🛡️ How to Research a Home Watch Company

Eagle Eye Home Watch & Maintenance LLC • January 7, 2026

What Every Seasonal Resident & Frequent Traveler Should Know


When you’re away from your Arizona home—whether for a few weeks or an entire season—choosing the right home watch company is one of the most important decisions you can make. Your property is one of your biggest investments, and not all home watch providers offer the same level of professionalism, protection, or accountability.

At Eagle Eye Home Watch & Maintenance, we’ve seen firsthand how the right company can prevent costly damage… and how the wrong one can leave homeowners vulnerable. Before you hand over your keys, here’s what you should look for.



🔍 1. Verify That the Company Is Bonded and Insured

This is the number one non‑negotiable requirement.

A legitimate home watch company should carry:

  • General Liability Insurance
    Protects you if the company accidentally causes damage to your home.
  • Bonding
    Offers financial protection in the rare event of theft or dishonest acts.
  • Workers’ Compensation (if they have employees)
    Ensures you’re not liable if someone gets injured on your property.

If a company cannot provide proof of insurance and bonding, do not hire them. Many hobbyists or “side gig” caretakers operate without proper coverage, leaving homeowners exposed to major financial risk.



🧭 2. Look for Professional Reporting and Accountability

A reputable home watch company should provide:

  • Detailed visit reports
  • Time‑stamped photos
  • Digital documentation
  • Transparent communication

At Eagle Eye, we use QRIDit Home Watch Software, giving clients real-time, photo‑verified reports for every visit. This level of accountability protects you and ensures nothing is overlooked.



🛠️ 3. Ask About Their Training and Experience

Home watch is more than “checking on a house.” It requires:

  • Knowledge of home systems
  • Understanding of early warning signs
  • Familiarity with Arizona’s climate challenges
  • Experience with seasonal and vacant properties

With a decade of experience in home building, remodeling, property management, and real estate, Eagle Eye brings a trained eye to every inspection.



📍 4. Choose a Local, East Valley Specialist

Homes in Mesa, Gilbert, Chandler, Queen Creek, Gold Canyon, and Apache Junction face unique conditions:

  • Extreme heat
  • Monsoon storms
  • Pest activity
  • Hard water issues
  • HVAC strain

A local expert understands these challenges and knows what to look for during each visit.



🧾 6. Understand What’s Included in Their Service

Not all home watch companies offer the same level of care. Compare:

  • Visit frequency
  • Interior and exterior checks
  • Storm checks
  • Emergency response
  • Maintenance options
  • Add‑on services

Eagle Eye offers both Home Watch Services and Maintenance Memberships, giving homeowners a complete, preventative approach to property care.

  • Bonded and insured
