For work reasons, they were moving out to the east coast. While movers were going to take care of the larger furniture pieces, this couple was still going to drive a rental truck out to their new place themselves.

It wouldn’t have been safe or comfortable for the cat to go along. So the kitty stayed here in the Chicago area until they could make a return trip to get her.

This family was able to make these arrangements because they trusted Detour Services. By doing it this way, they were able to take advantage of some cost-cutting options while at the same time, they looked after the health and well-being of their cat.

It is a major lifestyle change. Sure they could use another blanket or another case of formula, but for a gift—how about giving them something they could really use?

Detour Services offers discounted service hour packages that make great presents. Imagine telling the new parents that they can always have a full fridge for the next few weeks or that their bathroom is going to stay clean. Perhaps they will choose to make sure that all their bills will actually go out before the deadline.

A gift package will let the adjusting parents decide where they could use the most help. Click here to see the options available.
