Home Watch & Concierge Services
Our commitment is to protect your home while you are away.
We are an independent, family-owned business with a well-established reputation for quality and professionalism since 2004. We offer many services with a focus on Home Watch and Concierge Services.
If you are a part time resident and leave your home unattended for any length of time, serious damage can occur. A small leak can quickly become a flood; broken A/C can lead to mold and mildew that causes structural issues, damaged framing and harmful respiratory issues – the list goes on. Having a home watch company also helps deter anyone thinking a home may be vacant such as squatters, intruders and/or thieves!
With each customized Home Watch inspection, we can keep your home well maintained and save you from damage and costly repairs. From checking the A/C and coordinating maintenance services, to grocery shopping and storm preparation…we’ve got you covered.
Servicing the Greater Sarasota area: Venice, Sarasota, Lakewood Ranch, Siesta Key, Longboat Key, Osprey, Bradenton, North Port and Nokomis.

Donna is personable and passionate about making sure that your home is safe and secure. She is meticulous and reliable, exactly what your home needs when you're away.
--Ashley Coffman
If you are looking for a professional home service, we recommend Donna's Home solutions. Donna and her staff are reliable and trustworthy. Their level of client commitment is off the charts. Since we live in the Midwest most of the year, we were very cautious on selecting someone to take care of our Florida home. We chose Donna's Home Solutions and are glad we did.
--John and Mary Brandt
Great service! Fast, right price and extremely clean.
--Lane Harris
I never realized how important a Home Watch service is until I moved to Florida a year ago, and we have been traveling quite often. Thankfully, Donna’s Home Watch has saved us from costly repairs and replacements as she is knowledgeable on what to look for, such as a leaky faucet and a tripped refrigerator breaker. I highly recommend her Home Watch service.
--Jill Cipolla
When we relocated, we moved out of town 6 weeks before the closing date of our home and hired Donna to check on the property. Donna provides very thorough service with a wide range of tasks. She is honest, trustworthy, reliable and professional. She provides regular reports with a visual record and will provide live video if requested. She has indeed given us peace of mind, and she is wonderful to work with.
--Mike and Susannah Michalson
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How frequently do you check?
We recommend every week or every other week.
Do I need a home watch service for short term absences?
Yes. As you are aware, anything can go wrong or break at any time. Your air conditioning system could shut off and create extremely hot conditions inside your home which can cause mold and mildew to rapidly grow. An electrical issue can cause a fire. Wind and storms can cause limbs to fall and damage your roof.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes.
Will you oversee contractors while we are away during remodeling, and oversee our regular scheduled contractors such as cleaning and lawn companies when they show up?
Absolutely. You will receive pictures through the different stages of work being done and will be kept updated with any problems that may arise.
What are your prices?
Contact Us for pricing of your specific needs.
Do we have to sign a contract?
No, we do not hold anyone to a contract.
Do you accept credit cards?
No. We bill on or about the first of the month for the prior month. We accept checks, PayPal, Venmo and Zelle.
What about our vehicles?
We can start your vehicles weekly or every other week, or we recommend using a trickle charger on the car if possible so this will hold your battery's charge.
Why hire a home watch service versus friends, family or neighbors?
Although your friends, family and neighbors think of it as “helping you out,” they are not trained in what to look for. If their personal schedule gets in the way, then no one is there to protect your home.
Will you secure my home in case of a hurricane?
Yes, we will secure your home including taking outdoor furniture inside. Post-storm, we will check on the property and report to you immediately.
