More things we've done, done a hundred times, in the process of doing or just won"t do :

Pricing out a 'vette rental for one month's use.

Hunting down Cinnamon Raisin Kozy Shack rice pudding . Calling stores, brokers and the like so that my client always has it on hand.

Delivered ink cartridges .

Called by a man who was without transportation and was watching over his dying mother in a hotel room. NOT! Wanted us to come get his credit card and get a cash advance for him. Claimed he couldn't leave. Bottom line, it was stolen. Yeah, let us be the ones in the video. After much questioning  as to inconsistencies in the story, he gave up. But not until five calls and three days of trying.

Shopped for area rugs in Rochester, lamp shades in Lathrup Village, discontinued curtains at all local Targets, lots and lots of grocery shopping from Clarkston to Grosse Pointe Woods.

Got many  cars detailed or serviced, took  dog to the vet, , picked up prescriptions (always), delivered celebratory muffins for an attorney to a client, delivered a pink flamingo as a practical joke.

Took clothes  in for hemming , mending , got estimates on a Corian countertop, got a file cabinet refinished, a chair reupholstered.

Found great fabric samples in Keego Harbor and Haberman's in Royal Oak.

Always in line at Costco, always buying something at Sam's ( in the morning during  business people hours.

Bought gifts for dogs , went to Kinko/Fed-Ex, went to post office, dropped off donations. Delivered document to attorney's office from Beverly Hills to Troy. . . picked up documents from client at a business meeting . Got her legal pad and pens for the meeting and called to report her daughter in sick for the school day. (Can you say hectic day on the run !)

Picked up a forgotten purse in Grand Blanc and delivered it to Clarkston, two oil paintings at an auction house in Detroit, a computer bought at a local store and shipped to Arkansas, ebayed several items.

Watched a house and 5 dogs while folks were relocating . Stayed with movers for two days and orchestrated the move while owners were out of state starting new jobs and buying a new house.

Got a call to deliver Ambesol. Didn't end up doing it , but that was unique. That tooth must have really hurt.

Found and delivered French Onion soup and frozen bagels in  emergency mode to a pregnant and nauseated woman at home with a toddler.

Prepping a vacant home for a realtor's  open house; weeds pulled, some soap and paper guest towels in a bathroom or two, a welcoming container of mums  on the front porch and maybe a fresh batch of cinnamon buns on that special day .

Picking up and dropping off school forms. You know , the ones due in June and it's almost September.

House sitting . Yep , the freezer wasn't working. How did we know?  A puddle of strawberry goop on the floor. Once frozen , it thawed and dripped via a tiny opening in the zip lock top. Thank goodness it was there as we wouldn't have checked until we smelled rotting meat. Checking freezers and fridges is now on our checklist!

Hunting down Cinnamon Raisin Kozy Shack pudding . Calling brokers and the like so that one of my clients always has it on hand.

Ordered Valentine favors ( Logo shaped cookies) for our client's clients!

Your Home:          house_with_flowersMaintained  with care.

House maintained while you are absent; heat, lights, doors , windows , trash, mail, shrubbery, lawn , driveway, all checked, checked again and  looked after as if it was our own . 

Home looks lived in and cared for . Home aired out if needed and you can even request dinner in the oven upon arrival .  You chose; meatloaf in the oven or fresh flowers on the table .

Never come home to a cold , uninviting home again where you spend that first hour trying to locate that odor. Never come home again to dead flowers or a brown lawn because the neighbor forgot.

Whether you went on vacation or out of town on an emergency, your home should be our concern, not yours. You concentrate on matters at hand.


Pets :      See our pet sitting page

Pets are cared for with affection and the utmost care. We love animals, not money. We go out of our way to make sure that your pet has the attention it craves. We look at the clock and make sure that your pet has at least  the amount of time you paid for . Then we look away  from the clock and follow the lead and cues of the pet. If the little guy or big beast is asking for more, we gladly give it. Just as we would want you to do for our assorted creatures. 


 

Vehicle Maintenance:

 While you are at work and instead of that car  sitting idle in the lot, we can get these things done:

crossfirevvvrrrrrroooommmmmmmmmmm.

Oil Change
Gas Fill-up
Auto repair
Carwash or detailing
Recall notices
Windshield chips
Dental removal ;}

 

 

 

 

 

A Few Things We Have done recently :

DONATIONS! Several companies worth. We set up donation day.
We take the bags that the employees put in their car over the week-end and deliver them to the charity of the month. We fill out the receipt and take that tax deduction back to the employee for a painless purging procedure.

Implement your purging procedure today and the charities benefit as well.

OIL changes, wheel alignments and detailing.
Think season change and prepare. We will even make the appointment . We take the car from the parking lot, drive it to the dealer or service tech, deliver it back for a peaceful ride home after a long day.

Lots of returns and purchases !
Pictures printed up and some enlarged.

Bought mom's day cards.

Dry cleaning by the bushels.

Gift cards purchased ; hair salon, department stores, discount and electronic stores.
They are not just for Christmas. Have a few on hand for giving ...or using yourself. Also consider rechargeable debit cards for Farmer Jack's to hand to students, young folks out on their own for the first time.

Tip : Tape a manila envelope inside a kitchen cupboard and slide the cards with receipt in as you acquire them. By the giving season, you are almost done shopping! 

Ordered, picked up and hand delivered spectacular flower arrangement from Birmingham to West Bloomfield.
