How it works
Share the city, property type, and service you need. It takes about a minute, and no payment is collected.
HomeTame reviews your address, recommends a plan, and follows up by email or phone.
Visits start, photo updates arrive, and approved vendor work is coordinated for you.
Ready to have someone look after your home?
Request availability. There is no payment to ask, and HomeTame confirms the next step.
For already-vacant rental recovery, turnover, and multi-contractor repairs, HomeTame coordinates approved providers, authorized access, task tracking, photos, and owner updates. Scope and availability are confirmed before work begins.
Home Watch is a professional visual check of your property while you are away. During scheduled visits, HomeTame looks for visible signs of problems and reports observations so you can stay informed.
Every scheduled Home Watch visit includes a digital report with photos and observations. The photos and checklist reflect the agreed scope and accessible areas; the report itself is included with every scheduled visit. It records the date, areas checked, completed checklist items, visible conditions, and recommended follow-up when appropriate. Check frequencies and coordination allowances depend on the selected plan and are stated below.
Live video walkthroughs during scheduled property checks and virtual meetings are available upon request. Arrange a walkthrough in advance; availability depends on scheduling, a safe visit, and an adequate internet or cellular connection. Live video is not continuous monitoring or a licensed home inspection and does not replace the visit report. Ask in your message and share your preferred times; HomeTame will confirm availability and send the meeting invitation. To reduce phishing risk, we only use meeting links provided by HomeTame and do not accept customer-supplied meeting links. If an invitation looks suspicious, contact info@hometame.com to verify it before opening.
Snowbird is $199/year and includes two Home Watch checks per year during your seasonal absence while the home is vacant and unoccupied. HomeTame Seasonal is $299/year and includes four preventive checks, one each season, for a home you live in or visit regularly. Both include reports after every scheduled check and no coordination hours.
Visits focus on visible conditions that may need attention.
HomeTame can look for visible indications that a property may have been disturbed.
Your agreed visit checklist may include visual checks of accessible interior areas for leaks, unusual odors, visible damage, HVAC concerns, appliance issues, or signs of pests. Accessible exterior areas may be checked for damage, weather concerns, landscaping issues, debris, or other unusual conditions.
HomeTame identifies and reports visible concerns; it does not replace your plumber, electrician, HVAC company, contractor, or other licensed professional. You remain in control of decisions about the next step.
A Home Watch visit follows the agreed property instructions:
Scheduled visits may help owners stay informed about second homes, vacation homes, seasonal residences, homes between occupants, properties being renovated, and other homes left unattended for extended periods.
Home Watch can be combined with property protection, vendor coordination, arrival preparation, or environmental monitoring when compatible equipment is installed and a service arrangement includes it. Home Watch itself is not continuous real-time monitoring.
A Home Watch plan can be shaped around property type, occupancy, how often the home is visited, how long you expect to be away, and areas you want monitored.
You deal directly with HomeTame, not a call center or a network of strangers. Home Watch plans can be customized to your property, and small jobs found during a visit can be handled by HomeTame itself, billed at time and materials and agreed with you first. Work that requires a licensed contractor is coordinated with a qualified licensed provider. Service is subject to address and availability.
Home Watch visits are visual property observations, not licensed inspections, alarm monitoring, or a guarantee against damage, crime, or other property problems. Visit scope varies by service plan, property, accessibility, and location.
