Ask and you shall receive - that's the best way to describe my experience with No Nonsense aka…read moreNina. It's true! Nina's been working as a personal assistant for over 10 years and her experience managing books for several clients is evident in the way she finishes tasks even before you can ask again. She listens, asks all the right questions, and does whatever she needs to do in order to present the best options for you while making sure ever detail of each request is taken care of. And don't expect someone to butter you up, she's all business when it comes to taking care of things. Although, if you're lucky, you might score a few goodies for Christmas and New Year from her very own kitchen! Nina truly has the perfect balance between professionalism and being personal. I'd actually go so far as saying that if I were stuck on an island, I'd want Nina with me, because she always finds a way to work out of even the most difficult situations.

I can personally attest to her skills with tasks as challenging and varied as travel arrangements, scheduling, bookkeeping, bill paying, and more. She has a lovely, measured disposition that keeps everyone calm and a great (martini-dry) sense of humor to boot. All in all, Nina will help you live a more enjoyable, more stress-free life!

I've worked with Keith over several sessions to organize our apartment, and he has been fantastic…read more What distinguishes him from someone who simply tidies or rearranges things is that he takes the time to understand how you actually use your home. He then helps you make thoughtful decisions about what to keep and creates practical, intuitive systems that reduce friction in everyday life. Keith is perceptive, patient, and completely nonjudgmental. He knows when to let you think, when to ask the question that clarifies a decision, and when to offer a strong recommendation so the project keeps moving. Nothing felt cookie cutter or imposed- the goal was always to make the space work for us, rather than forcing us into someone else's idea of an organized home. After working with him, our apartment feels calmer, more functional, and easier to maintain. He is also genuinely enjoyable to spend a long session with, which matters for this kind of work. I would recommend Keith without hesitation.

Working with Keith has been a life-changing experience, truly. I tell basically everyone I know…read moreabout it. After six sessions he's not only transformed my space but my relationship to it: my home is no longer a source of stress and chaos, but a sanctuary where I can fully unwind. I can now maintain a baseline of organization with ease, without needing long weekend cleaning sessions. I know where everything is and don't need to waste time searching for my things. I never thought I could be this type of person. What's special about Keith is that he doesn't just organize, he teaches you the skills required for maintaining an organized home over the long term, tailored to you. He's trained with Marie Kondo and specializes in organizing for ADHD. He asks excellent questions in the decluttering process and has brilliant strategies for organization--I don't have ADHD but find that his methods work very well for my busy pace of life. I've developed a better understanding of why disorganization happens and how to address them and create systems as needed. All that to say, working with Keith is one of the best investments I've ever made. He's also a lovely person to spend an afternoon with, and always communicative, warm, and incredibly punctual. I'm so grateful to him and could not recommend his services more.

I cannot say enough about how much Ashley helped me at a time of extreme pressure. I had too much…read moreto do, too little time, and if I didn't get it done quickly, I would lose out financially. I'm independent and self-sufficient and this was the first time I enliste someone's help on matters like this. She made it easy for me. When I contacted her, she was quick to respond and very professional. When I spoke with her on the phone, it seemed that she knew what she was doing and had solid experience. She came across as professional and friendly, competent, clear, and ready to get down to business. I've worked in a few different industries in my adult life and have interviewed prospective employees. My intuition on these things has tended to be solid. Ashley fit the bill. She came across as professional and trustworthy. She described her process for handling sensitive information, which I appreciated. She was also very understanding about a recent death in the family that contributed to my overwhelm. We did all the work remotely. She got me up to speed on a shared password system, a project management system, and kept active lists of what we were each doing. This kept my head clear and me on task. She made things easy, and all the work was completed in time. I'm very grateful to Ashley. I highly recommend her to make your life and/or business much easier!

So, anything that I couldn't figure out a place for immediately got shoved into the garage. Well, 4 years later in planning for my 4-year old's small, home birthday party my procrastination gave me a nice wake-up call. Waking up in a cold sweat (and traveling for work, to boot!) I had to figure out how to plan this party AND go through years of junk in my garage. AAAAAHHH. Enter Jamie from Herding Cats Concierge. We first met after work to discuss the details (She went out of HER way to meet with me. How awesome is that?). Then, she came over on the weekend when I banished the boys from the house. It was almost like meeting with a therapist. Did I need that box of junk that I didn't look at for 4 years. YES! (Well, ok...maybe not.)Do I really need this large box that used to hold our Mac when we first bought it? NO! Ok, I'll strong-arm the hubby to get rid of it (Read: Asked very nicely). On and on. One box at a time. Jamie was ultra patient and understanding. (that pantry photo is mine. have to post the before photo). Overall, I plan on contacting Jamie again. AND, I plan on giving friends the gift of her services! (Yes, my good friends. I have judged your homes/apartments. Sorry!) So I give Herding Cats Concierge two thumbs up, a fist bump, a high five and a race around the garage (that is now easier to run around in--ask my 4 year old).

Simply put, Jamie gets a very wide range of stuff done very well, on time, every time…read more I'm self-employed and the administrative side of my business overwhelms me every few months, like clockwork. **But not since I hired Jamie.** She's an exceptional virtual assistant - she's set up and maintains my digital files, handles basic website matters, billing/expense-related issues, and a heck of a lot more. Her strong business background means she "gets it". She's accustomed to running a tight ship - plus efficient, friendly, non-judgmental, and extremely trustworthy. I trust her with my credit card number, my ssn, and all kinds of confidential information. Whatever your organizational/administrative/nagging needs are, toss them Jamie's way. You'll be so glad you did.

Oh my God, where do I start? When I recently had to move and downsize from a house to an apartment,…read moremy cousins gave me a present of 10 hours with their organizer, Chelsy. At first I was reticent as I thought I needed to go through every single piece of paper and how could someone else help me? WELL... Chelsy helped box up everything and helped me decide what to keep, what to recycle, what to donate (she even took care of bringing stuff to various places that accept donations), what to shred (yep, she took care of that too). She was part organizer, part therapist. AND then she came to my apartment after the movers arrived and basically set everything up (with and without my help), came back on other days, framed and hung prints, AND the best is yet to come: I had to go out of town several days later, and Chelsy came to my apartment while I was gone (yes, I gave her the keys - she's VERY trustworthy) and continued to take my life out of boxes and set up my apartment. I returned last night from my trip and expected to walk in the door and be overwhelmed by boxes everywhere. NOPE, my entire apartment was set up, and the small handful of boxes of books and other assorted things I need to go through were well-placed so they're not evident, and I don't trip over them. She set up systems and organized the kitchen drawers and my closets and and and... Chelsy gave me a piece of mind, made my transition so much easier, and contributed to my sanity. I can't praise or recommend her enough. Three thumbs up!

I finally decided to give her a try and hired Chelsey/Xtra Set of Hands to help organize my office closet. She did a good job in a reasonable amount of time. I had her come back to help with my garage. My husband is a pack rat and likes to do crafts, so his stuff is all over the place! The garage was full to the brim with stuff! She cut right through it and quick! She separated all the alike stuff in different piles. Cleaned up the garbage and bagged all the goodwill stuff and then she asked me what I wanted to keep/needed and what I wanted to donate or throw away. I am very happy with the way everything looks and how organized things are! I was amazed how quick she went through stuff and she even took my goodwill items! Most recently I had her back to organize my kitchen. The kitchen was so cluttered, there was too much stuff on the counters and I just didn't have time to deal with it and didn't know where to put everything. The top of the refrigerator was full of boxes and cereal. She put everything in very nice baskets, labeled them and got all the stuff off the counters. She got baskets for the pet stuff in the cabinet and suddenly, I had all this room! It is such a relief and now I have a place for everything! She even brought the baskets and supplies with her. The kitchen looks sooo clean and clutter free now, I just love it!!! I am addicted, I highly recommend her services. It is such a great feeling! I plan on having her come back soon to work on other projects Jeanine DiGiacomo

They took about 1 hour to move an organized small studio and just under 2 hours to move my lesser organized 1 BR. The bulk our time was spent at our new building which required more travel time between the truck and the unit. These guys were optimal and had excellent strategizing and problem solving across all three buildings (which were all different). They were also thorough in minimizing damage to our belongings via wrapping and care. This team set a new standard for me and I'd hire them again.
