Mad Paws is Australia’s largest online pet care marketplace. At the core of our business, we connect pet owners with trusted, local, and vetted pet sitters. Whether a pet owner is planning a holiday, taking a weekend away, or searching for pet day care, Mad Paws will assist them in finding the right carer. All stays booked through Mad Paws are covered by public liability insurance.

How does it work?

1. Find awesome pet sitters in your neighbourhood.
2. Meet & greet your sitter and book a stay in their house or yours.
3. Enjoy peace of mind with photo updates, insurance, and customer support.

Since launching in 2014, Mad Paws has grown to become Australia’s largest online pet sitting community. With over 15,000 pet sitters, Mad Paws connects pet owners and sitters across the nation.

In 2020, Mad Paws launched a series of new pet-related businesses. These include Mad Paws Pet Insurance and Mad Paws Dinner Bowl, a range of premium dog meals.

Mad Paws

Established in 2004, PFG was founded by the former owners and managers of Hambrecht & Quist's venture lending business, which was started in 1983. Founders Don Campbell and Andrew Kahn have over 25 years working together providing loans to emerging technology and life science companies. Together as a team, the founding partners have financed over 137 technology and life science companies dating back to mid to late 1980's including, for example, equipment leases to Sybase and AOL. Throughout the 1980's and 1990's, they provided debt financing as part of the investment banking firm, Hambrecht and Quist. Four years after Hambrecht and Quist was acquired by Chase Manhattan Bank and subsequently merged with JP Morgan, Andrew and Don formed Partners for Growth and partnered with Silicon Valley Bank to continue to provide debt solutions that are not available through traditional commercial lending providers.
