Why Nurse My Pet is different
Mad Paws and Pawshake connect you with pet sitters. We connect you with Qualified and Student Veterinary Nurses — trained clinically, credentialled before they list. If your pet is recovering from surgery or needs more than a standard sitter can offer, this service is built for that.
