HOME HAND PET SERVICES.
I love animals! I have been pet sitting for over 20 years, from highly anxious dogs to sick cats, to brand new puppies to hamsters and chickens, to your regular old every day lab. I have done it all, and loved it!
I typically prefer to stay at my own home with your pet when possible, as I am a full time artist and this helps me stay with it. However I’m open to discussing your preferences and needs and will accommodate wherever possible.
You can either book here by selecting your sit type from the drop down menu, or email me the details of your needs at THEHOMEHAND@GMAIL.COM and I will invoice you directly. Payment via Zelle is preferred, but I also accept paypal and venmo.

Homehand Home Organizing.
Sometimes things pile up. And life just keeps on going. How many times have you glanced at that pile of stuff in the corner of your bedroom and promised yourself you would get to it this weekend? Well, stress no more- the homehand is here to save the day.
I LOVE sorting things into fresh new matching containers with nice clean labels on them. There is nothing like an efficient, logical space that brings me inspiration and joy in my home art studio, my kitchen, my life. So, here’s how it works. I walk through your space and assess just how much time it will take me to sort your things, and how many containers I will need. I offer you a guesstimate quote both hourly and for the containers that I will use to sort your belongings. I invoice you for any remaining hours it takes me to sort the belongings over the originally quoted time. And you walk in to a cleared out space, whether that be your kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, or maybe even your whole house! Breathing easier, efforting less.
Email me with any questions at thehelpinghand@katylane.co today! My base fee to book this service is $149.

VALUES:
My intention is to support local farmers, myself, the bodies minds and spirits of the sweet people of the high country, from the ground up- the old fashioned way. FOOD AS MEDICINE. I create mealtime staples to nourish and fuel your family’s mountain adventures (or naps).
I am an artist of a great many mediums, and the kitchen is among my favorite art studios. My work there supports all the other artwork I do. I deeply respect and revere the artwork of farmers, the nourishing traditions of slow living, and the life saving power community connection.
HOMEHAND HOMECOOKIN’ is my effort to honor all of the above, and step fully into my values in my work, while uplifting and empowering many of “the lost arts” that I cherish, igniting the flame of what truly matters in the lives and hearts of the artists of the earth all around us.
I am grateful for your care and attention if you’ve made it this far, and I look forward to serving you.
With gratitude,
