We are Snowbirds and use Village Watchdogs, a home care service that advertises on TOTV, to make regular checks on our home. It is very important that you have someone regularly check the interior of your home, and we prefer to pay someone to do that service. Of course, neighbours know we're not there, and they also keep a watchful eye.

I called the free service, The Villages Neighborhood Watch Program. They told me that they will not check your home unless there is a disaster of some type in your Village .. e.g., a tornado. If there is vandalism reported in your area, they will drive by your house, but they will not go on your property.
