Temperature and utility concerns
We look for conditions that deserve a closer look, especially during changing weather and colder months.
Twin Cities home watch services
Home Watch Services for Twin Cities Homes
When you are away, a well-timed property check-in gives you a clearer picture of what is happening at home and a capable hand for the details that cannot wait.
A steady eye on your property
Leave town without leaving the house unattended.
Whether you are escaping a Twin Cities winter, spending time at another home, traveling for work, or waiting for the next project decision, a vacant home can quietly collect loose ends. A small change in temperature, a water concern, or an unexpected issue is easier to address when someone is checking in with purpose.
Hudock Home Services provides practical home watch services through scheduled property check-ins. We focus on the visible conditions that matter, document the visit, and help you stay connected to the next step without asking you to manage every detail from afar.
What we look for
The details that are easier to catch early.
A home watch visit is not a rushed walk-through. It is a practical check on the property conditions that can become more complicated when no one is there to notice them.
Potential water issues
Visible signs of leaks or water concerns are worth catching before they have more time to spread.
Signs of forced entry
We check for anything that suggests the property needs your attention or an appropriate next step.
The next item on your list
Every home has its own priorities, from a return-home detail to a provider appointment or project already in progress.
When a check-in makes sense
Useful for the ordinary moments that need a local eye.
Home watch is flexible enough to support a short trip, a long absence, or a home with a few moving parts.
Seasonal travel
Leaving Minnesota during the coldest part of the year should not mean wondering about the house every day. Regular property check-ins provide a practical rhythm while you are away and can be tailored around the time you expect to be gone.
A second home or extended stay away
When a property is empty for weeks at a time, little questions have a way of becoming bigger ones. A familiar local contact helps keep the condition of the home visible without requiring you to make every call from another city.
Projects and provider appointments
Sometimes the concern is not the house itself, but the work happening around it. If a trusted provider needs access or a project has a next step, Hudock can help keep that detail organized alongside the check-in plan.
Before you return home
A check-in can also help you prepare for coming back. If there is a detail that needs attention before your return, you have time to make a calmer decision instead of arriving to a list of surprises.
Choose your rhythm
Support that fits the time you are away.
Start with a schedule that makes sense for your home and your plans. There is no long-term contract.
One-time check
$35A practical option for a short trip, a storm follow-up, or a moment when you want a knowledgeable set of eyes at the house.
Bi-weekly check-ins
$55/monthKeep a regular connection to the property during a longer trip or a season away, without overcomplicating your schedule.
Weekly check-ins
$105/monthFor homes that need a closer rhythm, weekly visits keep the property and any open details more consistently in view.
A useful plan starts with context
Tell us what makes your home different.
Your timing matters. A long winter stay elsewhere, a business trip, a family visit, or a last-minute vacation can call for different check-in timing. Start with the dates that matter to you, then choose the rhythm that makes the most sense.
Your priorities belong in the plan. You may be thinking about a particular area of the house, a concern after recent weather, or a task that needs to be handled before you return. Those details make the visit more useful.
Existing providers can stay in the picture. If you already have a provider you trust, the goal is not to replace that relationship. Home watch can provide coordination and a clearer handoff when the next step needs to move forward.
You do not need a permanent arrangement. Some homeowners only need a single visit. Others prefer regular check-ins while they are away for a season. The service is designed to meet the situation in front of you, not force the home into a fixed program. The point is a calm, practical plan that helps you leave with more confidence and return with fewer unanswered questions.
Simple, purposeful check-ins
A clear plan before you leave.
Home watch works best when the visit has a purpose. We start with your property, your timing, and the details you want kept in view.

A familiar check-in plan also means you have one less detail to chase while you are away.
Built for homes in motion
Good home watch is practical, not dramatic.
The goal is simple: return to a home that has not been left to chance. For many owners, that means knowing a capable local professional has looked in on the house, kept the visit focused, and helped make the next decision easier if something came up.
Questions, answered
Home watch FAQs
What is included in a home watch visit?
A visit can include checks for temperature concerns, potential water leaks, signs of forced entry, and other visible issues that deserve attention while you are away. The visit is documented so you have a clear update on your property.
How often can Hudock Home Services check my home?
Choose the rhythm that fits your plans: a one-time visit, a bi-weekly schedule, or weekly property check-ins. There is no long-term contract, so the service can fit a short trip, a season away, or a longer absence.
What happens if something needs attention?
If a visit turns up an issue, Hudock Home Services can help you think through the next step and coordinate with an established home-service provider when that support is needed.
Is home watch useful if I am only away for a short time?
It can be. A one-time check is a practical option when you want another set of eyes on a home during a vacation, after a storm, or while a project or service appointment is in motion.
