How Handlenders works
From search to booking in minutes — safe, simple, and private
Search your suburb
Enter your Pretoria suburb and the type of care you need. Filter by availability, vetting status, languages, and more.
Message safely
Chat with care providers through our secure in-app messenger. Your phone number and email are never shared — ever.
Book & confirm
Request a booking, agree on a time, and confirm with a small R100 booking fee. Full address shared 3 hours before your meeting.
Review & repeat
After your appointment, leave an honest review. Great care providers earn more visibility. Your feedback keeps the community safe.
Every “Vetted” badge is earned, not given
Care providers who display the Vetted badge have passed our full three-step verification — including a live telephonic interview with the Handlenders team. We only award the badge when we're satisfied.
Your safety is our priority
Built with privacy-by-design principles and POPIA compliance in mind
No contact details shared
Phone numbers, emails, and WhatsApp details are never exchanged between users. All communication happens inside Handlenders.
Anonymous until vetted
Care providers are listed anonymously until they complete our vetting process. Once vetted, only their first name and last initial are shown.
Address revealed just in time
Your exact address is only shared 3 hours before your confirmed booking — never in chat, never in profiles.
Report & flag instantly
Every chat and profile has a Report button. Our team reviews all flags and can suspend accounts immediately.
