Cat Sitting
Finding the perfect cat sitter can be a real challenge, especially when you don’t want to hand over your beloved companion to just anyone. Here at Mad Paws, we understand this challenge, which is why we deliver cat sitting services which are second to none. When you need someone to mind your cat, you can trust Mad Paws. We are industry leading professionals so you can confidently leave your cat with someone you trust. Optimal care is what we are known for ensuring.
When you choose Mad Paws, you’re making the right choice for your loved one. You need a reliable person who will ensure your cat’s well being, and provide constant care and attention – or at least the option, for some of the more independent felines. We offer access to thousands of animal lovers who will care for your cat as if it was their own. That’s right, a cat lover who will provide the perfect environment for your pet. Rest, play, and feeding time – all taken care of. Making sure your cat is being well cared for when you’re not around is our first priority.
Using a cat sitter can not only reap benefits for your cat, but also your home. Thats right, enjoy the best of both worlds when you choose our house and pet sitting service. In the unlikely event of an emergency, you also have the confidence of knowing that someone is there looking after both your cat and your home. Cat boarding in the pet’s home is perfect option if you don’t want to disrupt your pet’s routine or place them in an unfamiliar environment where they may experience travel trauma. Choosing this option also provides the added benefit of keeping your home secure.
Our Cat Sitters are based all over Australia – however, if you live in Sydney, Melbourne, or Brisbane, you can learn more about your local Sitters below:

What does the Mad Paws Insurance cover?
At Mad Paws, the safety of our pet owners, pet sitters and pets is of the utmost importance. We want our pet sitters to be able to provide a fun, and safe service, but not have to foot the bill for an insurance premium to helping out their local community members! This is why we, at Mad Paws, have organised and arranged a Public Liability insurance policy which provides Insurance for all pet sitting services booked in through the Mad Paws website.
The insurance policy 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;
- Transportation.
Mad Paws offers free Public Liability insurance (not to be confused with the usual illness cover that most pet owners already have for their pets). Public liability covers 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 Insurance case, and this is payable by the pet sitter. For full details on our Insurance cover, click here.If you believe that any incident is covered under the Insurance Services, 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!
