So after moving to Houston and been here for 3 almost 4 months. I have yet to be hired though by anyone. Ive applied to walmart, target, lowes, even McD's and nothing. So my husband's aunt has hired us on to clean her house every other week. They think that we do a awesome job and this is where this ideal came from. I remember saying before that Ive pet sit for as little as $10 per day per pet. Well I was thinking about extending it to house sitting, pet sitting, and house cleaning services. Since we only have one truck and hubby goes to school from 2pm-8pm I would have to work in the morning on the cleaning services. Then I would have to only be able to do 10-15 mile radius from where I'm at now.

But I'm still working out the details. I just need to think of a name to throw out there so I can advertise on craigslist. Just wanted to see if anyone could give me there opinions on this.
 
l clean houses! Been doing it part time for 22 yrs!! i don't have a business name for myself. Do you know I have never advertised in 22 years! Got my 1st customer and it all snowballed from there. I also take care of houses for people that go up north for the winter. It is a good gig!!! Good luck with it! I know of a company that is long defunct..their name was Whiteglove Cleaning Services(you know the white glove test for dust and dirt). I thought that was a good name.
 
i think it's a good idea. my mom did it for years
and the same as the other comment, she never advertised.
got one client and all others by referral!
 
My wife and her friend were going to start doing this, honestly a service like that is all word of mouth, get a small customer basis going, friends and family, and tell them to branch out to their friends and let it escalate from there. and now that there is facebook and such it is not a problem at all to get the word out about your business! :)
