A home watch service is a scheduled, professional inspection of your unoccupied home to ensure everything is safe, secure, and functioning properly. At OpenMaid, we check for issues like water leaks, HVAC failure, break-ins, and signs of damage, so you’re not caught off guard while away. This service is especially valuable for Airbnb hosts and short-term rental owners managing properties from a distance.

Using a linen service for your Airbnb saves time, reduces guest complaints, and helps maintain consistent 5-star reviews. Professional linen providers ensure every turnover is seamless—clean sheets, fresh towels, and zero last-minute laundry emergencies.

Unlike informal check-ins, OpenMaid’s home watch professionals follow a structured checklist, provide detailed reports, and are trained to spot issues early—before they become expensive problems. Whether you're managing a private home or offering an Airbnb rental, our services ensure your property stays protected and guest-ready..

We offer weekly, bi-weekly, or custom schedules based on your needs. Whether you're away seasonally, own a vacation rental, or need an Airbnb home watch service between bookings, OpenMaid can tailor a visit plan that works for you.

During each home watch visit, we perform a full visual inspection including:

• Signs of leaks or water damage

• HVAC and thermostat checks

• Appliance and electrical system checks

• Door/window security

• Mail, trash, and package collection

• Exterior inspection of landscaping, garage, and perimeter

You'll receive a digital report with notes and photos after every visit. For Airbnb hosts, we also offer post-checkout damage inspections and guest-readiness checks.
