Cat Sitting Brisbane
Brisbane loves its cats. Whether you live in an inner-city hub like Teneriffe, New Farm, or Hamilton, or live further afield in Wynnum, Birkdale, or Cleveland, you will find cats wherever you go. If you’re one of Brisbane’s many Cat Owners, you’ll want the very best for your cat. That’s why, if you’re taking a holiday, it’s important for you to know your cat is in safe hands. Whether you’re travelling overseas, taking a business trip to the Gold Coast, or spending a weekend in Cairns, Mad Paws will have a Cat Sitter for you. Thanks to Mad Paws’ Cat Sitting Brisbane services, you can now travel with peace of mind.
Mad Paws provides the perfect option for cat caring when you’re away. The days of needing to put your kitty into an expensive cat hotel or cattery are over. Instead, Mad Paws can connect you with a local, trusted Pet Sitter who will mind your cat in your home. By keeping your kitty in a familiar environment, you can avoid the stress that comes from moving them to a strange place. As an added extra, you’ll also be recruiting a house sitter at the same time!
Our Pet Sitters are trained in our Pet Sitter Success course, vetted by our team at Mad Paws HQ, and covered by our Public Liability Insurance. They are also crazy about cats, and will love your furry friend as much as you do.
You have the chance to meet your Sitter before making your booking, so you can be confident you trust them with your home and your pet. They’ll also send you regular photos, so you’ll know your cat is having a great time while you’re away.
Your cat should be treated like a monarch – and we think so too. Our Brisbane-based Cat Sitters are the best at what they do, and are ready when you need them.

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!
