about us

 ABOUT US

Paws & People Co. was created with one simple mission: to connect families with reliable, professional, and compassionate care they can truly trust.

We understand how important it is to feel confident when leaving your home, pets, or children in someone else’s care. That’s why we focus on quality, safety, and professionalism—bringing together experienced babysitters, pet sitters, house sitters, and au pairs who are dedicated to doing what they do best.

Based in South Africa, Paws & People Co. is built on trust, transparency, and genuine care. Every connection on our platform is designed to give peace of mind, whether you’re a family looking for dependable support for your children, home, or pets, or a sitter or au pair searching for the right match.

Our Founder Story

Paws & People Co. was born from a deeply personal experience. Like so many families, our founder faced the anxiety of needing to leave beloved pets, a home, and the people who matter most in someone else’s care—without truly knowing who could be trusted.

After countless searches, unanswered messages, and disappointing experiences, it became clear that something was missing. Care felt transactional, rushed, and impersonal. Yet care should feel safe, human, and full of heart.

Determined to change this, Paws & People Co. was created as more than just a platform—it became a promise. A promise to build a space where trust comes first, where sitters and au pairs are chosen for their integrity and compassion, and where families can feel genuine peace of mind.

Every connection made through Paws & People Co. carries this intention: that every pet is loved, every child is protected, and every home is respected as if it were our own.

Because when it comes to the ones you love, nothing matters more than knowing they are truly cared for.

Paws & People Co. — where trusted care meets real connection.
