Service details
Caretaking Services
We keep an eye on your home or cottage when you cannot, from regular house checks and garbage pickups to gutter cleaning, power washing, and seasonal opening and closing.
Why this service works well for our clients
- Scheduled interior and exterior checks while you are away
- Quick communication if we notice issues that need attention
- Option to bundle caretaking with lawncare, snow, and other services
What our caretaking services include
Every property has different needs depending on how often you are here and how exposed it is to weather. We tailor a caretaking plan around how you actually use the home.
- Regular interior and exterior house checks
- Garbage and recycling put out and brought back in
- Basic gutter cleaning and debris checks around the home
- Power washing of entries, walks, and other key areas as needed
Seasonal opening and closing support
For many clients, the most stressful times are when opening up in spring and closing down in the fall. We help with a repeatable checklist so nothing important is missed.
- Pre-arrival checks before you come into town
- Simple opening tasks coordinated with our other crews when needed
- Seasonal closing checks and basic preparations
- Notes after visits so you know what we saw and did
Our process
How our caretaking process works when you are away
From first conversation through completion, here is what to expect when you work with Keller.
- 1
Conversation about how you use the property
We start by talking through how often you are here, what you worry about when you are away, and which areas of the house and property matter most to you.

Initial visit and checklist setup
On our first visit we walk the interior and exterior, note key systems and access points, and build a simple checklist for house checks, garbage handling, gutters, and power washing needs.
- 3
Regular house checks and basic care
On the agreed schedule we complete interior and exterior checks, put garbage and recycling out and back, and watch for issues like leaks, downed limbs, or problems from weather.

Gutter cleaning, power washing, and extras
As needed we handle basic gutter cleaning and power washing of key areas such as entries and walks, and can coordinate with our other crews if we see something that needs more attention.

Seasonal opening, closing, and updates
Around spring opening and fall closing we follow a repeatable checklist, send you notes after visits, and adjust the caretaking plan if your travel patterns or the property change.
