House Watch Service
 

We're pretty new to TV and looking for recommendations on house watch services. We're going to head up north for a couple of months and would like to hear from anyone with positive (or negative) experiences. There are 3 or 4 out there that look like they copied each others services and rates on their web pages. We're most interested in reliability and communications.
Thanks for your help.
Go Vols !!

We've used Morty for over a year with great results. Cares for your home as if it was his own. He has a construction background and very handy, so he can take care of almost anything that may come up while you're away.

Try Dee Parson. She does an excellent job and is very reliable. Contact her at:

<letdeedoit4u@yahoo.com>

ditto for Dee

We used Safe Home Watch (A TOTV Advertisor) prior to our permanent move to TV. If we are away for an extended period in the future, we would hire them again in a heartbeat!

CNN is a stellar home watch at $35 a month
 

We've known of friends who had CNN Home Watch who've been so pleased. CNN goes out of their way to do extra care and their list of items they cover every month is pretty impressive. Cost is good at $35 a month. Call Cindy at 352 753 3271 in the Villages if you're interested.

Another recommendation for Dee!

:agree:

I would only recommend that whatever home watch you choose make sure they are liceansed and bonded...This will narrow your search...

I used Safe Home Watch for close to 2 years when we was Part timers. Excellent service and I was never worried.

Dee

We use the Village Watchdogs for almost a year. We are part timer and is very happy with their home watch service.

Ask for Bill at 585-975-9302. Good Luck!

We used Ed & Mary Edwards of SafeHomeWatch also, very happy with their services.

Its peace of mind who ever you use

Safe Home Watch
 

This is our third summer with Safe Home Watch and we are very satisfied with them. Highly recommend the Edwards and they are also sponsors here on TOTV.

Village Watchdogs
 

Great guys. Used them for about a year with no problems. They have a very nice program and tips on how to make your home ready for an extended absence.

email: villagewatchdogs@comcast.net

We use Mary and Ed to watch our home also. We are very happy with them.

Do the Village Watchdogs have a website?

We've been using Village Watchdogs since 2007.

home watch
 

We have Ed & Mary Edwards @ Safe Homewatch. Very SATISFIED with them. My grass was browning out & last week Ed ADDED 1 day of irrigation (due to drought watering schedule I was only watering 1 day)! PLUS they send U WEEKLY e mails on your property. Call them & interview them, there are GREAT & I know THEY BOTH WILL IMPRESS YOU!

They don't have a websitte. Just email Bill and Roger at the below email and ask them to send you their infomation. They are great guys and very conscientious.

Safe Home Watch
 

We use Ed and Mary at Safe Home Watch and are very pleased with them. We had a couple problems while we were away last year and they looked after everything for us.
We recommend them to everyone that asks.

Village Watchdogs Phone numbers
 

You can call them as follows (at least these are the last numbers I have for them)
:
Roger: 352-430-3618
or
Bill: 352-633-3220

They will not pressure you into anything and are nice guys as well as being super efficient.

I have found them to be very professional and dependable. They have provided us with a list of "things to do before you leave The Villages".

The above number is the cell phone number I have for Roger. I usually e-mail him with questions or notification of our departure or arrival. When we depart, they check the house in case we forgot to unplug anything, etc. When we arrive they turn up the fridge temperature and if necessary, let our home cleaners in.

:agree:

Another vote for Dee here!
 

:agree:

I've know Dee for years. She is a "straight shooter" for sure, and has many happy clients. She can offer good recommendations for dependable people in the trades.

Thank you to everyone who responded to my question and to those who sent the private messages. Your input was very helpful. There's nothing better than getting feedback from others with experience.
Again, Thank You

Just an FYI for those of you using a home watch service...

I have very good friends that operate a home watch service here in TV. I won't mention the name here, as they have all of the clients they feel they can handle effeciently. They have, however, been told by several clients recently that they (the clients) are receiving a deduction on their homeowners insurance with proof of a home watch contract. If you aren't receiving a discount, you might want to check it out.

Insurance deductions
 

I believe that is true. We operate The VILLAGE SITTER (The Village Sitter - Welcome) and have several of our clients ask us for our insurance and bonding paperwork to turn into their insurance companies for a deduction. Check with your insurance companies to see if it applies to your insurance as well.

We have used Mary and Edwards at Safe Home Watch since January and are very pleased. We receive an e-mail every week with updates.:icon_wink::icon_wink::icon_wink:
