Home Watching has been around for many years in the United States, Canada and Australia. With well over 15 000 successful Home Watch companies operating in these countries.

Every year, more and more people are travelling and have started dividing their time between their holiday home and their primary residence, which quickly led to a need for someone to safeguard their property while they were away. This was often family, friends, a neighbour, or a house sitter, but in many cases the garden services or cleaning companies became involved to fill a void.

It was soon discovered that many people, especially the Baby Boomers, wanted more services other than having their homes simply checked. This growing need gave birth to the “Home Watch” industry a professional service people can rely on.

The Home Watching industry is new to South Africa and growing rapidly. It is helping South Africans care for their vacant homes and pets when they can’t be there. Having to rely on family, friends or neighbours and asking favours can be a real struggle.

There has been a need for a professional alternative to house sitting in South Africa for many years now. Upon conducting market research, it was found that around 87% of people would take advantage of this service if a professional and affordable service were available to them.

Thanks to Airbnb, Home Away and other holiday home and investment markets, there is a high number of time poor property owners facing difficulties keeping up with the demand and upkeep of their properties.
