Caring for the Caregivers Who Do It All

Care That Gives You Time to Recharge

Being a caregiver is an act of love — but it’s also one of life’s most demanding roles. Over time, the physical, emotional, and mental toll can lead to exhaustion, guilt, or burnout. At Errand Runners Unlimited, we understand how heavy the responsibility can feel. That’s why we provide non-medical respite care designed to give family caregivers the time they need to rest, take care of themselves, or simply step away for a few hours without worry.

Our respite services are flexible and dependable. Our trained team can assist with daily tasks, personal routines, companionship, and light household duties — all delivered with dignity and consistency. When you trust us with your loved one’s care, you can step away knowing they’re in capable, caring hands.

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.

You Don’t Have to Do It All — and You Shouldn’t Have To

Recognizing the Signs That It’s Time to Accept Support

It’s common for caregivers to delay asking for help, often out of love or a sense of obligation. But over time, fatigue can set in. You may feel anxious when stepping away, struggle to keep up with your own responsibilities, or notice physical and emotional signs of stress. Respite care isn’t about giving up — it’s about preserving your ability to continue showing up. Allowing yourself a break helps prevent burnout and creates a healthier, more sustainable caregiving routine.

At Errand Runners Unlimited, we help families recognize when it’s time to accept a helping hand. Even a few hours a week can make a meaningful difference — restoring balance, perspective, and energy. Our team is here to support both the person receiving care and the person giving it. We create a seamless experience that puts your loved one at ease while giving you the space to breathe. If you’ve been wondering how to manage it all, this is your sign: you don’t have to anymore.
