House Sitting & Home Watch near you
Someone to stop by while you are away: bring in the mail, water the plants, rotate the trash cans, check for leaks and send you photos. We set up one visit, a weekly schedule or a full season for snowbirds and second homes.
Some jobs are too small for a contractor and too big to do alone, like moving a couch, taking the cans out every week or waiting at the house for a delivery. We send a reliable local helper and you only deal with us.
The jobs people ask for most in this category are house sitting, vacation home watch, snowbird home checks and weekly home checks. We also take less common requests like second home opening and closing and short-term rental guest checks. All 22 services we can arrange are listed below, and if yours isn't there, send the request anyway and describe the problem.
Give us the dates you'll be away, how often you want visits, and how the sitter gets in. List anything that needs attention, such as plants, a pool, a thermostat setting or a car that should be started.
