Sending visit updates and photos through our app
Following each client’s detailed care instructions
Bringing in mail or packages
Adjusting lights, blinds, or trash/recycling when requested

Walks: 30-90 minutes (1-3x daily)
Drop-ins: 30 / 45 / 60 minutes (1–3x daily)
Extended daytime visits: 2-8 hours
