Overview

Estate Management Solutions is currently working with a down-to-earth Principal in Austin. Our client is looking for someone who will not only ensure that her 3,000 sq. ft. home is clean but will also help with grocery inventory, personal errands, and puppy sitting for her two labs.

The home consists of only Mrs. and the two Golden Retrievers. She travels often and doesn’t want to board or kennel them. She has rare but occasional guests stay with her, and during those times, hours may pick up a bit.
