Cape Town · Since 2022

Transforming pet care through innovation.

At 4 Paws Inn & Hotel we combine hands-on care with technology we built ourselves. It keeps each dog's care information together and gives families a clear daily report.

OUR STORY

From a daycare to a full pet-development facility.

We founded 4 Paws Inn in 2022 with a simple belief — every dog deserves to thrive in a social environment.

We grew from a daycare into a full pet-development facility: daycare, night care, overnight, grooming, training and a 24/7 pet shop — all under one roof, all run on software we built ourselves.

PAWPLATE & IN-HOUSE SYSTEMS

Care information kept with each dog.

We built PawPlate and our in-house systems around the daily work at the facility. The software records care as the team carries it out. For owners, that means the dog's instructions and daily record stay connected to the same profile. Alongside this, 4K cameras across the facility are monitored 24/7.

MEALS

Recorded against the dog's profile

Meal details are kept with the individual dog's profile, so the care team can work from that dog's recorded feeding information.

MEDICATION

Doses recorded as they are given

When a medication dose is administered, it is recorded in the dog's care record as part of the facility's daily care process.

CHECK-IN

Belongings listed on arrival

The team records the belongings that arrive with each dog. This gives the care team and owner a clear check-in record.

DAILY REPORTS

A clear update for the owner

The day's recorded care is used to prepare a daily report for the owner, keeping the update tied to their dog's profile.
