Pet Friendly House Cleaning and Etiquette

[veda815.livejournal.com]

I've read through all the great recommendations under the housecleaning tag. Now I have a question about pets. Does anyone know if any of these recommendations are pet friendly? Are there pet people here who have cleaners come while they are at work? I have two cats and a dog who are all very friendly but I fear someone unfamiliar with animals may accidently let the pets outside or be unkind to them.

Secondly, I have never had a house cleaner and I'm not really sure how it works. Would it be reasonable to hire someone to come and just do my kitchen and bath twice a month? Or maybe the whole apartment just once a month? Is there such a thing as too small of a job?

our house uses alda gutierrez of smile cleaning, and she and her crew are utterly cool about our five cats, one dog, and a canary.

can't help with the small-house issue, as ours is big.
