Home concierge service
There's just never enough time in one day to finish everything you need to do especially when you're working 40 hours a week and many think it would be nice if we could just add on a few more hours to each day.
That won't work but something new could help.
GoFetch4U Concierge is a new service in West Seattle to do errands, chores, caring for pets and grocery shopping so they can get it done in no time without having to lift a finger.
"GoFetch4U helps busy people with there everyday 'to do' list," said Nicole Rummer. "Our goal is to help them free up their time so they can do the things they'd rather do, than the things they have to do."
Rummer and her husband, Jack, are founders of the service.
They previously ran their business in Bozeman, Mont.
Charges for the service are based on an hourly fee, with a one-hour minimum required. Additional time is billed out in quarterly increments. The service offers the first 20 miles complimentary and then charges for any additional miles. West Seattle residents are offered a discounted rate.
"If there's a service I can't provide, I'll recommend anyone to a nearby reliable business. We won't bring anyone into your home whom we wouldn't allow in our own," said Rummer.
Hours: 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday-Friday and also available for events and parties happening on weekends or evenings for an additional fee.
Phones: 947.1875, 1.406.599.8438
