While You Were Away is designed to offer clients an à la carte menu to choose and pay only for the services needed while off on an adventure. From a daily check-in on your home to grab the mail and set out the trash and recycling, to a full-service pet care-plant watering-lawn cutting-snow shoveling visit, we offer just what you need. We believe returning home from business or holiday shouldn't warrant stress. Come on home, unpack your bags and put your feet up. Leave the rest to us...We'll even make sure you have fresh milk and eggs in the fridge.


Based in Longmont, serving Boulder County and the surrounding area.

About us...

Hi there! Paula and Clark Harshbarger here, we’ll be taking care of your house and four-leggeds while you are away. A little about us... We have lived in Longmont for 10 years and just sent our twin boys off to college at CU. Paula is an educator and coordinator at a local Montessori school and Clark is a soil scientist for a non-profit. In our free time we enjoy spending time in our garden and walking our three dogs around our Longmont neighborhood.
