About Us

We help people care for their home, and empower small businesses to grow.

Since 1994, we have been matching California’s best house cleaning companies with clients seeking cleaning services based on their requirements, priorities, locations, and budgets. A significant portion of the providers and clients have remained active in our network for 20+ years.

Rather than spending time researching and interviewing cleaning companies, when you call Anita’s you are talking to a real person who can do all the searching, interviewing, and qualifying for you.

If you like the cleaning provider(s) we match you with, we can help you book; if not, no problem, we are happy to give you suggestions, ideas, or make introductions that we think we will help you get closer to what you need quickly.

Real People, Real Service

We believe there is a limit to how much you can automate or do things with technology. That’s why we limit our focus to serving clients and providers in California, and have real people answering calls, texts, and emails from 9 AM until 5 PM Pacific, Monday through Sunday.

We also know your neighborhood, because our team members are either in your neighborhood or within a 15-minute drive from your home. Cities where service providers are currently active include San Diego, Santa Cruz, San Jose, Monterey, Los Angeles, Riverside, San Bernardino, Orange County, and Sacramento. And, that’s already a lot for us, so we are not looking to expand.

Our mission is to give local service providers a platform where they can market their business, and connect them with clients looking for screened, vetted, and quality choices. We are not a cleaning company, so we do not employ any of the providers. Providers are responsible for their service, and clients are responsible for their choice.

We also ask providers for professional references, including current and past clients or employers. Because we know how much clients value experience and reliability, we also ask for information from providers that demonstrate these qualities.
