The Errand Lady's founder,
Taryn Benson, says:
Working in the hospitality industry for over 20 years was an enriching experience. Meeting people and working with them to help determine their needs, planning ahead to ensure supplies and services were available to meet those needs, and training others in these skills was very rewarding.
Our business uses the tenets of reliability, promptness and resourcefulness in solving problems on-the-fly to help accomplish the tasks you need to keep your life on track, while also providing providing friendly, thoughtful service.
My experience in growing up in a rural area around dozens of pets and other animals helped me to learn they have many of the same needs as people, such as good nutrition, companionship, and playtime, along with comfort and peace to help them age with dignity.
Each client's situation calls for different services. All services are customized to help meet your needs for reliable errands, grocery shopping, pet care, and small business tasks. Families with growing children can have more time to spend with each other, and older people will find services to help keep them in their homes longer.
We'll change your light bulbs or install a new phone battery, help plant flowers, pick up your laundry,and run to the hardware store.
At the end of a long trip, wouldn't you love to have fresh milk, eggs, or other staples waiting in your refrigerator? And your loving pets will be there to greet you, with no rushed trips to pick them up from a boarding facility.
The Errand Lady opened in 2002 to provide help with these needs and many others.
Give us a call today to ask how we can help you accomodate the conflicting demands of your busy day, or care for your pets in the comfort of their own home while you're away!

A little background on our new service: Editing.
The proliferation of easy ways to publish novels, how-to books, etc, via self-publishing programs and the ability to sell them through on-line book sellers and personal websites encourages many aspiring writers to write and produce their work for sale.
This allows authors to bypass the traditional publishing routes, and it can be a source of great satisfaction to see your book listed on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, etc., either in traditional paper format or for download to an e-reader device.
One of the advantages of a traditional publisher has been someone else reading the work. Someone who knows what helps a book to sell. They suggest changes or edits to the story or plot to increase a book's appeal, and to spot grammar or typographical errors.
Without these other (more experienced) eyes , many of the self-published or e-published manuscripts appear amateurish. They may contain cliches, poor character development, lack of consistency, or other errors that make the story tedious or frustrating to read.
Book reviewer's comments often reflect these deficiencies and may discourage potential readers from purchasing your work. Our editors will evaluate your manuscript and suggest changes to help you bypass these pitfalls. The suggestions will also help authors who desire to submit to a traditional publisher, which remain a solid source of sales.
