House cleaning in Denver, for homes with pets
A clean home that still lets the dog on the couch
Tell us who lives with you: dogs, cats, anyone who sneezes. Mahlet reads your answers and texts back within one business day with how we handle the crate, the door and the hair.

Pets at home
Crate, door, hair: the three rules your cleaners follow
Written once, read by every cleaner on your team, and pinned to your first visit sheet.
Crate
A crated pet stays crated. We don't open a crate, feed a pet or let one out, even to be kind.
Tell us which room the crate is in and we clean around it
A dog who barks at strangers? Say so, and we text from the driveway
Bowls, beds and medicine stay exactly where you keep them
Door
Doors stay as we found them. A shut door stays shut; the front door closes behind us every time.
Cat who bolts or a dog who slips out: put it on the pet card
Gates and pet doors: you show us once, we log it
Gates and the garage are checked again before we leave
Hair
Hair comes up first. We vacuum with a sealed-filter HEPA vacuum before any damp cloth touches a surface.
Sofas, pet beds and stair carpet get their own pass
Fur on hard floors is lifted dry, then mopped
Washing a pet's bedding is an add-on you choose
What we don't do: litter boxes, accidents on the floor, or any pet's medicine. Your estimate says so in plain words.
Before the first visit
One pet card, filled in before we arrive
Mahlet texts you a short card. Your cleaners read it in the van, so nobody is guessing at the door.
The card asks for names and nicknames, who hides and who greets, what the dog does when the vacuum comes out, and where the leash lives. It also asks what sets off a sneeze in your house, so the product list is settled before anyone walks in.
What the card asks
Names, nicknames and who bolts
Which rooms stay closed
The vacuum: loud, scary or ignored
What sets off a sneeze
The crew
A family firm, eight people, the same two at your door
Mahlet runs the schedule and answers the phone. Visits go to the same two-person team whenever we can.
Biruk Alemu
Crew lead
Takes the homes with big dogs and the stairs that hold the most hair.
Krystyna Nowicki
Crew lead
Takes the cat households and the homes where anyone reacts to scent.
What's in the caddy
The allergen product list
Named on your estimate before the first visit. Tell us what sets you off, and we change the list.
- Surfaces
Unscented all-purpose cleaner
Counters, tables, sills and sinks. Where a cleaner for the job carries the EPA Safer Choice label, we choose it.
- Floors and sofas
Sealed-filter HEPA vacuum
One per crew, with the filter checked before every home. Hair and dander are lifted dry, not wiped around.
- Cloths
Microfiber cloths, washed after each home
Color-coded by room, washed hot between homes and never with fabric softener.
- Laundry
Fragrance-free laundry detergent
For the bedding and pet blankets you leave out for us.
- On request
Water and a cloth
For glass, screens and anything you'd rather we left products off. Just say so.
Sample reviews
What pet owners write back
“Our lab sheds twice a year and the sofa shows it. The sofa gets its own pass now, and nobody has let him out once.”
Sana P.Every two weeks, Berkeley
“I said my daughter reacts to scented sprays. The product list arrived before the first visit, and the house smelled of nothing.”
Tamer H.Allergy reset, Washington Park
“Two cats, and one hides under the bed. The pet card meant nobody went looking for her.”
Zihan L.Monthly, Highlands
Sample reviews.
Questions pet owners ask first
Do I need to be home?
No. Most clients leave a key or a code and fill in the pet card. If a pet is anxious with strangers, we can start with you home for the first visit.
What if my dog barks at the cleaners?
Tell us on the pet card. We'll text from the driveway, give the dog time, and skip a room if the dog is guarding it.
Can you use fragrance-free products?
Yes. Say so on the form and the list on your estimate will show it. If your allergist names a product, hand it to us and we'll use it.
What happens if a pet gets out?
We call you right away, search the yard and the street outside your door, and stay until you tell us what to do. The policy page has the steps.
How is a clean priced?
By home size, condition, how many pets and how much hair, and how often. You get a number in writing before anything is booked.
