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
Administering medication when within your experience and comfort level

Most visits take place while clients are traveling, so weekend, holiday, morning, afternoon, and evening availability is especially valuable.

Drop-ins: 30 / 45 / 60 minutes (1–3x daily)
Extended daytime visits: 2-8 hours
Overnights: 10-hour stays
