Add-on service
House sitting that keeps your home safe and sound.
Whether you're away for a weekend or a few weeks, we'll check in on your home, care for your plants, collect your mail, and make sure everything looks just right.
What we provide
A complete home-check while you're away.
House sitting with Lighten the Load is more than a quick drive-by. We treat your home like our own, following your instructions and keeping you in the loop.
Home security checks
We walk through your home to make sure doors and windows are secure, alarms are set, and nothing looks out of place.
Mail & package collection
Mail, newspapers, and deliveries are brought inside so your porch stays clear and your packages stay safe.
Plant watering
Indoor and outdoor plants get the attention they need — watered, misted, or rotated based on your instructions.
Lights & blinds rotation
We adjust lights, blinds, and curtains so your home looks occupied and lived-in from the outside.
Key handling & lock-up
Your key is treated with care. We lock up on every visit and follow your entry instructions exactly.
Flexible visit schedule
Choose daily, twice-daily, or custom visits. We work around your travel dates and your pet or plant needs.
