​Home Watch Is:
Home Watch is a visual inspection of a home or property, looking for obvious issues — performed on a scheduled basis while you're away.
At NoCo Homewatch, our services are customized to each property and scheduled at regular intervals based on your needs. Every visit includes a thorough exterior and interior walkthrough to ensure your home stays safe, secure, and well maintained.
Home Watch Is NOT:
While Home Watch provides peace of mind and protects your property while you're away, it’s important to understand what it does not include:
​
Not a House Sitting or Pet Sitting Service​
-
A Home Watch professional does not stay in your home or provide care for pets. Our service is focused on scheduled visual inspections to monitor the condition of your property — not on living in or occupying the space.
Not a Home Inspection
Home Watch is also not the same as a certified home inspection.
-
Home inspectors conduct detailed evaluations of a property's structure, systems, and components, typically during a real estate transaction.
-
Home Watch professionals, on the other hand, conduct routine visual checks to identify any obvious issues or changes that could lead to larger problems.
If issues are found, we report them immediately and can help coordinate repairs — but we do not perform formal home inspections.
​
​
That’s great — but even the best tech can fail.
What if your Wi-Fi goes down? Or your camera loses power?
NoCo Homewatch provides in-person checks to catch what technology might miss. We’re your eyes on the ground — because peace of mind shouldn’t depend on a signal.
My Neighbors said they would keep an eye on my house.
​
Friends and neighbors have great intentions, but we all know they get busy with their own schedule.
In the case that something happens
​
If a toilet leaks or a pipe bursts while you're away, who will catch it in time?
More importantly — who will coordinate cleanup and repairs so you don’t have to rush home?
With NoCo Homewatch, we act fast. We notify you immediately and work with trusted local professionals to handle the issue — so you can stay where you are, stress-free.
​
​
​
Did I turn off the…?
Did you lock the... ?
​
Peace of Mind from Day One
Everyone has those nagging thoughts once they’re already hours into their trip:
“Did I lock the back door?”
“Did we take the trash out?”
“Did I remember to unplug the coffee maker?”
At NoCo Homewatch, our initial visit is scheduled within 24 hours of your property being vacated, so you don’t have to worry.
What We Check During Our First Walkthrough:
-
Ensure all doors and windows are securely locked
-
Empty the refrigerator (if requested)
-
Remove trash from the home
-
Confirm small appliances are unplugged
-
Make sure everything is ready for your time away
Expecting a Delivery or Scheduled Service?
Just let us know! We’ll coordinate with your service providers or accept packages on your behalf — so you can relax, knowing everything at home is handled.
Communication is key!
A detailed report, complete with photos, is sent to the homeowner after every visit. If an immediate concern is noted, we will call you, and come up with a plan of action. Your NOCO Homewatch professional will coordinate service providers to address the concern, and be available to give them access to the home at the appointment time, and arrange to stay for the length of time required.
