What is Home Watch?

Home watch is a regular, in-person check on your property while you're away — whether that's a few weeks, a season, or most of the year. It is not house sitting and it is not a security system. It's a trained set of eyes walking your home on a schedule. An empty house doesn't sit still. Air conditioning fails, humidity climbs, a slow leak spreads under a floor, a storm lifts a soffit. Nothing announces itself. By the time you're back, a small problem has had months to become an expensive one. On every visit we walk the full property inside and out, run water, check the HVAC, test doors and windows, and look for anything that's changed. Then you get a written report with photos — so you know exactly what we saw, the same day we saw it.

Understanding Home Watch

Who we look after

Most of our clients are seasonal and part-time homeowners — people who spend months away and want consistent eyes on the property while they're gone. These homes face real pressure from weather, humidity, and simply sitting empty. Our visits are built around those realities, and every one ends with a written record of what we found.

  • Checking doors, windows & locks
  • Monitoring landscaping conditions
  • Testing air conditioning & HVAC
  • Inspecting visible components

Why CastlingDemo

A real business, not a favour from a neighbour

Family owned, properly vetted, and run on a system you can actually see into.

Family owned & operated

You deal with the owners, not a call centre or a rotating roster of contractors. The people who answer the phone are the people at your door.

Background-checked team

Everyone who enters your home is screened and insured before they ever carry a key. No exceptions, no subcontracted strangers.

All in one system

Booking, scheduling, visit reports and invoices live in one place — not scattered across texts, spreadsheets and paper receipts.

Notifications as it happens

Get told when a visit is scheduled, when it's done, and immediately if we find something that needs your attention.

A report after every visit

Every visit ends in a written record with photos and notes, timestamped and kept on file so you can look back months later.

Scheduled around your absence

Weekly, fortnightly or monthly — set the rhythm that matches how long you're away, and change it whenever plans change.

Common Questions

Frequently asked questions

The things people ask us most before signing up.

How often will you visit my home?
Most clients choose weekly or fortnightly while they're away. You set the rhythm when you book, and you can change it any time your plans change — there's no fixed contract length.
What actually happens during a visit?
We walk the full property inside and out: run the water, check the HVAC is holding temperature, test doors and windows, look for leaks, pests, humidity and storm damage, and check the exterior and landscaping. Anything that has changed since last time gets photographed.
How do I know the visit happened?
Every visit produces a written report with photos and notes, sent the same day and kept on file so you can look back months later. If we find something that needs your attention, you hear about it immediately rather than waiting for the report.
Is this the same as a security system or house sitting?
No. An alarm tells you after someone has already broken in, and a house sitter lives there. Home watch is a trained person inspecting an empty property on a schedule and reporting what they find — it's about catching maintenance problems early.
Who will be entering my home?
Only screened, insured members of our own team. Everyone is background-checked before they carry a key, and we don't hand your property off to subcontractors.
What happens if you find a problem?
We tell you straight away with photos, and we can coordinate with a contractor, plumber or HVAC technician on your behalf so it gets handled while you're away rather than waiting until you're back.
