Clara - Trusted Cat Sitter
“I had a great experience with Clara from the beginning. Great communication and she sent me photos every day while I was away. My cat returned happy and calm, I would definitely take my cat back to Clara knowing that she will look after her. Thanks again, I had a great holiday without worrying!” – Valeria, Potts Point NSW
Airr - Trusted Cat Sitter
“Airr looked after our kitten and adult cat while we were away over the weekend. She was friendly and professional when we met and sent through some great photos of our furbabies while I was gone. The litter trays etc were all left very tidy and clean when I came home. Most importantly, she managed to get our very timid young kitten to front up some cuddles and it looked like they had some good play time, so she obviously worked some magic while visiting. I would comfortably hire Airr again the next time we’re away!” – Jessica, Stanmore NSW
Caitlin - Trusted Cat Sitter
“I can’t recommend Caitlin highly enough!!! Caitlin’s daily updates and photos were fantastic and really helped me to enjoy my holiday not worrying so much about Kona and Lucy. Thanks so much Caitlin for taking such good care of them and for keeping me updated – the whole process was so easy!!!” – Steph, Breakfast Point NSW
Cat Sitting Sydney
Sydney is a cat’s kind of city. Whether you have a city-slicking kitty in a Surry Hills apartment, or a garden-prowling jungle cat in Summer Hill, you’re part of feline-loving phenomenon that spans from Coogee Beach to Emu Plains. When you leave Sydney for a business trip, overseas holiday, or weekend in the Hunter Valley, it can be easy to worry about your kitty. Thanks to Mad Paws’ Cat Sitting Sydney services, those worries can now be a thing of the past.
Mad Paws provides the ideal option for minding your cat when you’re away. No longer do you need to spend a fortune to put your furry friend in a cattery or cat hotel. Instead, Mad Paws can connect you with a vetted Pet Sitter who will care for your kitty in your home. Changes in environment can be stressful for your cat, and through Mad Paws, they will be pampered in familiar surroundings. As an added bonus, you also have someone who can mind your house at the same time!
Our Cat Sitters are trained in our Pet Sitter Success course, which equips them to treat your cat like royalty. They’re also covered by our Public Liability Insurance, and are vetted by our team at Mad Paws HQ. Finally, our Pet Sitters are crazy about cats, and will love your kitty as much as you do.
Before you finalise your booking, you’ll have the opportunity to meet your Sitter. This means you can be sure they’re the right person to care for your cat and home. They’ll also send you regular updates, so you’ll know your cat is in safe hands while you’re away.
Your cat deserves the best – and we think so too. From the Eastern Suburbs to the Hills District, from Sutherland Shire to the North Shore, Mad Paws has the very best Cat Sitting options for you.

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!
