Why Do People Trust Airdrie Home Watch Services for House Sitting Services?

To us, you, our client, are our #1 priority.  We have the experience and have taken training specifically to provide you with the service you deserve and demand.  Some considerations:

Security

We cannot prevent vandalism or break-ins. In the event your property becomes the victim of a break-in or vandalism, prompt reporting to police is critical in finding those responsible. Using our Home Watch service will give your property the appearance of being occupied, deterring any criminal activity. You can rest more comfortable, knowing that we are using specific techniques to protect your property

Mail

We can collect your mail on a regular basis in your absence. In the event there is mail you wish to have forwarded to you, we can also arrange to have this done as often as you desire.

Cleanliness

Have a light cleaning done before your return. We can arrange for your preferred cleaning service to come and complete the cleaning. Photos and reports will be uploaded to your own portal for your review.

Maintenance

Similar to cleaning, should your property need maintenance, we will provide access for your approved contractor. Upon completion of their work, your residence will be secured, and a report uploaded to your portal. Your home will be mechanically sound for your return.

Insurance

Accidents and mishaps to occur. Most insurance companies require policyholders to have their residences checked every 72 hours in their absence in Canada. Failure to prove to insurance companies you have someone providing these checks could lead to a “denied claim“. With our service, not only will you be secure in the knowledge your home is well looked after, but you will also have the proof your home was meeting your insurance requirements, should the need to file a claim arise. Please check your policy or with your agency to confirm your insurance requirements.

RVs & Vehicles

Weekly starts, where the vehicle is left to run for a couple of minutes, can be arranged for any vehicle left behind.

Above are just a few of the biggest reasons why so many people trust Certified Home Watch Professionals for their house sitting needs.
