Mad Paws Work–Life Balance reviews

This was a fun and productive work place where staff members were nice and engaging with all the employees. However, at times you would have to work long hours.

Easy to work with - at your own pace

Dog Walker (Current Employee) - Mackay QLD - 8 March 2020

Work at your own pace and schedule. Love working with the doggies just walking around the neighbourhood. In summer just walk really early. Winter wait till sun is up.

Also signed up a month ago and nothing.

Sitter (Former Employee) - Melbourne VIC - 18 November 2019

Signed up a month ago, did all that was asked: police check (cost money through their provider), recommendations from friends, ID, changing the calendar everyday, and nothing. Complete waste of time and money.

You are your own boss

Pet Walker and Sitter (Current Employee) - Melbourne VIC - 7 March 2019

You are able to chose which jobs you are able to do, i.e. house sitting/dog walking etc. So you set your own tasks. It is completely flexible as you are able to alter the calendar to suite your personal life.

Pros

Flexibility

Cons

They take a large percentage of your earnings

top side job

Pet Sitter (Current Employee) - Melbourne VIC - 28 January 2018

Great as a side job. Allows you to continue on regular lifestyle (in consideration). Get to meet great people an great pets. Hardest part of the job is trying balance sitting jobs.

Great to work from home.

Self Employed (Current Employee) - Adelaide SA - 4 October 2017

Best job you could have, so easy and enjoyable. It's great being able to pick your own hours, also pick which animals you'd like to stay in your own home, seeing if they're compatible with others. Overall really good environment to be in.

Pros

I am my own boss.

Cons

10% surcharge off what I earn.

Just what I was looking for!

Pet Minder ast Mad Paws (Current Employee) - Sydney NSW - 14 September 2017

Mad Paws has been fabulous and just what I was looking for. I wanted something flexible where I could choose my own working days and hours to fit around my family. I'm obsessed with animals and have done some pet minding in the past so working for Mad Paws made perfect sense. I get to set my own prices and choose where and when I work, which I could never do before. They have a great team who are always helpful too if I have any problems. Would thoroughly recommend!
