Friends and neighbors can be a great addition to offering oversight for your home for basic walk through or handling mail, but they most likely will not be as thorough as a Home Watch Professional, and typically have limited and inconsistent availability.

A scheduled appointment with a Home Watch Professional will also provide an extensive checklist and report upon completion of each visit.

A Home Watch Professional won’t be sleeping in your bed, eating your food or inviting personal guests into your home. Further, Home Watch Professionals offer an extensive list of services and will keep you informed on the status of your home by sending you a detailed report upon every visit. House sitters can become expensive over a long period of time, may increase wear & tear and rack up your utility bills.

Upon every visit you will receive an email report detailing the home visit complete with notes describing current conditions and photos when appropriate.
