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 insured, 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 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!
