Question 1

What is Home Watch?

Accepted Answer

The National Home Watch Association defines Home Watch as “A visual inspection of a home or property, looking for obvious issues.”

Question 2

Are you a house sitter service?

Accepted Answer

We are not a house sitter. Our core service includes periodic visits to your home where we follow a specific and mutually agreed upon checklist. We are in your home for less than an hour per visit and take great pride in making sure your home is as you left it for your return. House sitters are not looking to be caretakers. They are looking for a place to stay and get paid in a nice area with 24/7 access to everything in your home.

Question 3

What type of reporting can I expect from you?

Accepted Answer

Owl Home Watch will send you a detailed report by email with pictures of any problems identified upon completion of inspecting the interior and exterior of your home.

Question 4

We have a neighborhood watch program. Doesn’t that do the same thing?

Accepted Answer

Most neighborhood watch programs are passive by nature and do not provide the level of engagement with your property that First Mate Home Watch provides. We will check your property’s interior and exterior in far more detail than you can expect from a neighborhood watch program.

Question 5

If I need coordination with contractors doing work on my home can you help?

Accepted Answer

Owl Home Watch will provide access services and remain on-site for an hourly charge. We ask for at least a 48 hours notification to schedule our personnel.

Question 6

Can you help me with home maintenance services?

Accepted Answer

While we do not provide home maintenance services, we can refer you to quality contractors or vendors and coordinate access to your property.

Question 7

What is the cost to have a home watch service?

Accepted Answer

That’s a great question! Our services are tailored to meet each client’s unique needs and the specific size of their home. There’s no one-size-fits-all pricing, but we ensure our fees remain competitive while delivering top-quality service.

Question 8

Do you contact us after each visit to our home?

Accepted Answer

After each visit, Owl Home Watch provides a detailed report outlining our findings and any actions taken during our home check. This report includes the current condition of your home, any maintenance or repairs performed, and any potential concerns that may need attention.

We prioritize clear and timely communication, keeping you informed of any issues that arise during our inspections. If we discover an urgent matter, we will contact you immediately to discuss the situation and determine the best course of action. Our goal is to address any concerns quickly and efficiently, ensuring your home remains secure and well-maintained.

At  Owl Home Watch, we believe that regular updates are key to building a strong, trusting relationship with our clients. You can count on us to provide thorough reports after every visit and to be available for any questions or concerns you may have.
