Our Services & Fees
Thankfully, we live in an era of conveniences – where groceries or restaurant meals can be delivered to your door with a few clicks of an app. Golden GoFers Personal Assistant Services rise far above one-task options, by personalizing your service plan to enhance your overall lifestyle and foster your independence, health, and safety.
For example, we not only can shop for your food, we can put it away, prepare you a healthy meal, package leftovers for the week, and then tidy up the kitchen. No awkward strangers in your home, and we can go as low-tech or as high-tech as you’d like with your shopping lists. We’ll even teach you how to use the latest phone apps and websites for times you need backup.
From scheduling and accompanying to doctor’s appointments, to screening home contractors, to simply enjoying an activity together, Dianne and her team of GoFers excel at catering to your lifestyle preferences. Our clients are regally treated as honored friends – guaranteed. Now, that’s golden!
Hourly rates start at $35 per hour. Minimum is 2 hours (in most cases,) and time is rated per 15 min. above that. See FAQ for our Cancellation Policy and Excessive Mileage fees.
