It seems to me that a lot of people I come in contact with in my day to day activities don't realize how important a house sitting service can be. They think because they are having their neighbor periodically check in on their home that they are protected from potential disasters. What these people seem to forget is that when it was their turn to watch their neighbors house all they did was peak out the window every so often and that was their check. Most people do not realize how many things can go wrong while their away.
While you are away most neighbors are not going to check all your plumbing to make sure nothing is leaking. Your neighbor is probably not going to check for pest invasion, leaking roofs, security light outages, double check all the doors and windows to make sure everything is locked and not tampered with, if you are gone for a few months I doubt that they will check your refrigerator for expired food. If you have ever come home to a stinky refrigerator I am sure you will appreciate this.
Not just anybody can go through a house and check these items. It takes training and a special eye and ear to catch potential problems. Did you know with plumbing leaks in ceilings and walls can, for the most part, be detected with a Doctors stethoscope. Most people do not take the time or even think about listening to their house for leaks. The bigger leaks you can hear at night when you are laying in your bed and your home is quite. If you stay still and listen you will hear which of your toilets have a bad flapper and also if you have any water running. Water leaks don't get better by themselves. The sooner you can find them and fix them, the cheaper the bill.
A good house sitting service can save the home owner a lot of money on problems that the home owner was not even aware that he had.
My friend Pete and his wife Kris bought a ten year old house in Calimesa California. They thought that their new home was great. After living in their home for about two years, they notice a water stain on the drywall next to the floor. They called the plumbers to come out and fix the problem. The plumbers traced the leak in their wall to about twenty feet from where the original leak was detected. The plumbers told Pete and his wife that the whole wall was saturated with water and needed to be replaced. The plumbing bill came to about twelve thousand dollars.
Pete and Kris turned the bill over to their house insurance company. The house insurance company refused to pay the plumbing bill claiming, the leak was a "pre-existing condition".
The point I am making is that the common person who isn't trained to catch these problems, probably won't catch them until the problems become major problems. A good house sitting service can save you money!
