ABOUT US

Flying Solo is proudly based in St. Paul, MN.

Dee Ryan, the owner, saw the need for a concierge service that provides support during life’s big challenges.

With over 30 years of experience in hospitality, customer service, and healthcare, we’re here to offer reliable, compassionate help when you need it most.

A Word from Founder, Dee Ryan…

“I created Flying Solo to help those with limited or no support nearby. As someone who faced multiple surgeries alone, In my mind I kept wondering “How am I going to do this”.  I experienced firsthand the challenges of uncertainty, recovery, and the stress of doing it all without help.  

Later, as a caregiver for my aging parent and  two friends going through chemo, I realized how a well prepared support network makes all the difference!”

Common Questions

In what ways can this service be tailored to meet my specific needs?

We keep our client base small to stay flexible. We start with a video or phone call so you can see if personalized help feels right, then follow up with an in-home meeting to create a plan tailored to your needs for peace of mind.

What Services Are Recommended For Surgeries or Treatments?

Before surgery, we’ll sit down to review your doctor’s instructions and focus on home prep like furniture rearranging and meal planning. Once you’re home, we’ll help with daily check-ins, light housekeeping, grocery shopping, medication pick-up, appointment reminders, and pet care— these are just a few things Flying Solo can handle while you recover.

How Does This Service Support Seniors?

Our customized tasks are focused on recommendations from AARP.org, MinnesotaHelp.info, hhs.gov, mn.gov-senior-linkage-line and USA.gov.  We offer home upkeep, companion support, organizing and moves, errands, appointment help, and pet care.

How Can The Service Help Me After Birth?

Birth is exciting but so exhausting! While you’ve prepped with a birthing plan, postpartum affects everyone. Let us handle light cleaning, errands, meals, laundry, and yard work so you can focus on resting, healing, and bonding with your baby.

What Confirmation Do I Have The Work is Being Performed?

We send a text when we’re on our way and when we leave so there are no suprises. A paper confirmation with date, time, and tasks is left on-site and included with the receipt in your statement. This keeps everything transparent for planning, time tracking, and billing.
