Exterior Maintenance

A neglected exterior indicates that a home may be unoccupied or vacant. We can manage your plant care, pool maintenance, small lawn maintenance (mowing, watering), and seasonal snow removal.

Finding someone to care for a family pet while you are away can be difficult. We can provide full care for small pets such as birds, cats, fish or any other small animal in your home.
