peace of mind knowing that your puppy is in the best of hands. After all, we understand that our pets are like our children, and require adequate care and attention.
When you choose Mad Paws puppy sitting, you have two distinct boarding options. Should you require house sitting as well as puppy sitting, the house and pet sitting service is the perfect option for you. Whilst your puppy may be happy and full of energy, it can be stressful for them to have to be moved from their home, therefore this option removes that necessity. Alternatively, if you would prefer your puppy to be looked after in a sitter’s home, our pet hosting service is a great option. Either way, whatever puppy sitting option you choose, you have made the right choice by coming to Mad Paws.
You wouldn’t leave your puppy with just another person – you want someone who will devote their time to your pet, one who will truly care. At Mad Paws, we make sure as such. Each and every carer is covered, reliable, and experienced, which means you can rest assured and enjoy your vacation or break knowing that your puppy is being cared for. A safe environment for your pet is our first priority.

- What other services does Mad Paws offer?
Unlike traditional Pet Minding services such as kennels and veterinary clinics, we offer a wide and unique range of services. This tailored approach will engage your pet and make them feel as loved and happy as they do at home. The services available through Mad Paws are:
- Pet Sitting– Overnight pet care in the pet’s home. The Pet Sitter can House Sit and Pet Sit at the same time.
- Pet Hosting– Overnight care at the Sitter’s home. This is where your pet goes and stay’s at the Pet Sitter’s abode.
- Doggy Day Care– Daytime care for your pet. This can occur either in the pet’s home or the Pet Sitter’s home.
- Dog Walking– A Pet Sitter comes to your home and walk your dog for you. The length of these Dog Walks are flexible depending on the needs of your pet.
- House Visits – A Pet Sitter comes to your home once or twice a day to check on your pet/s and feed them. They can also spend an hour or two with your pet/s as you require.
- Pet Grooming – Done either at your or the Pet Sitter’s home, a pet expert grooms and beautifies your furry friend.
- Dog Training – A Dog Trainer works with your pooch to hone their skills and address any behavioural issues. Like other services, this can be done either at your or the Pet Sitter’s home.
Service rates will vary in price depending on the age and size of the pet, the number of pets, and the length of the stay. Make sure you read all the information on the Sitter’s profile before making a booking. We also strongly recommend completing a Meet & Greet; it will allow you to discuss the details of the booking as well as meet the Pet Sitter prior to the booking.

- What’s included in Mad Paws Accident Cover?
At Mad Paws, the safety of our Pet Sitters, Pet Owners, and their pets is of the utmost importance. We want our Pet Sitters to be able to provide a fun and safe service, but not need to foot a veterinary bill in an emergency. This is why we provide Mad Paws Accident Cover, which protects all Pet Sitting services booked in through the Mad Paws website.
The Mad Paws Accident Cover applies for all services booked through madpaws.com.au. This includes:
- Boarding (Pet Sitting or Pet Hosting);
- House Visits;
- Pet Day Care;
- Dog Training;
- Dog Walking;
- Cat Care;
- Bathing;
- Grooming;
Our free Mad Paws Accident Cover applies to any damage or injury to a third party or their property which is due to negligence of the Pet Sitter whilst the pet is under the Pet Sitter’s care. Please note that there is a $350 deductible for any case, and this is payable by the Pet Sitter. Mad Paws Accident Cover is not to be confused with the usual illness cover that most Pet Owners already have for their pets. For full details on our Accident cover, click here.
If you believe that any incident is covered under Mad Paws Accident Cover, you must provide us with written notice of the incident, along with all material documentation available to you evidencing the foregoing (e.g. invoices and veterinary notes from the initial veterinary examination), no later than seven (7) days after the end date that the Pet Services were provided under the relevant Booking.
For property damage we have a specific Damage guideline in place. To read about our Damage guideline, click here. In addition, we also have a helpful article which explains what to do in case of emergencies: Help, there’s an emergency!
