Jane - Trusted Dog Sitter
Virginia - Trusted Dog Sitter
“Virginia looked after our puppy for two weeks in our home, while we were away on holiday. It’s the first time we’ve left him for so long. Virginia did a fantastic job with him – I loved that she sent videos and pictures every day, we could see that our boy was clearly having a great time with her and was happy. Thanks so much Virginia! We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Virginia for anyone looking for a Pet Sitter.” – Jenny, Redfern NSW
Josh - Trusted Dog Sitter
“Josh has been fantastic with our dog. He arrived on time every day. He has a great deal of patience and clearly has a true love for dogs. Highly recommend his services and will be rebooking!!” – Alison, Strathfield NSW
Dog Sitting Sydney
Sydney is home to some of the world’s most avid dog lovers. From the beaches of the Eastern Suburbs, to the tree-lined landscapes of the North Shore, Sydney is made for dogs. Whether it’s a business trip, an overseas holiday, or just a weekend trip to the Blue Mountains, there will be times when you need to leave Sydney – and your dog. At times like these, you can depend on Mad Paws to connect you with the best Dog Sitting Sydney services.
With Mad Paws, you can know that your dog is receiving the very best in pet care. All of our Pet Sitters are vetted by our Customer Success Team, and are experienced in animal care. They’re also trained in our new Pet Sitter Success Course, and are covered by our Public Liability Insurance. Just as importantly, they are CRAZY about dogs, and can’t wait to pamper your pooch. When you book dog boarding through Mad Paws, you’re not just booking a Pet Sitter for your furry friend. You’re also giving yourself peace of mind.
Before finalising a booking with your Dog Sitter, you are encouraged to meet them and introduce them to your dog. This will allow you to ensure they’re the right fit for you and your dog. You can also peruse reviews left by other Pet Owners on your Sitter’s profile, which will give you an idea of the service they provide. Once you’ve left your pooch in their care, you’ll receive regular updates and photos of your dog. That way, you’ll not only know that your dog is safe – you’ll know they’re having a blast!
Instead of spending too much on a kennel, give your dog the personalised care they deserve. Let them take a holiday the next time you’re out of town by booking dog boarding through Mad Paws.
Are you an animal lover yourself? Why not become a Pet Sitter? Our Sitters are based from the Sutherland Shire to the Northern Beaches, from Bondi Beach to the Hills District – and you could join their ranks!

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!
