Vacation Home Caretaking

We make sure it always looks like someone's home.

Weekly check-ins with photos texted or emailed straight to you, tidy yards, collected mail, and seasonal winterizing — so your second home stays cared for while you're away.

My promise to every homeowner

This is a hands-on, owner-run service. You won't get a faceless crew — you get me, and these are the standards I hold to on every visit.

Photo proof every visit

You get dated pictures by text or email so you can see your home with your own eyes.

On the schedule you pick

Weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly — visits happen when they should, every time.

Quick word on problems

A leak, a downed branch, a tripped breaker — you hear about it the day I find it.

Lived-in appearance

Mail collected, yard kept, little touches that keep your place from looking empty.

What I take care of

Everything an empty home needs — handled

Weekly walk-throughs with photo reports

I check that everything is working — heat, water, electrical — and send a clear set of photos so you always know the state of your home. No surprises when you arrive.

  • Interior + exterior visual checks
  • Photos sent by text or email
  • Flagging issues before they grow
Mail held safe

Mail and packages collected on each visit and stored in a safe spot until you're back — no overflowing mailbox advertising an empty house.

Seasonal winterizing

Want the home prepped for cold months? I'll winterize so pipes, fixtures, and the exterior come through the season in good shape.

Yard care that keeps it looking lived-in

Mowing, weeding, raking leaves, and general outdoor cleanup so the property looks maintained and occupied year-round.

  • Mow, weed & edge
  • Leaf raking & seasonal cleanup
  • Exterior tidy-ups

Custom yard art & personalized murals

Beyond upkeep, I make hand-built yard art and paint personalized murals — on a wall, fence, garage, or side of the home. A little character that makes the place feel truly yours.
