Questions & Answers

Common Questions About Our Concierge Service

Straightforward answers to help you understand how we work, what we cover, and how to get started.

What areas do you cover in South Africa?

We currently operate in major metropolitan areas including Johannesburg, Cape Town, Durban, and Pretoria. For clients in surrounding suburbs, we assess each request individually to confirm availability. Our network of vetted providers is expanding, so even if your area is not listed, it is worth reaching out to discuss your needs.

How do you vet your service providers?

Every specialist in our directory passes a multi-step screening process. We verify identity documents, check references from previous clients, and conduct skill assessments relevant to their trade. Cleaners, chefs, gardeners, and pet sitters are also required to complete a background check before they are listed. We review performance regularly based on client feedback.

Can I book a one-time service or only recurring appointments?

Both options are available. Many clients start with a single booking to test the service, then move to a recurring schedule once they are comfortable. Whether you need a weekly cleaning session, a one-off event planner, or a temporary pet sitter for a long weekend, we can arrange it. The booking form lets you specify frequency and duration.

What happens if I am not satisfied with a service?

We stand behind every provider in our network. If something does not meet the agreed standard, contact us within 48 hours of the appointment. We will review the situation, speak with the provider, and arrange a redo or a replacement specialist. Our goal is to resolve issues quickly so you can move on with your day.

How far in advance should I book?

For routine services like cleaning or gardening, two to three days of notice is usually enough. For private chefs, event planning, or bespoke gift curation, we recommend booking one to two weeks ahead. This gives us time to coordinate with the right specialist and confirm all details. Last-minute requests are sometimes possible, depending on availability.

Is there a minimum commitment for ongoing services?

No long-term contracts are required. Recurring bookings can be adjusted or paused at any time with a simple notice. We understand that schedules change, so we keep the arrangement flexible. You decide the frequency, and we handle the coordination with the provider on your behalf.

Questions & Next Steps

Where to Begin When You Are Not Sure

If you are weighing which service to book first or how a concierge fits into your routine, this page points you in the right direction. Below are the most common questions we hear, along with a simple way to reach us.

How do I decide which service to book first?

Start with the task that steals the most time each week. For many clients, that is home cleaning or garden care. Once that is handled, we can layer in meal planning, pet sitting, or travel arrangements as needed.

Can I book a one-off service or do I need a monthly plan?

Both options are available. A single booking works well for a dinner party or a pre-holiday deep clean. A recurring arrangement suits ongoing household maintenance. We will help you match the right format to your schedule.

What areas of South Africa do you cover?

Our network of vetted specialists operates across major metropolitan areas and their surrounding suburbs. When you reach out, we confirm coverage for your specific address before any booking is made.

How quickly can a service be arranged?

Routine services such as cleaning or garden care can usually be scheduled within a few days. Private chefs and event planning require more lead time, so we recommend reaching out at least two weeks ahead for those requests.

Still unsure about the right fit?

Send a short note describing your household and the tasks you would like to delegate. We will reply with a clear recommendation and the next step to get started.
