Toronto Beaches Home Watch Scheduled Home Checks. Trusted. Local. Insured.
Regular property visits for homeowners who are away. Checked and documented for peace of mind.
About Us
As a long time Beaches resident, I bring over 20 years of leadership and customer service experience to caring for your home.
This business began naturally after helping friends and neighbours while they were away. I saw a genuine need for trustworthy, community support and turned that into a professional service.
My approach is simple: to care for your home with the same attention, reliability, and respect I give my own.
At Toronto Beaches Home Watch Services, we provide local, reliable, and fully insured Home Watch services for homeowners who want peace of mind while they’re away.
Our visits provide a clear record of each check, which can be helpful when keeping track of a home during periods when it is unoccupied.
Whether you’re away for a few days, a month, or the whole season, think of us as your eyes and ears on the ground, checking in, reporting back, and helping you stay connected to your home.

Home Watch Services
When a home is unoccupied, small issues can go unnoticed and what starts out minor can escalate into costly damage if left undiscovered. Toronto Beaches Home Watch Services provides scheduled, documented property visits so homeowners know what’s happening at their home while they’re away, rather than finding out after the fact.
During each visit, we check both the exterior and interior of the home (when access is provided) and report on anything noticeable or out of the ordinary. This may include visible concerns such as water issues, signs of forced entry, storm impact, or anything else that appears unusual at the time of the visit. Each visit is documented so there is a clear record of what was checked and observed while the home is unoccupied.
When requested, we can also take care of simple appearance related tasks during a scheduled visit such as collecting mail or parcels, placing garbage and recycling out for collection, or watering indoor plants, helping the home continue to look cared for while unoccupied.

A Home Watch service involves scheduled visits to your property while you’re away. Each visit includes an exterior and interior check (when access is provided) to observe the general condition of the home and identify anything out of the ordinary.

Many homeowners use a Home Watch service to stay informed about their property while they’re away and to reduce the risk of small issues going unnoticed.
In some cases, insurance policies may require regular checks or documentation when a home is unoccupied. Scheduled Home Watch visits can help demonstrate that the property was being checked and monitored during an absence. Homeowners are encouraged to review their own policy requirements.
Beyond documentation, regular visits provide visibility into what’s happening at the property so concerns can be identified and addressed sooner rather than later.

What Our Clients Are Saying

We had purchased a new house and were heading off on a pre-planned vacation. I asked Paul to look after the house while we were gone, and on his first inspection, he found a significant leak in our in-ground sprinkler system. It wasn’t too serious (we had it fixed before we left), but it made me realize how thorough Paul was.
We received updates from him while we were away, which made us feel very comfortable while enjoying the sun in Mexico. Paul’s a great listener, easygoing, yet he takes his responsibilities very seriously.
Thanks, Paul.

We’ve relied on Paul’s services to care for our home for many years. He is incredibly reliable, and we never worry about the security of our home while we’re away. Paul makes sure our house looks occupied and well cared for by managing the lawns, mail, newspapers, flyers, and garbage.
He also inspects the interior, ensuring the pipes, heating, and electrical systems are in proper working order so we don’t come home to a catastrophe. Many times, he has proactively addressed things we hadn’t requested, like extra garden watering during heat waves or clearing snow after unexpected storms.
This is all done to make sure our home stays safe and well cared for when we’re away.

Paul was very helpful for me during a recent trip overseas. He came weekly over the month to check both the inside and exterior of my residence. He was thorough and kept weekly communication with me, sharing any updates and observations.
I will definitely keep using his services when I go away on vacation.
