Why we started this

Desert summers are
unforgiving.

The Coachella Valley's extreme heat doesn't care that you're not home. A small problem in May becomes a catastrophic repair by August — if no one catches it.

115°
Summer temperatures
La Quinta regularly exceeds 115°F in summer. Undetected AC failures can destroy interiors, warp cabinetry, and create mold in days.
72h
Average leak detection delay
Without regular checks, water leaks in vacant homes go undetected for days — turning a $200 repair into a $20,000 restoration.
6mo
Average time away
Most La Quinta second-home owners are away April through October. That's six months of exposure without a watchful eye.
"
The peace of mind I have since relying on a home watch service is priceless. When I'm not in the desert, I can call on them to step in and handle problems that pop up — it allows me to enjoy my home instead of spending vacation time on maintenance.
