Services

We are the extra hands and hours you are always wishing you had when it comes to your day-to-day errands. We can pick up anything from new clothes to dry cleaning to dog food to groceries and more. We can make that last minute trip to the post office, the drug store, the veterinarian, or the florist. School project forgotten at home and needed to school by 10 am? Bills need to be paid but no stamps to send them? Family coming in town and need to fill your fridge? Don’t look any further—we can take care of it.

Cable acting up? Having someone come to look at that leaky faucet? Don’t waste your day sitting around waiting for the repairs; let us wait for you. When a repair or service is scheduled for your home within a window, don’t feel trapped. We will wait in your home and let them in—then, we can either stay close and supervise their presence in your home, or call and let you know they’ve arrived. Need a package to be signed for at home? Let us wait and sign, and we can even give you a call once the goods have made it to your house. Either way, you won’t have to sit at home instead of running errands, going to the gym, or staying at work.

We are here to assist you with all your vehicle needs. Whether it’s a pesky ‘check engine’ light that keeps coming on, a routine oil change, time for your DC inspection or anything in between, let us do the work. We will pick up your vehicle from your home, take it to your car expert of choice, and wait while it gets some TLC. Then back home again, better than before.

Have a last minute trip planned to get out of the city for the weekend? Family wedding to attend out of state? You name it—go have fun, and let us worry about picking up newspapers and mail, watering plants, feeding the cats and walking the dogs. Please let us know what your individual situation is, and we can determine the number of visits to your house needed per day. You can enjoy your time away, and come home to watered plants and a stocked refrigerator, or anything else you would like to transition back to home best for you.

Ever have trouble remembering to schedule services for yourself, your home or your car? We can stay organized for you so all you have to do is show up. Everything from oil changes to dentist appointments, hair cuts to doctor’s visits. We can make the appointments and then give you friendly reminders beforehand at intervals you choose.

Throwing the perfect dinner party its hard enough on its own—throw in last minute changes to the menu, place cards and invitations, and before you know it, you’re out of time. Let us help you with the logistics—sending out hand addressed invitations for your holiday bash, making elegant calligraphy place cards for the table, picking up those last 3 ingredients for your signature pie or running to the florist for the memorable centerpiece. Let us help you take care of everything else so you can focus on what matters—the food and company!

Have a back-to-school night or a dinner out to celebrate, and worried Fido might miss his dinner? you design time to the rescue. Whether you’ll be away for a morning, a day, a weekend or a week, let us pamper the four-legged family members and let your time away be the cat’s pajamas. See our “While you’re away” service or give us a call and together we can work out the best plan of attack so you can enjoy your night out or focus on someone’s first piano recital instead of rushing back to get your furry friends fed and walked.

Have a friend or family member in the area who is elderly or injured? Let us check in on them for you. We can deliver your best wishes and whatever else you think might speed along their recovery—flowers, a favorite sandwich, a movie rental, or just a warm hello. You tell us what you want and we’ll pay them a friendly visit and brighten their day; we’ll send all the best, via you!

If you’re like us, you have lots of mini projects you put off again and again for a ‘better’ time, which never seems to come! All of those ideas you have—a photo collage to commemorate the perfect vacation; your comic book collection organized and boxed; school picture frames updated with this year’s edition. We can follow your instructions and put your fabulous ideas to fruition. You came up with the ideas—let us come up with the solution.

What could be a better gift to give your family, friends, and coworkers this holiday season than the gift of time? Don’t scrounge around for a gift that could possibly be for them, or stress about whether or not they already have one in that color, or what size they might be. Give them the most versatile gift you know they will use—our possibilities are endless and we’ll be sure to give them a holiday gift they’ll be sure to remember.
