We have used Villages Watchdogs for the past seven years.
If we are in a hurry when we leave TV for an extended period of time, they make sure everything is shipshape for us.
They check our home weekly while we're gone, and before we return, they turn the fridge up, the hot water on, etc.
We trust them.

Add us to the list of satisfied Lighthouse Homewatch customers. We never worry about the place. Jessie takes care of ours.

We also give an excellent rating to Charlene and Steve at The Village Sitter.

We pay 40.00 for the Village sitter. There are some extra fees if you need extra services for letting people in or like 1.00 to replace a light bulb!!! They come once a week and give you a detailed inspection sheet!!!! Lots of free services included with their services!!! Sweeping cobwebs, dead bugs, killing fire ants all included!!! Really great service and when we visit the house looks LIVED in!!! Clean and beautiful!! I CAN NOT BRAG ENOUGH ON THE VILLAGE SITTER!!!

Same here have had three other homewatch companies that i have left for good reasons..Charlene and Steve are better than family watching your home...

I looked at your website.
I can't find a page about the rates you charge.
I'm not great with computers so perhaps I'm missing it.
I assume you have a standard monthly rate for Housewatch?

We have superb references.
Thanks for the info on your rate.
I love the fact that you would email pictures.
I often wonder how our trees and shrubs and lawn are doing.
Weekly pictures would certainly add a level of security and comfort when we're far, far away.

We also used Charlene and Steve for the past 18 months. They are great and always go above and beyond. We are now full time and I am not sure we do as good a job inspecting our home and yard. You will not be sorry if you choose them.
