What is a home concierge service?

Home concierge services are practical, non-medical help around the house: grocery runs and errands, laundry, light handyman work, pet and plant care, home watch visits, and everyday support for seniors who want to stay comfortably independent. The Tidy Sister bundles all of it under one trusted Gresham team, quoted up front and scheduled around your life.

Home concierge is our answer to a simple problem: a home generates more small jobs than any one person has hours for, and hiring a different stranger for each one gets old fast. The Tidy Sister has been trusted inside Gresham homes since February 2015, and concierge extends that trust to everything else the house needs: errands, laundry, odd jobs, pets, plants, and a watchful eye when you travel.

Before the list, the boundary, because it matters more than anything below it. Everything we do is non-medical. We never provide medical care, personal hygiene assistance, medication administration, or mobility support, and we never will. When a family needs those services, we say so plainly; what we offer alongside them keeps a home safe, stocked, and pleasant to live in.

Everything here comes from one licensed and insured team and is quoted up front like our cleaning. Browse the sections below, or call and describe your week. We will tell you honestly what we can take off it.

Around the House

Light Bulbs & Small Replacements

Yes, we really will come change a light bulb, and no job on this page is too small to call about. We swap burned-out bulbs, including the ones over the stairwell that need a ladder you do not own, and we handle the little replacements that quietly pile up: furnace filters, refrigerator water filters, batteries in remotes, clocks, and thermostats. No right bulb on hand? We can pick one up on the way. Most clients bundle these into a visit already happening.

  • Bulbs, filters, and batteries
  • High and awkward fixtures included
  • Parts picked up on the way

TV Mounting

We mount flat screen TVs on standard interior walls: find the studs, hang the bracket you have chosen, level it, and tidy the visible cables so the wall looks finished. If you have not bought a mount yet, we can pick one up as part of the errand. The honest limit: we do not run power or cable inside the wall. Concealed wiring is electrical work for a licensed electrician, and we would rather say that than improvise behind your drywall.

  • Anchored to studs and leveled
  • Visible cables tidied
  • No in-wall wiring, ever

Light Handyman & Odd Jobs

This is the running list on your fridge: pictures hung straight, shelves and curtain rods installed, wobbly cabinet handles tightened, flat pack furniture assembled, a sticking door eased, a toilet seat swapped. We bring basic tools, a careful pace, and respect for the home we are working in. The boundary is firm and we name it early: nothing structural, no plumbing, no electrical, and nothing that requires a contractor license. When a job crosses that line, we stop and say so instead of pretending otherwise.

  • Pictures, shelves, and rods hung
  • Flat pack furniture assembled
  • Referrals when a job needs a licensed pro

Making Beds & Linen Changes

Fresh sheets are a small luxury that takes a surprising amount of wrestling, especially with a heavy duvet or a bad back. We strip beds, launder the linens or set them aside for laundry day, and remake everything with proper corners, including guest rooms before company arrives and after they leave. For seniors and anyone coming out of a hard season, a freshly made bed on a schedule makes home feel cared for. It pairs naturally with laundry and any cleaning visit.

  • Beds stripped and remade
  • Guest rooms turned over
  • Heavy duvets handled

Trash & Recycling Management

We roll your carts to the curb on pickup day and bring them back in, sort recycling and glass the way Gresham collection actually requires, and rinse bins when they need it. It sounds minor until you are out of town on pickup week, recovering from surgery, or staring down an icy driveway in January with a full cart. As a standing add-on or a quick stop on our route, it keeps the house running without you thinking about it.

  • Carts out and back on pickup day
  • Recycling sorted correctly
  • Bins rinsed when needed

Smoke Detector Battery Testing & Replacement

Twice a year, someone should press every test button in the house, and it should not have to be you on a wobbly chair at midnight when the chirping starts. We test each detector, replace batteries in battery powered units, and flag any unit past the replacement age printed on its back so you can plan for a new one. We never touch the wiring on hardwired systems; that is electrician territory. A quick add-on to any visit, and one that genuinely matters.

  • Every detector tested
  • Batteries replaced in battery units
  • No hardwired electrical work

Errands & Daily Living

Grocery Shopping

Send us your list and we shop it the way you would: your store, your brands, produce actually checked, substitutions confirmed by text before we guess. Back at the house we unpack, put everything away where it lives, and leave the receipt on the counter. Many clients set up a standing weekly run so the fridge simply stays stocked, which is gold for seniors, new parents, and anyone whose week is already spoken for. It is one of our most requested concierge services.

  • Your store, your brands
  • Substitutions confirmed by text
  • Put away, receipt on the counter

General Errands

Think of us as the person you would send if you could be in two places at once: pharmacy pickups, post office lines, dry cleaning, store returns, donation runs to the thrift shop, library holds. We batch errands so one trip covers several stops, and we keep receipts for everything. What we do not do is anything that legally requires your signature or your presence, and we will tell you honestly when an errand is one only you can run.

  • Pharmacy, post office, and returns
  • Stops batched into one trip
  • Receipts kept for everything

Laundry: Wash, Dry, Fold, Put Away

The full cycle, in your machines, with your detergent and your preferences noted on the first visit. We sort properly, read the care labels, hang what should never see a dryer, and return everything to drawers and closets instead of leaving mystery piles on the bed. Bedding and towels are part of the job, not an extra favor. On a recurring schedule, laundry pairs beautifully with a cleaning visit, so the whole house resets at once and you get your Sunday back.

  • Care labels actually read
  • Folded and put away, not piled
  • Bedding and towels included

Companionship & Senior Support

Non-Medical Personal Services

Practical, everyday support for adults who want to stay independent at home: light cleaning, laundry, errands and grocery runs, a safe and tidy living space, and friendly company on a schedule the family can count on. We state the boundary plainly because it protects everyone. We are not caregivers or a home health agency, and we never provide medical care, personal hygiene assistance, medication administration, or mobility support. If those needs arise, we say so kindly and point you toward the right professionals.

  • Light cleaning and laundry
  • Errands and grocery runs
  • Strictly non-medical, always

Companionship & Wellness Check-Ins

Sometimes what a household needs most is a familiar face at the door on a regular day. Companionship visits are unhurried: conversation over coffee, a hand with the mail, a check that the fridge is stocked, the trash is out, and the house feels right. For family living far away, we follow each visit with a quick text or call so you know how it went. It is never medical monitoring; it is a dependable, caring set of eyes on someone you love.

  • Scheduled visits, familiar face
  • House checked and lightly tidied
  • Family updated after each visit
Get a quote for this

Home & Property Watch

Home Watch

When you are away for a few weeks or the whole gray season, we visit your home on a schedule and actually look: doors and windows secure, ceilings and under-sink cabinets dry, no signs of pests, mail and packages brought inside before they advertise an empty house. Northwest winters are hard on unoccupied homes, and a leak found in week one is a different story than one found in March. After every visit you get a short report with photos.

  • Leak, pest, and security checks
  • Mail and packages brought in
  • Photo report every visit
Get a quote for this

House Sitting

House sitting goes a step beyond home watch: longer, fuller visits that keep the household genuinely running while you travel. Plants watered, pets fed and walked, curtains and lights varied so the place looks lived in, newspapers and flyers cleared before they pile up. We build the visit pattern around your trip, and overnight arrangements can be discussed when we put your quote together ‹confirm›. It all comes from the same insured team that may already clean your home.

  • Longer visits, lived-in look
  • Plants, pets, and mail in one stop
  • Built around your trip
Get a quote for this

Plant Maintenance

Your plants have opinions, and we follow them. Leave us your watering notes and we keep houseplants, container gardens, and porch pots alive and well while you travel, or as a standing part of a regular visit. We water on schedule rather than on guilt, rotate pots toward the light, deadhead what is fading, and tell you honestly if something is struggling before it fades for good. In an Oregon August, hanging baskets can need water daily; we plan around that instead of hoping.

  • Watering to your notes
  • Houseplants, containers, porch pots
  • Honest updates on strugglers

Outdoor & Farm

Landscaping Help

Yard help, not a landscaping contract: weeding beds before they go feral, planting annuals, raking and bagging leaves, cutting back the blackberry vines that treat every fence line as an invitation, sweeping walks, general outdoor tidying. Fall in this valley buries a yard faster than one Saturday can fix, and we are glad to be the extra set of hands that keeps you ahead of it. We do not do tree work, irrigation, or hardscaping; anything needing a licensed landscape contractor gets referred to one.

  • Weeding, planting, bed upkeep
  • Leaf raking and cutback
  • No tree work or hardscaping
Get a quote for this

Farm Tasks

Out toward Sandy, Boring, and Damascus, plenty of our clients live on acreage, and acreage does not take days off. We help with the recurring chores: feeding rounds, hauling water, mucking stalls and coops, moving feed and bedding, checking gates and fence lines, tidying barns and outbuildings. Whether you need a standing weekly hand or coverage while you travel, we show up in boots and are not precious about mud. Heavy equipment and large scale agricultural work are outside our scope.

  • Feeding rounds and water hauling
  • Stalls, coops, and barns mucked
  • Gate and fence line checks
Get a quote for this

Roof & Gutter Cleaning

Fir needles and moss do not care about your schedule, and by late October most Gresham gutters are full of both. We scoop and flush gutters, clear downspouts, and remove moss and debris from reachable rooflines so winter rain goes where it should. Our scope stays deliberately ground and ladder safe: single story and easily reached areas only ‹confirm›, never steep pitches that call for a roofing crew. When a roof needs one, we will say so and help you find it.

  • Gutters scooped and flushed
  • Downspouts cleared
  • Ladder-safe scope, honest referrals
Get a quote for this

Pets

Pet Sitting

Drop-in visits that keep your pets on their own schedule in their own home: feeding to your instructions, fresh water, litter boxes scooped, backyard time, and the kind of unhurried attention that keeps an anxious animal settled while you are gone. We send photo updates because we know you will be checking your phone at dinner anyway. Dogs, cats, and smaller companions are all welcome, and pet visits combine easily with home watch or plant care, so one trip covers the whole house.

  • Feeding and water to your routine
  • Litter boxes handled
  • Photo updates every visit
Get a quote for this

Dog Walking

Rain or shine, and in Gresham that mostly means rain, your dog gets the walk: your usual route, your leash rules, treats only with your permission, and muddy paws toweled off at the door before they meet your floors. We offer midday relief walks for long workdays and standing schedules for dogs whose energy does not respect your calendar. We are also honest about fit; a reactive dog who needs a professional trainer will get that recommendation, not a brave face.

  • Rain-or-shine, your route
  • Midday and standing schedules
  • Paws toweled at the door
Get a quote for this

Livestock Care

We cover the daily basics for chickens, goats, and horses ‹confirm›: feeding to your written routine, water troughs checked and filled, eggs collected, coops and stalls kept decent, and every animal counted and looked over, so anything off gets reported the same day. We follow your protocols exactly; your animals do not need our creativity. Anything veterinary or medical stays with you and your vet. Popular with Sandy and Boring households who want to leave town without recruiting the neighbors.

  • Feeding to your written routine
  • Eggs collected, coops kept decent
  • No veterinary or medical care

Events & Holidays

Party & Event Support

The best host is the one who actually gets to attend the party. We help before, during, and after: setting up tables and chairs, keeping the kitchen moving, quietly cycling dishes and trash while guests are still there, and handling the full cleanup after the last goodbye. Graduation open houses, holiday dinners, backyard birthdays, celebrations of life: we work them all with discretion. We are not caterers or bartenders, but everything around the food and drink is ours to keep running.

  • Setup before guests arrive
  • Quiet resets during the party
  • Full cleanup after
Get a quote for this

Holiday Preparation

The weeks before a holiday are their own part-time job, and we can take shifts of it: guest rooms turned over with fresh linens, decoration bins brought down and put back away in January, the house decorated with your things and your traditions, grocery runs before the big dinner, and the reset after family heads home. If you host every year and dread the runway to it, a couple of scheduled concierge visits in November change the shape of the whole month.

  • Guest rooms made ready
  • Decorations up, then down in January
  • Post-holiday reset

Moving Help

Moving Help

We are not a moving company, and that is exactly why we are useful. We pack boxes carefully and label them honestly, unpack on the other end so the kitchen works the first night, break down the cardboard mountain, and run donation loads so less has to move in the first place. We do not drive trucks or carry sofas; movers do that. Pair this with our move-out and move-in cleaning and both addresses get handled by one team you already trust.

  • Packing and honest labeling
  • Box breakdown and donation runs
  • No trucks or heavy furniture

How are concierge visits billed?

The same way our cleaning is: with a free customized quote before any work happens. Tell us what you need, one visit or a standing schedule, and we price it by scope, up front, so you know the number before we start. Errand costs like groceries are yours, documented with receipts.

Combining tasks is usually the smartest way to book: one visit can cover the grocery run, the laundry, the curtain rod, and the litter box. Call the office at 503-666-2255, text 503-875-1189, or send the quote form, and we will build a visit around your actual list.

The lines we do not cross

Better stated here than discovered later. Everything we do is non-medical: never medical care, personal hygiene assistance, medication administration, or mobility support. Our handyman work stays light: nothing structural, no plumbing, no electrical, and nothing that requires a contractor license. Roof and gutter work stays within a ground and ladder safe moss and debris scope ‹confirm›; steep or high roofs get a referral, not a brave attempt. When a job belongs to a nurse, an electrician, or a roofing crew, we say so and help you find the right one.

Concierge questions, answered honestly

Can I combine several concierge tasks in one visit?

Yes, and we encourage it. One visit can cover the groceries, a load of laundry, a couple of odd jobs, and the dog's walk, and bundling is usually the cheapest way to book. Keep a running list, tell us what is on it, and we will quote a visit shaped around the whole thing.

Is this the same as home care or in-home medical care?

No, and the difference matters. Home care agencies provide personal and medical support: hygiene assistance, medication administration, mobility help. We never provide any of that. We handle the practical layer around a household instead: cleaning, laundry, errands, groceries, friendly company, and a safe, tidy space. Many families use both together.

How do recurring errand runs work?

Pick a rhythm, weekly or biweekly for most clients, and we build a standing visit around it: same day, same routine, list confirmed by text before we head out. The list can change week to week, and the run is quoted up front. Groceries, pharmacy, post office, and returns are the usual mix.

Who actually shows up for concierge visits?

Our own team, from the same licensed and insured company that has cleaned Gresham homes since 2015. For standing schedules we send the same helper whenever possible, just as we match cleaning clients with one cleaner. Over time they will know your house, your dog, and where the spare bulbs live.

How do you handle keys and access for home watch?

However you are comfortable: a lockbox code, a garage keypad, or a key we hold and track ‹confirm›. Access details live in private client notes, never on the key itself, and every visit is confirmed by text with photos, so you know when we were there and what we saw.

Can you help my parent who lives alone in Gresham?

Very likely, if the need is practical rather than medical. We handle light cleaning, laundry, groceries and errands, a safe and tidy living space, and friendly scheduled check-in visits. We never provide medical or personal care, and if we see needs beyond us, we say so honestly. Call and tell us about your parent, and we will tell you whether we are the right fit.

Do you serve rural properties near Sandy and Boring?

Yes. Sandy, Boring, and Damascus are inside our regular service area, and acreage clients are some of our favorites: farm chores, livestock routines, and home watch where the neighbors are not close enough to notice a problem. Distance and scope go into your free quote, so send the form or call with your address.
