How screening & qualifications work →

Everyday visits

Trusted care partner

A screened local contractor matched to your home, your tasks and your schedule.

  • Identity, references and background check required before assignment
  • Relevant experience and insurance for the agreed work
  • Your checklist, documented attendance and a visit report
Standard visit quoteChoose a care partner

Premium by request

Licensed professional

Request a visit from a licensed professional, such as a real estate professional, when that is your preference.

  • The same screening and visit-reporting requirements
  • Active licence and professional standing checked
  • Role, scope and applicable insurance confirmed in writing
Premium quoted before bookingRequest a licensed professional

Planned visit options. Availability and completed screening must be confirmed before a provider is assigned. A professional licence does not automatically extend professional insurance or fiduciary duties to a home-care visit.

Every absence has a story

What’s taking you away?

A useful place to start, whether you’re packing a suitcase or handling an unexpected change.

YOUR STARTING POINT

Enjoy being somewhere else.

For a long weekend or a winter away, put a plan around the home you leave behind.

Property care while you travel

THREE THINGS TO THINK ABOUT

  1. Record the home’s condition before departure.
  2. Plan for weather, heating and visible water concerns.
  3. Arrange the everyday tasks that still need doing.

From the first conversation to the next visit

Less wondering. More knowing.

How it works →

01

Make a plan together.

Your property, your dates and your priorities. Agree on the visit schedule, access arrangements and costs before care begins.

02

The home gets a visit.

A property-specific checklist guides the visit. Observations, photographs and completed tasks become part of its record.

03

You see what happened.

Read the report and any concerns. Agree on next steps, with your authorisation before additional work is arranged.

A visit you can see for yourself

“Everything looked fine”
isn’t the whole story.

A clear record makes the difference between hoping someone checked and knowing what they saw.

  • Who attended, and when
  • Interior and exterior observations
  • Temperature readings and photographs
  • Concerns, completed tasks and next steps
