Looking for the best home watch service in Florida? We don’t claim to be the best home watch service, but we do our best to help you in every way humanly possible. What is a Home Watch Service? A home watch service is basically a person or a group or people who look after homes while the homeowners are away, either on vacation or living in another home for an extended period of time. Some of our more regular customers have more than one home, often spending half the year in one home, then moving to the other home for the other half of the year. The most common reason for this double ownership has to do with the seasons. As it gets colder, people move to the warmer locations and as the seasons change again, the owners move again. Why Do We Need You? While you’re away, we take care of your property. You obviously can control “some things” while you’re away, but not everything. You can for instance:
Set the alarm
Switch on lights
Open curtains
Start the sprinklers
Watch your Surveillance/CCTV Cameras
You can do these things remotely. You can even have automated systems, like smart home gadgets that do most of these things for you, but, you cannot be home to do everything, like:
Controlling Access to your property
Checking for mold
Preparing your home for an approaching storm
Taking out the garbage
Doing perimeter security checks
There’s a string of other activities I can add on here, but won’t. We can talk about everything we do, when we meet. We’ll tailor a service to suit your specific needs. What are your rates? We typically don’t discuss rates until we’ve done an assessment and know what your expectations are. Obviously, the more we have to do, the more we will require in terms of payment. Time is money, so everything we do, is based on the total time spent on site. What will you do for us? Just before you leave your home, we’ll pop round to make sure you’ve followed our checklist and closed up your home properly. We’ll get you familiar with our software before you leave, so that you know what to expect from us while you’re away. What we’ll be doing in your absence:
Visiting your home on the specified schedule
Checking for any security breaches
Checking for Power
Checking all exterior walls, doors, windows
Removing post and taking out the trash
These are just a few of the things we do regularly. We also control access to your premises, board up homes, work with police and monitoring services, etc. As we said, we’ll tailor a service specifically for your needs. What kind of feedback can we expect? We work according to a checklist, which is identical to the points that we report on in our software program. As we move round your property, we will make notes and check off items on the checklist. We may use our devices on site, if the internet connection is stable enough. But, if the connection is dodgy and our data gets corrupted, we’ll use paper, fill everything in then transfer the data to the software later on. When we’re able to use our devices on site, it allows you to see us in real time, doing our inspections. The software allocates GPS co-ordinates to each device and we have our names assigned. That means - if we’re part of a team, you can see which team member was on site. What feedback you can expect:
Daily reports if required
Instant SMS or text messages
Weekly reports
Consolidated monthly reports
Email alerts
Before you leave your home, we’ll walk through your home together. You can tell us what you want checked, we’ll make additions to our software, and as anything new comes to mind, you can just let us know and we can adjust the software to suit your needs. We must do a handover of your property before you depart, otherwise it can get a bit awkward if there are things that were supposed to be added, but weren’t. Are You The Best Home Watch Service in Florida? We might be! I’m not sure. One day, you might meet my other customers and you can ask them. Conclusion For now, all I can say is that my service is based in St Petersberg (St Pete) and I serve people in the Tampa Bay Area. I’ve been doing this for years and have a loyal client base. To reach me, you can use the contact form on this site, use the Bot, or Whatsapp me. I am also on Facebook, Pinterest, Twitter and Instagram. There you have it, loads of ways to get in touch. Don’t leave the security of your property at risk. You don’t always have to rely on friends and family to look after your home. I know it can seem weird getting someone else looking after your home, but it’s better than putting that burden on them. You don’t know how many stories I’ve heard about friends and family being resentful because of having to look after someone’s home while they’re away. Get in touch with us and we’ll set a time to come chat with you.

If you’re leaving your property for any amount of time, you need it looked after.
That’s probably why you’ve searched for “absentee home watch services near me”.
It doesn’t matter how long you go away for, a break in can occur within minutes if people realize that your home is unprotected and unmonitored.
That’s why we exist.
We go from home to home and ensure that your property is in the same condition you left it.
We use monitoring software that you get access to. As we check your home, we add notes to the software program, you can login and access these records from anywhere that you have internet.
What do we do?
We follow a schedule that we’ll discuss and fine tune with your input. Our aim is to try keep the same kind of activity happening at your property, even if no-one is home.
We follow a checklist as we go about your property, which is in alignment with the checkpoints we have in the program, for example:
Windows intact
Doors secure
Any Signs of Mold
State of Vegetation
Water Pooling
Note, these are only a small sample of the checks we do while on your premises.
Each property will have different checks in place.
We normally do a full assessment before we take on any work with our clients, so that we have full knowledge of the expectations you have of us.
What do we do with this information?
Once the home inspection is done, we add our notes to the software platform.
Only you and I have access.
We keep all information strictly private and the software program itself is based on bank grade security, using https protocols.
If we happen to write any information on paper, this paper is destroyed by shredding the moment all the data has been transferred into the software program.
What if I have regular workers or contractors?
We don’t expect you to do anything while you’re hundreds or thousands of miles away. We’ll do access control on your behalf.
All we’ll need to know is:
Who they are
What they look like
What days they come
From when to when are they allowed on the property
What are they allowed to bring and take home with them?
These are a few basic questions we’ll ask you, but there are many, many more that will pop into our minds as we go round your home and do our assessment.
Why do you need to do an assessment?
Our goal with each assessment we do, is to get as clear a picture of your regular activities as possible, so that we can try and keep the same kind of level of activity going.
We need to make it look as if you are home, so that any potential criminals monitoring your premises, see that there’s activity. The more regular the activity, the bigger the deterrent is to criminals.
We also only do assessments for first time customers. Why? Because we don’t know anything about you or your family.
We like becoming friends, getting to know everyone in the family and some of your unique habits that allows us to tailor our service specifically to your home.
It would be a big signal to criminals if we did exactly the same thing at every single home we looked after.
Got More Questions?
We’ll be happy to answer. Reach out to us and let’s chat.
We’re based in St Petersberg and work primarily with clients in the Greater Tampa Bay Area.

Some people don’t know that home watch services exist. I often have to explain what a full service home watch includes.
Hopefully by answering this simple question, you’ll have a better understanding of what a full service home watch includes.
What is a Full Service Home Watch?
As is the case with most service suppliers, we all have different packages that we offer our customers, all depending on their budgets.
Most notably, you will find the following kind of packages:
Basic Home Watch Service
Standard Home Watch Service
Full Service Home Watch
In this case, we’re explaining the full service package, so let’s dive in a little deeper.
What can be included in this package?
always make people aware that not everyone has the exact same needs and the budget to get what they want.
So, for every client that we serve, we customize the package we offer. But, that’s not to say that the packages are only created when we meet clients for the first time.
We have a standard format for each package that is different for every type of home and business.
Let’s skip the first two packages and dive right into the full service package. In this package, we could include: (*NB: Will Vary)
Checking for Mold
Access Control
Perimeter Checks
Checking the Pool and adding clearing solutions, removing leaves
Removing Post and Forwarding to Other home
Putting Trash out and returning bin to yard
Checking Entry and Exit of Contractors
Reporting on Work Progress
Managing Domestic Workers
Checking Roof
Securing Windows and Doors
Setting the alarm
Monitoring the Cameras 24/7
Opening windows and curtains during the day
Leaving vehicles in the driveway
Clearing Vegetation close to the home
Clearing the Perimeter of overgrown vegetation
Boarding up the home if a storm approaches
Storm-watch reporting
Working together with first responders
Checking fire extinguishers
Checking smoke detectors
Checking gas detectors
Checking water sensors
Checking the boiler room
Securing all exterior buildings
Moving outdoor décor indoors
The above list is by no means complete. It does however give you a very broad overview of all the things we can do for you while you’re away.
It is understandable if you think that the majority of these things can be automated with smart devices.
Not everyone though, has the budget for that and not everyone wants to rely on technology to do the small things in life for them, they appreciate the fact that they still have a lot of control.
Variables
As I’ve already mentioned, we tailor packages to suit YOU, not what WE think you need.
With that in mind, it’s always imperative that we set a time to meet and talk about your home.
We need to understand:
What’s most valuable to you
What’s most important to you
What activities happen round the home on a daily basis
How often is there movement into and out of your home
What time do the lights go on and off
Which rooms are often lit up at night and what times
What cars frequently stay in the driveway and for how long
Are there any neighbours that can park in your driveway
Do you have servants or cleaners coming in
Do you have pictures of everyone that can enter your home
Do you have garden services
Do you have pool cleaning services
Do you have any other maintenance staff
What need to stay on
Do you have any emergency backup systems
Do you have an alarm system to activate deactivate
Are there movement sensor beams
How will we get access
What things can contractors bring to your home
What things may workers remove from your property
How often do we need to report to you
What times can we get in touch
Further questions take place as the need arises
As you can see, we need to get a complete picture of the responsibilities we’ll be given and we’ll leave no stone unturned in order to get as much information as possible from you, before you leave.
We don’t want to call you every five minutes while you’re thousands of miles away and get you really, REALLY frustrated, because we should have asked these questions in the FIRST PLACE!
So, when we meet for the first time, be prepared to spend at least 2 -3 hours with us, being bombarded with questions so that we get clarity on our responsibilities.
Setting up the Contract
You want to ensure that you’re covered should something go wrong and we want to ensure our business is covered.
Our contracts are simple to understand and aren’t filled with legal mumbo jumbo.
We want you to be able to read and clearly understand each of our responsibilities.
Obviously, we’re insured and will never do any work for anyone, unless we can be guaranteed that the property we’re going to work in, is insured.
Is the Business Bonded?
Our Business is fully insured and bonded, as well as being part of the national home watch association.
The NHWA (National Home Watch Association) is the governing body of all the home watch services in the USA.
Should you ever have an issue with our service, they are the people you can get in touch with to mediate any issues.
Conclusion
I hope that the explanation given above about what a full service home watch is, has been successful.
If you are still left wondering what a full service home watch service is, then please get in touch with us. I will be more than happy to further clarify it for you.
From what I’ve explained above, I hope it makes sense. A full service just means that a whole lot more gets done around the property. Obviously, the more time we have to spend on a property, the higher the rates will be, and the more responsibilities we’re given, the higher the risk for us and thus, the higher the rate.
Like I’ve already mentioned, there’s no cookie cutter packages here, we tailor each one to suit your specific needs, because no two homes are the same.

Do you have more than one property or are you going on vacation? You may be wondering: “Is there a home watch near me?”
There probably are a number of people willing to look after your home and offer a home watch service in your area, but we’re based in St Petersburg, Florida.
The area we focus on serving is the St Petersburg, Tampa Bay and closely surrounding Areas.
What does a home watch service do?
We come to your home, before you go away on vacation or move to your other property.
We help you go through your home and close it up properly. If you don’t want us to come walk you through the home close up process, you can download our handy checklist and do it yourself.
Once you have closed up your home, we’ll look after your property while you are away.
We’ll make it look like someone is still at your property while you’re absent by following the same kind of routine that you did while you were home.
This can include:
Opening and closing windows
Drawing the curtains
Switching lights on and off
Removing post and newspapers
Letting the garden service work
Parking a vehicle in the driveway
Allowing contractors on site to work
Letting domestic workers access the premises
Doing regular shopping for home essentials
Keeping the vegetation trimmed
Home repairs
Washing and cleaning the driveway
Washing the vehicle outside
Putting the garbage out and bringing the bin in
Checking AC
Ensuring the thermostat is on
Making sure faucets are properly closed
Running vehicles and other machinery
Checking for mold and insects
Gathering flowers from the garden, etc, etc
We try to make it look as normal as possible. A continuation of life as normal as possible in your absence, so that no-one gets the idea that your home is empty.
Why do I need a Home Watch?
You don’t need a home watch service, but relying on your home security system alone, leaves your home security open to blind spots.
Your cameras and sensors do have blind spots and there are certain things that only people can do, like being active and moving round the house.
Human movement is necessary to deter criminals who are possibly watching homes in your neighborhood, to see which ones are vacant so that they can either vandalize or squat on the premises.
Why Should I Trust You?
I understand that you may be very apprehensive about letting a stranger(s) into your home, but rest assured, my team and I have no intention of doing anything other than look after your home.
Getting Our Existing Customer’s Permission First - Privacy
We’ve been at this game a while and may let you speak to our existing customers, we first need to get their permission.
We respect their privacy and will respect yours too!
Think about it, would you want some stranger calling you to ask about the service you’re getting from your barber? I doubt it.
In the same vein, we’re not going to disrespect our existing customers.
We won’t let a total stranger call them asking questions about our service because that will ruin the relationship we have.
We don’t share any details about our customers whatsoever, unless they allow it.
Remember, we mentioned privacy and respect. At our core, we believe that’s what every person and business needs in this world.
You will see clauses in all our contracts about privacy and non-disclosures.
How Will I Be Protected if Something Goes Wrong?
We’re fully insured and bonded, while also being registered with the National Home Watch Association. (NHWA)
If anything, they should be your first contact if you’re trying to find out if we’re reputable or not.
Everyone needs to do their due diligence before letting strangers into their home.
So, how about just inviting us over for a cup of tea. Get to know us and let’s see if we can help you.
If you’re uncomfortable inviting us into your home, how about we meet somewhere neutral, like a coffee shop, a park or anywhere public, where you might feel more comfortable, so that we can discuss your needs.
There is no easy way to build trust and gain your confidence. The best way for anyone to feel comfortable with other people, is by asking round and getting a gut feel for the other person or business.
That’s why we suggest meeting first - away from your home.
When you’ve done your research, spoken to the NHWA and maybe one or two of our clients, (if they consent!), then we can talk business.
How will I know what you’re doing from day to day?
We’ve already gone through the home close up process above. Another part of the home close up process involves us showing you how our reporting software works.
The software can be downloaded for desktop, tablets, iOS and Android devices or any device that can connect to the web.
What we do is configure the type of package that you want, and each package comes with some pre-configured checks that we do on each visit to your home.
Each package has different visit frequencies and a different number of checks.
Some things we’ll check for instance are:
Doors secure
Windows secure
Gates locked
Signs of entry round the perimeter
Mold
Insect infestations
Lights working
Water leaks
Condition of exterior
Condition of outer buildings
No vagrants
Outdoor décor
Security systems
AC and heaters
The above are mere examples of items we check. As we said above, each package is different just like the needs of each home is different.
We can tailor each package to your specific needs, but we always start off with a template, then add and remove services as needed, before agreeing on a final cost with you.
Reporting
While we go through the software with you, you will need to decide what type of report you want to receive, how often and at what time.
The software is on the devices we have with us when we go to your home. The same checklist we agreed to while we were together closing your home, is the same checklist we use to check your home on each visit.
Whenever you have the time, wherever you are, you can log in and see what we’re doing in real time.
We’re available to chat in the software program, via email, WhatsApp, Messenger in Facebook, or you could just pick up the phone and call us.
If you want to learn more about the software and how it works, go watch this quick video that shows you.
Conclusion
Next time you’re wondering if there’s a home watch near me, take what we’ve said here, into consideration.
You don’t have to disrupt the lives of your friends and inconvenience your family.
There are some super, reliable and trustworthy home watch service businesses out there.
Do your research and don’t let anyone waltz into your home.
First meet, get to know them and then decide if they’re the right people for you.

Home check services are specific point by point inspections or checks done on a property, to make sure it’s safe and secure.
It’s a service designed for people who own one or more properties.
If you own any number of properties, you obviously want them to be taken care of because they’re expensive investments.
If you happen to travel a lot or, if you spend time in summer homes and then move as the seasons change, then you probably want the vacant property to be taken care of in your absence.
That is what home check services are for. We are people who look after properties while you’re away.
What is a Home Check?
A home check, is a point by point check of important areas of the home.
It includes important services and things that need to be in place for the home to remain secure and structurally sound.
Let’s go into further detail shall we.
Seasonal Work - Summer
From May to October its Summer weather in Florida, which can be extreme. At this time of year, there’s a lot of rain and strong wind.
It’s Hurricane Season!
With the high humidity levels come threats to your home, especially all the wooden bits.
The extra water and warmth in the atmosphere is the perfect breeding condition for mold, mildew and wood rot.
The added humidity and warmth means that weeds and other plants have explosive growth spurts.
More vegetation, means more insects, bugs and other pests that are unwelcome at this time of year.
Our Main Duties in Summer
In Summer, we’re quite busy because of storms, wind and of course other pests.
Our focus points at this time of year are:
Checking for mold
Checking for insect infestations
Checking the roof for loose tiles, etc
Checking for proper drainage
Checking window and door seals
Checking for water damage
Ensuring the interior of the home is watertight
Checks for overgrown vegetation
Working with landscapers
Working with Building maintenance contractors
These are some of the important points we focus on at this time of the year.
As the season progresses, the insects become less, but mold continues.
We stay vigilant and always keep track of any incoming storms so that we can prepare any properties if necessary.
As a bonus for the summer season, criminals are more active, which means the chances of burglaries are up too.
We work in tandem with security teams to monitor your home and always respond if the alarm activates or we spot any suspicious activity on surveillance cameras.
Winter Checks
From November to April, things tend to wind down and the winter months tend to be rather mild in Florida when comparing to other areas of the USA.
In Winter, we do most of our preventative maintenance in preparation for the coming Summer months.
What checks do we focus on in Winter?
As we said, we aim to do preventative maintenance at this time of year, so we’ll look for:
Mold
Water Leaks
Water Damage
Loose Roof Tiles
Seals round doors and windows
Where paint is needed
Where drainage needs to be improved
Getting new boards and protective barriers
Improving ventilation
We’ll take a holistic look at your property, see where things went awry in Summer and take remedial action to ensure repairs are made.
It’s always better to be prepared or take action early on, than wait for things to get really bad before repairing them.
The longer you leave a problem, the more expensive the final repair will be.
We work with a group of home repair contractors who offered us a number of discounts for referring new business.
We’ve checked their work and found them to be proficient, their quality of work is great and they communicate in a professional manner.
Equipment and Machinery Checks
As an optional service, we ensure that all equipment and machines are run or are active for a certain amount of time every week for them to remain in working condition and of course to avoid “nasty surprises”.
What we do is make sure these things are left to run for a specific period of time every week:
Taps or faucets
Garbage disposal units
Fans
Air conditioners
Toilets
Cars
Golf Carts
Pool Pumps
Washing machine
Tumble dryer
Dishwashers
Without these items being used for extended periods of time, there could be a number of problems that develop.
You could expect anything from cracked rubber seals, to cracking water pipes, flat batteries or complete equipment failure if they’re not used.
That’s why we make this an additional service that you can choose.
Close Up - Home Check
A very important part of your departure is ensuring that you leave your home in a state that you want to find it in when you return.
What we often do for our customer is pop round and go through our handy checklist.
Some of the things we make sure of are:
Windows latched and secure
Doors secure
A/C or humidistat reset
Security system active
Water faucets properly closed
Water heater off
Garbage removed
Newspapers stopped
Postage forwarded or put on hold
If you don’t want the hassle of stopping your mail or newspapers arriving. We can remove them from the postbox for you on our regular home visits.
We’ll also do regular inspections of your home to make sure it’s still in the same condition that you left it in.
Owner Return - Home Check
When you return home (from wherever), you don’t want any nasty surprises, so we make sure that everything is in order before you arrive.
We can:
Arrange for cleaning services
Check that your heating systems are active
Check your ventilation systems are functioning
Check your refrigerator is running
We get water running
Ensure toilets are in order
Ensure water heaters are on
We can even organize fresh food deliveries
We can unpack and store everything too
Whatever you need, talk to us
There’s probably more we could add to the list above, but it’s just easier if you tell us what you want.
If we can or can’t offer a service, we’ll let you know.
Burglary or Vandals
If any property is left unattended and there isn’t much movement around the premises, it’s highly likely that may be seen as an easy target for criminals and vandals.
In the rare case of a break in or a vandalism event, we’ll work together with the responding security Company to assist in whatever way we can.
Why would I need a Home Check Service as a part-time Florida Resident or Property Investor?
Having a home check service in place isn’t a necessity, but it can make your life a whole lot easier.
Often you cannot rely on friends or family to look after your home, so an outside service is the best option.
Obviously you will want to make sure they’re registered with regulatory authorities and you’re not leaving your home in the hands of a criminal.
So, do your due diligence.
Benefits of a Home Watch Service
Although you may be apprehensive about using a home watch service, the risks are minimal, compared to the problems you could face without them.
We’ve often found that home owners who solely rely on a home security system have vagrants moving into the yard and squatting on the premises.
What about pets?
Some places don’t allow pets and sometimes travelling with them isn’t an option either.
We can look after them, or have a pet sitter to the work of looking after and feeding your pets.
Leave them in our care, they will be well looked after and walked every day if necessary.
