People who take long trips and those who have multiple homes are away from those homes for a considerable amount of time. This absence will make for a dangerous situation as there is no one home to deal with a myriad of things that could, and does happen. These are reasons for hiring house sitting services to make sure everything is alright in this empty home.
Criminals keep track of many homes in their area. They will know when people are not there and can attack at that time. Squatters, still in many areas, will also help themselves to these homes. The mess and theft of valuables will greet the owners when they return and this is not something that is appreciated by too many.
The weather has a lot to do with damage that can be caused to your structure. Broken pipes happen, especially in the colder climes and winds tear shingles and siding off of structures. All of this can be handled by having someone taking care of that house while you are not present. If left alone for as little as a few weeks, this cold, wet environment will produce the molds and mildews that are dangerous to health.
The house sitting service can be a single person, found through advertising or a company that specializes in this. That individual can come in and take up residence in the home and give it that lived in look and feel for all observers. They can do whatever you have contracted them for as far as yard maintenance and taking in mail and accepting any deliveries. They will also call service providers for damage or plumbing and electrical problems.
Larger house watching companies will often have many homes in your area. They will make sure nothing is amiss as they drive by. Lawn maintenance can be scheduled and, of course, they will ensure the place looks good and can even clean the inside for you. Making their presence known will help all others see there is activity that should keep criminals at bay.
Professional house sitting services will ensure all of your plants are fed. They can deal with your pets and your pool as well as that pond you love so much. The deck, in the backyard, can be kept ready for the party that can be thrown when you get back as well. They can also maintain your car for you if this is a concern.
You will notice that many insurance companies require occupation during a majority of the year. These services will help with that requirement. Some of them will offer a live in person, bonded and insured for breakage. They will keep the home as livable as if you were there and the patterns of lights and traffic will make everyone know the place is occupied.
Peace of mind will determine that this type of house sitting services is necessary. Not having problems with your home when you come back is well worth the extra effort. Damages that can occur to your home will cost a lot more if you come upon them after you have spent a better part of the year somewhere else.
