Testimonials

"We had an absolutely wonderful experience with While Away Home Service and couldn't be more pleased with the level of care and professionalism we received.
This company is truly awesome!
They check on your property as often as you need—we chose to have our home checked once a week while we were away. After every visit, we received a very detailed checklist outlining everything that was inspected inside and outside of the house, which gave us incredible peace of mind.
During each visit, she watered all of our plants, turned my car on to keep it running properly, and checked all the plumbing for any potential water leaks. Knowing that someone was consistently making sure everything was safe and in good working order meant the world to us while we were gone.

We are extremely happy with the service provided and would highly recommend using this company anytime you leave your home for an extended period of time!"

 "We have an older home and we were finally able to relax and really enjoy our vacation knowing that While Away Home Services was watching it while we were gone!  We have no immediate family in the area and didn't want to burden friends by asking them to come over and check on it, so While Away was the perfect solution.   They met with us before our trip and created a detailed list of what needed attention.  After each visit, we received a comprehensive report with photos.  They are very flexible and offer a wide range of services.  The price per visit is very reasonable too, but the peace of mind alone is priceless!  The whole experience was very professional.  We highly recommend While Away and plan to use them any time we travel.

 "We spend several months away from our home each winter, and While Away Home Services has given us such peace of mind. Cindy is dependable, thorough, and treats our home as if it were her own. We especially appreciate the detailed update after each visit, so we always know everything has been checked and is in good hands. It’s such a relief to be able to enjoy our time away without worrying about what’s happening back home. We would absolutely recommend While Away Home Services to anyone who travels or spends extended time away.”
