Vacant Home Monitoring & Presence Services

While many search for a “house sitter,” what they actually need is reliable presence-based oversight. We ensure your home does not appear or function as if it has been left unattended for long periods.

We handle visual checks, mail flow, lighting rotation, and general occupancy signals that help maintain normal appearance and condition.

Concierge & Home Support Services

Not all support is about absence—many homeowners simply need help managing time, errands, and home-related tasks during busy schedules.

This service category provides structured assistance for everyday responsibilities such as errands, deliveries, appointments, and home preparation.

It is designed for homeowners who value their time and prefer a managed approach to household tasks.

Property Oversight & Rapid Response

Emergency Home Watch Services

When something changes unexpectedly, timing becomes critical.

This service category focuses on rapid response situations where immediate presence at the property is required to assess conditions, secure the home, or address urgent concerns.

It bridges the gap between incident and resolution when delay increases risk.

A Home Watch visit in Sioux Falls includes structured in-person inspections of your property while you’re away. We check for visible issues such as leaks, HVAC problems, electrical concerns, pests, and environmental changes caused by weather conditions common in South Dakota. Each visit is documented so you always know the condition of your home.

This business is operated by a husband and wife team.  Mike is the one that will be doing the inspections, but you must know that every great man has an even greater wife close by.

Vacant Home Monitoring is a professional oversight service, not informal sitting. Instead of just “being present,” we actively manage visual signs of occupancy such as lighting, mail flow, and exterior appearance. This helps your Sioux Falls home look lived-in and reduces risks like break-ins or long-term vacancy issues.

Yes. Our Emergency Home Watch Service is designed for urgent situations where immediate property access is needed. If there’s a storm, alarm trigger, utility issue, or unexpected report, we respond quickly, assess the property, secure it if needed, and provide a full update so you know what’s happening in real time.

Our normal hours are 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. That being said our phone is always on and we respond to emergencies at any time outside of normal work hours.  Additional charges may apply in these situations.

Yes, we are insured and would be happy to provide that information upon request.

Our Concierge & Home Support Services help busy homeowners manage everyday life. This can include errands, home prep before arrival, vendor coordination, deliveries, and general household support. It’s especially useful for homeowners who split time between Sioux Falls and another location or simply want more time back in their day.

Most clients are homeowners who travel frequently, seasonal residents, or people with second homes in Sioux Falls. We also support professionals who are busy or out of town for extended periods and want structured, reliable oversight instead of relying on neighbors or informal arrangements.

We service a 15 mile radius around Sioux Falls at our standard rate. We are happy to go beyond 15 miles although we would charge an additional hourly rate for travel.

Happy Customers

what our customers are saying!

  • Mike took excellent care of our vegetable garden while we were on vacation.  He is very knowledgeable, and took the extra step of coming over early in the morning to water (which is the ideal time of day).  Additionally, Mike held on to a package that was delivered to our front porch while we were gone – we didn’t ask, he just did it.  It was a relief to know our garden and our house was in good hands.  We will certainly be using Mike’s services again!

  • We have had the opportunity to work with Mike McComber for the last few years.   We have found Mike to be extremely competent,  thorough, reliable and trustworthy.  We would recommend his services.
