  • Yep! The wonderful thing about Alfred service is the relationship of trust that develops between you and your Alfred. Your dedicated Alfred will get to know you and your preferences better over time. Our Alfreds are human and take time off occasionally, in which case we will notify you ahead of time, introducing you to your temporary Alfred, who is also a full-time, trained employee.
