About Hire Thy Neighbor
We Know How Hard It Is to Find and Be a Business People Can Trust
Whether you’re looking for someone to fix your roof or trying to find your next customer, one thing is sure: trust matters. But in today’s crowded and noisy world, families are overwhelmed with options, and faith-centered businesses often get overlooked.
HireThyNeighbor was created to solve that. We believe it shouldn’t be difficult for families to find local providers they can believe in—or for good businesses to connect with values-aligned customers who truly appreciate their work.
A Faith-Based Solution for a Marketplace That Needs It
Our team has over 30 years of experience supporting small businesses and helping families find reliable services. We noticed a gap: platforms that were fast, but not filtered for trust. That’s where we come in.
HireThyNeighbor is more than a business directory. It’s a growing community of trusted, vetted, faith-driven businesses recommended by families who care about character, honesty, and high-quality service.

We’re on a Mission to Restore Trust—One Neighbor at a Time
When families and small businesses support each other, communities flourish, and relationships are built. That’s the heartbeat of HireThyNeighbor. We’re here to make hiring simple, purposeful, and grounded in what matters most: faith, honesty, and mutual respect. As neighbors connect through trusted local profiles, meaningful partnerships and friendships can grow.
About Our Founder
HireThyNeighbor was founded by Lesley Pyle, a mom of four and “Nana” to three (soon to be four). Lesley is also the founder of HireMyMom.com, which since 2007 has helped more than 30,000 small businesses connect with talented virtual professionals. Her heart’s desire is to help families, neighbors, and small businesses thrive.
Over 25 years ago, Lesley felt called to create meaningful work opportunities for moms, leading to the launch of HireMyMom.com. With HireThyNeighbor, she has extended that vision to local, faith-centered businesses, creating a place where families can confidently hire trusted providers and where businesses can build lasting relationships with their communities.
Lesley is a native Texan who lives in the Houston area. Her faith is central to everything she does. She often shares how God restored what was broken in her life and gave her renewed purpose, something she now pours into her work and family.
When she is not running her businesses, Lesley enjoys starting her mornings with Bible study and prayer, walking her dogs, doing Tonal workouts, and spending time with family and friends.
Without a Platform Like This, Families and Businesses Both Miss Out
Without a place to connect based on shared values, families risk hiring businesses that fall short, and small businesses struggle to grow in the shadows of louder, less personal competitors.
HireThyNeighbor exists to bridge that gap because when values drive visibility, everyone wins.
