Pet care, treated like hospitality.
Paddy Paws began with a simple belief: that looking after someone's animal is a privilege, and it deserves the same care and attention as hosting a guest in your own home.
I'm sam — a lifelong animal lover turned pet sitter.
Paddy Paws is a boutique, in-home pet sitting service. That means I come to you — staying overnight or dropping in through the day — so your pet's routine, smells and favourite snooze spots stay exactly as they are. No travel stress, no unfamiliar kennels, no disrupted sleep.
Every booking starts with a conversation about your pet's quirks, routines and needs. From there, I follow their lead — feeding at the right time, walking the routes they know, and sending you a daily photo and note so you can relax while you're away.

What you can expect from us
As representatives of Paddy Paws, our sitters agree to these professional standards.
Capability & care
Sitters must only accept booking requests if they have the specific experience, availability, and capability to meet the unique needs of the pet as outlined by the owner.
Mandatory meet & greets
We require an initial consultation (Meet & Greet) before confirming services to ensure our team is the perfect fit for your pet's unique needs.
Safety & compliance
Sitters must take proactive steps to maintain a safe environment. This includes strict adherence to the owner's care instructions, medical routines, and dietary needs.
Respecting client property
Sitters must treat the client's home with the utmost respect. Sitters will strictly follow client instructions regarding home access, restricted rooms, eating and drinking, and guests.
Privacy & social media
Sitters must obtain explicit permission from the pet owner before taking or sharing pictures of their pets outside of our private communication channels (e.g. posting on personal social media).
Appropriate conduct
Sitters will maintain professional behavior at all times. Illegal activity or inappropriate conduct during bookings is strictly prohibited.
