Frequently asked

Who pays for the shopping itself?
You do. Arrangements are agreed directly with your helper, commonly by prepaid card or reimbursement with receipts.
Can help be booked as a one-off?
Yes. Many providers accept single bookings for busy weeks, moves or events.
Is this suitable for seniors living alone?
Very much so. Senior errand assistants combine practical help with companionship and are one of our most requested services.
Do helpers use their own vehicle?
Most do, and vehicle details are confirmed on their profile and during your interview.
