Janet Freel looks over her list of errands for the day. She has to get batteries, light bulbs, dog food, kitty litter, and printer ink. Then, she has to pick up clothes at the dry cleaner, return library books, mail a package, and get gas. And she has to finish all this by noon because, notoriously, the cable guy is going to be at the apartment sometime within a \u201cfive-hour window\u201d to hook up service. But she\u2019s not doing this stuff for herself. This is for her clients. Freel is a personal shopper and a concierge.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ll do anything you ask, as long as it\u2019s legal,\u201d says Freel, a 20-year personal-shopper veteran.<\/p>\n
