Absolutely outstanding service from start to finish! I had the pleasure of coordinating with Joelene, the owner of Errand Runners Unlimited, for an early morning donut pick-up from two different shops with delivery to the Public Defender’s Office in Marin County. Joelene was nothing short of exceptional—professional, kind, attentive, and an absolute godsend in helping me make this happen seamlessly.

For almost a year and a half, Errand Runners has provided outstanding care for my dad. The caregivers consistently demonstrate kindness, patience, attentiveness, and genuine companionship. Joelene has also been an incredible source of support, always responsive and dedicated to ensuring my dad receives the best possible care. I'm deeply grateful for the entire team and highly recommend Errand Runners to anyone seeking trustworthy, compassionate care for a loved one.

Joelene and her team are truly lifesavers! Being out of state, it was hard to be of help to my elderly mother. Errand Runners to the rescue! They do everything from tidying up to taking mom for a fun day out to -of course-running errands! Joelene is such a caring person and very responsive. I’d give 10 stars if I could! Can’t recommend them highly enough.

Joelene and her team did an excellent job caring for my mom during her time in hospice until she passed. The 24 hour care provided by Joelene, Gloria, Sarah, Kayla, and Lena was outstanding. They are professional, compassionate and were an incredible help through the most stressful time of my life. I highly recommend their services.

Reliable Caregivers You Can Welcome Into Your Home

A Trusted Team, Carefully Chosen for Peace of Mind

It’s not always easy to know when to bring in help — and many families struggle with that decision. Often, the signs are subtle: a parent skipping meals, missing appointments, wearing the same clothes for days, or struggling to keep the home clean. You may notice confusion, forgetfulness, or physical decline. These small but meaningful shifts are often the first signs that additional support is needed. Our team is trained to work alongside families to recognize these changes and provide the care that bridges the gap.

At Errand Runners Unlimited, we believe in proactive, compassionate care that helps seniors thrive at home, not just get by. If you’re beginning to feel overwhelmed as a caregiver, or you’re noticing a change in your loved one’s routines, mood, or hygiene, we’re here to help you navigate that next step. You don’t have to wait for a crisis. Our flexible, hourly care options allow families to start small — giving seniors the help they need, and families the confidence that their loved one is supported.

Flexible Options for Families Who Need Support

Simple Scheduling, Clear Pricing, and No Long-Term Contracts

Each caregiver is personally selected through a rigorous interview process to ensure they embody our core values of compassion, reliability, and integrity. All employees undergo thorough background checks and receive hands-on training to deliver care with empathy, professionalism, and a personal touch. Our team also receives ongoing training throughout the year to ensure high-quality care and up-to-date support. 

Our services are flexible and transparent. You’ll never be locked into a contract, and our straightforward hourly pricing makes budgeting simple. Whether you need occasional help or daily care, we’re ready to step in when you need us most. We proudly serve families across Lafayette, Walnut Creek, Concord, Danville, Pleasant Hill, and surrounding East Bay communities. For those eligible, we also work with VetAssist to help veterans access home care funding. When you choose Errand Runners Unlimited, you’re choosing a local partner who’s committed to making each day safer, smoother, and more supported.

“Catherine helped my father out. She made him dinner, and helped him with some personal needs, and she took the time to get to know him which is important to my dad.”
