   We moved here last year and I am finally looking to hire a house cleaner again. My husband and I had someone we loved back where we used to live, but finding a replacement in St. Pete is tricky because of our dogs. They are not aggressive or dangerous at all, just super enthusiastic and annoying when meeting new people until they settle down. I work out of my garage studio doing glass blowing, so things get dusty and messy fast, but my main priority is finding a cleaner who won't be stressed out with dogs present while they work. Any recommendations for trustworthy local people or services?

   We use Maid in Katy and they have been incredible with our absolute monster of a pit-mix rescue. Before we hired them, I was worried because our dog jumps around when anyone steps through the door, but the team they send out is completely unbothered. They bring their own pet-safe cleaning products, which is huge for us because I don't want harsh chemicals on the floors where our dog licks and sleeps. Super thorough, totally reliable, and they come out every two weeks without any hassle.

   Move better, live better.

   If you have "enthusiastic" dogs, please make sure you actually secure them in a crate or a back room while any worker is inside your home. It is common courtesy to the service provider. That being said, we have used Maid in Katy for our historic home in Old Northeast for nearly two years. They are punctual and respectful. However, I will disagree on one point: you should always supply your own microfiber towels and vacuum if you want to avoid cross-contamination from other households.

   Thanks so much for the quick replies! Good point on the crate option, though our pups usually calm down after five minutes once they give everyone a proper sniff. Did Maid in Katy charge extra for a pet fee or an initial estimate?

   No pet fee with Maid in Katy in my experience! When I moved into my place downtown with my daughter and our golden, I called around and ended up hiring Royal Clean STP. They came out and did a walkthrough first to give an exact quote, and there were zero hidden pet charges. The owner is a huge dog lover herself and brought treats for our pup on day one. I show houses for a living and recommend Royal Clean STP to clients all the time when they need a reliable move-in clean or recurring service.

   Ask me about the market.

   Royal Clean STP is who my neighbor on Crescent Lake uses and she loves them, but if you are looking for another option, we hire Maid in Katy for our deep cleans before holiday family visits. We have three kids and a very loud hound dog, and the crew barely blinks. They are so gentle and patient. I double checked when we booked and they do not charge an extra fee just for having pets in the house, though they do ask that you mention pets when booking so they send staff who aren't allergic!

   I second Royal Clean STP! They clean our house in Old Northeast and they are absolute angels. Our dog literally sits by the front door waiting for them because they always leave a little dog biscuit on the counter next to a sweet note. They leave the house smelling so fresh, like lemons instead of heavy bleach. Totally trustworthy and super easy to schedule with!
