I am quite pleased to add my praise to others for Lynn's good work. This was the first time I hired someone who I did not know to come to the house and take care of the pets' needs. So, it was reassuring to meet her, watch her interact with the pets. My 14 year old dog is quite difficult. She managed to get a leash around my dog and walk him daily, as reported by her (e-mail during my vacation) and my neighbors. Her pricing was quite reasonable, and I would not hesitate to hire her again.
Description of Work: I hired Lynn to visit the house once a day to feed my 3 pets, pick up the mail and newspaper, take the dog on a walk, and water house plants occasionally over a 12 day period.

Lynn helped me organize my office and 'paper overload problems' by helping me to organize bills, past and present and develop a easy system that I've kept up for several months. Invaluable help in getting my taxes organized, filed on time, first time in years! My basement was overwhelming in the amount of junk and clutter. She easily sized up the job and we set up several appointments to break up the work. Lyn is funny and fun; most of all, she's very non-judgemental. I picked her because another report said, "Don't think you need to clean up before she comes." I didn't and it was fine. She looked around and could recognize how I liked to organize (what little I'd done) and could see the problem areas (out of sight, out of mind) She then developed systems to work with my style. Her $25/hr. cost makes it easier to have her come a couple of hours a month to get you into the habit of staying organized so you don't get overwhelmed all over again. I love my house again!
Description of Work: Office organization, paper filing/system development, organized tax info for accountant, garage/basement purge/clean and organization, set up Quickbooks and entered data.

Lynn is fantastic. She is highly organized and incredibly easy person with whom to work. Would recommend her to anyone for any organizational tasks.
Description of Work: Lynn helped my wife organize all her files that she uses for her work as a docent at the Indianapolis Museum of Art. She also helped us pack and unpack when we recently moved and took a large number of items we were giving away to various charities and got us the donation slips.

Fabulous. Lynn is very down to earth, no nonsense, smart and reliable. She takes care of business, is straight forward, and easy to work with. She left detailed notes on what she did while she was there each day. I came home to happy animals and mail stacked, plants still living, and felt like everything was under control. I feel lucky to have found Lynn and her company.
Description of Work: Checked on the house, brought mail in, tended to three dogs and a cat twice a day.

She comes in to feed the dogs, let them out, give them treats, and take care of my pets when I'm out for one day or longer - whatever is needed. I'm comfortable with her having the key to my house so I can call her anytime. Her pricing is extremely reasonable. I would not consider using anyone else.

LYNN WORKED WITH THE ORGANIZATIONAL SYSTEMS I ALREADY HAD IN PLACE AND WAS QUICK TO PICK UP ON THE 'SACRED COWS' THAT I WAS UNWILLING TO CHANGE/GET RID OF, BUT ABLE TO RECOMMEND SUGGESTIONS FOR THINGS TO GET RID OF THAT I DID GET RID OF. IF YOU HAVE A PERCEPTION THAT YOU NEED TO CLEAN UP YOUR MESS BEFORE HAVING AN EXPERT IN, YOU WILL FEEL COMFORTABLE WITH LYNN RIGHT AWAY, WITHOUT TRYING TO CLEAN IT UP FIRST ON YOUR OWN. I WILL BE HAVING LYNN HELP ME MORE IN THE FUTURE.

Response from JUST LIKE FAMILY INC.
THIS CLIENT WANTED BOTH DOGS LET OUT TO RUN WITHOUT A FENCE OR LEASHES AND, REGRETTABLY, I AGREED. THE FIRST VISIT WENT WELL, BUT HER HUSBAND WAS HOME AND WAS PRESENT WHEN I LET THE DOGS OUT. THE SECOND VISIT DID NOT GO AS WELL, AND I SPENT AN HOUR GETTING ONE OF THE DOGS BACK INSIDE (ANIMALS ARE OFTEN DIFFERENT WHEN THE OWNERS ARE AWAY). I NOTIFIED THE OWNER RIGHT AWAY AND ASKED FOR LEASHES FOR FUTURE VISITS (TO ENSURE THE ANIMALS'' SAFETY) UNTIL THEY WERE MORE USED TO ME AND SHE REFUSED. I DID ALL I COULD TO PROVIDE THE TYPE OF SERVICE I HAVE BECOME KNOWN FOR BUT WAS UNFORTUNATELY UNABLE TO SATISFY THIS CLIENT.
