Our objective is quite simply to help you make the most of your time while you are at home or away

In order to accomplish that goal we provide house sitting services while you're away on holidays, pet sitting, plant care and significant tasks like cleaning, shampooing carpets, lawn and garden maintenance and snow removal. We will of course collect your mail and newspaper if you choose as well as remove your garbage, turn your lights on and off and ensure your home is always locked up tight.

You have spent months planning, saving for and organizing your holiday. Three days before you leave you rush around putting everything in place hoping your home, pets and plants are cared for properly. Three days before you return you have all the things you need to do when you get home on your mind. As a result your 7 day holiday becomes your 4 day holiday.

Did you remember to put the garbage out? Do you have to pick up the pets when you return? Are there items in your refrigerator you have to replace right away? What if your flight home is delayed? All these things are on your mind when you leave home and yet they don't have to be.

Our job is to provide you with peace of mind so you can relax.

Your task is to relax and care for yourself without any concerns knowing your home is being cared for your way. When you return from your time away all you have to do is unpack.

Imagine returning home from your trip with a clean home, happy pets, a chocolate on your pillow and a small card saying "welcome home" next to a small bouquet of fresh flowers. Your mail and newspapers have been collected. There is fresh cream in the fridge and a fresh loaf of bread for Monday morning. There is no garbage to deal with, no snow in the driveway or your lawn has been cut, and you have fresh linens on your bed and in your washroom.

Now that's what a holiday should be!

That's what The Urban Caretaker wants you to have.

Spoil yourself!

What ever hapenned to that young person that would ask if we wanted our lawn cut?
