When you are away for more than a day or two, a live-in house and pet sitter stays in your home around the clock. Your pets keep their routine, your property stays occupied, and you avoid the stress of kennels or empty houses.
What live-in sitting means day-to-day
Your sitter is present for meals, walks, play, and medication if needed. They can water plants, bring in mail, and keep an eye on pools, gates, and access points. For longer bookings they coordinate with domestic staff and your security company so nothing falls through the cracks.
Who our sitters are
4 Paws is an agency, not a single operator. Every sitter is personally interviewed, lives in the Lowveld community, and must meet you and your pets before a booking is confirmed. That meet-and-greet is non-negotiable - it is how we keep hundreds of repeat clients since 1999.
What is included
Feeding, fresh water, exercise and enrichment, basic cleanup, administering prescribed medication where agreed, plant watering, and liaison with staff and security. If you need something specific (livestock checks, extra walks, puppy schedules), tell us when you enquire so we can match experience to the job.
Ideal for
Longer holidays, large or anxious dogs, multi-pet households, farms and smallholdings, and homes where security and presence matter. Lead times can be longer in peak season - book early, especially for December and school holidays.
Areas we cover
We place live-in sitters across Nelspruit / Mbombela, White River, Barberton, Hazyview, and outlying routes. Remote farms may need extra notice so we can match someone comfortable with your setup.
