The Maids North Shore, a franchise of The Maids International run locally as Donnelly Service Group under president Matt Donnelly, sends four-person cleaning teams to homes across the North Shore and Greater Boston — and several reviewers have stuck with the same team for a decade or more. A June 2026 review said the same team, #209 with María Guillén, has cleaned their house for almost 15 years, working around a cat and a work-from-home schedule. Team continuity comes up again and again. A May 2026 review said Dina and Team 103 in Newton have cleaned their condo for more than 10 years and are careful around a cat named Maggie. Other 2026 reviews name Josefa's team, Anna's team, Axely's team, and Maura's team, each praised for thoroughness and friendliness, and a May 2026 review described a gifted cleaning from Ana P.'s team that left the kitchen mopped and organized and the bathrooms spotless. The local operation has run since 1995 as Donnelly Service Group and became employee-owned through an ESOP transition in 2020. It holds a Better Business Bureau A+ rating, and the company says Boston Magazine has named it a Best of Boston winner 11 times, with The Maids International naming it Franchise of the Year in 2008, 2015, and 2016. For recurring or one-time house cleaning across the North Shore, this is a long-established, franchise-backed operation with real staff continuity — since teams are assigned by number, it's worth asking to keep the same crew if a particular team's approach works well for your home.
I have used the Maids in my house for almost 15 years. Our usual team that comes, #209 with María Guillén, is always so friendly, professional, and do a great job cleaning the house. We have a cat, and I work from home, and they are particularly great at working around and with us to do the best job. And of course there are certain weeks when other teams come, and no matter who it is, the Maids do a great job, and the administration is very responsive on the rare occasions when we have to reschedule. Recommended!
Absolutely amazing service. Team Leader Josefa and her team have done a consistently wonderful job and the customer service (I spoke with Stephanie today) is top notch. I can't speak highly enough of The Maids. Well worth the money. Thank you!
What a wonderful service!! I usually have Anna’s team but every single one has been stellar!! I have a small house but it’s hard to bend over! They leave everything sparkling!! And such lovely friendly folks - I enjoy them so much. I certainly recommend The Maids to anyone needing help cleaning their house!!
Was gifted a cleaning service from The Maids, and holy moly!! We had Ana P. and her group (#201) and they did an excellent job! Not a speck of dust anywhere, kitchen was cleaned and mopped and organized, and the bathrooms were spotless. Thank you for your service!!!
Axely and her team are wonderful! They are kind and professional, and they always leave our house spotless. The customer support team is also exceptional. They are so responsive and can always adjust the schedule if something comes up. Thank you so much!
