Pet sitting & house sitting in Nelspruit - trusted since 1999

Planning a holiday or travelling for work? 4 Paws Home and Pet Sitting provides trusted, professional home and pet sitting across Nelspruit, White River, Barberton, and the wider Mpumalanga Lowveld.

Established in 1999 by Catherine Lane, a veterinary nurse with decades of animal-care experience, 4 Paws was built to give travelling owners a professional alternative to last-minute help or crowded kennels. For more than twenty-five years we have cared for hundreds of pets and homes while owners are away.

Every sitter is personally interviewed and vetted. No booking is confirmed until you and your pets have met the sitter and you are comfortable. We match people to homes and animals - we do not simply fill a slot on a list.
