Hiring Cleaners When You Have Pets: What You Need to Know | DayMaker Cleaning Co.
You love your dog. Your cat is family. But you're wondering if cleaners will be okay with them running around during the visit.
Here's the truth: We love pets. It's actually part of our hiring process, we make sure everyone on our team is comfortable with animals.
Some cleaning companies may make you crate your pets or lock them away. We don't. Your pets can do their thing while we do ours.
What We Actually Need From You
Just two things:
Secure pets who might be aggressive. If your dog is agressive, keep them contained.
Let us know about your pets upfront. "I have two dogs who will bark" or "my cat hides in the basement." This just helps us know that they are there.
That's it. Your dog can follow us around. Your cat can supervise from the counter. Your pets don't need to be locked up or stressed out in a crate.
How We Work With Your Pets
We're careful with doors. We won't leave exterior doors wide open or let pets escape.
We work around them. If your dog wants to watch us clean, that's fine. We'll just keep moving.
We're patient. If your cat is sitting where we need to clean, we'll gently move them or come back in a minute.
We pay extra attention to pet areas. Extra vacuuming for pet hair. Cleaning nose prints off glass. Wiping muddy paw prints. It's just part of cleaning your home.
When Your Team Knows Your Pets
Here's the best part: we assign the same three-person team to your home every visit.
After a few cleanings, they know your pets. They know that your dog barks for two minutes then settles down. They know your cat hides under the bed. They know where the pet hair accumulates and how to tackle it.
Your pets get comfortable with the same familiar faces, and our team gets efficient at working around your specific animals.
The Bottom Line
Your pets are part of your family. We get that.
You don't need to stress them out by locking them up. You don't need to apologize for pet hair. You don't need to worry that we'll be annoyed by your dog wanting attention.
We hire people who love animals. Your pets can be themselves while we clean.
Unlike companies that make you crate your pets, we actually love having them around. It's part of our hiring process, our team members are all comfortable with animals and happy to work around your furry family members.
