Shield Home Watch
Shield Home Watch is for people who spend time away from their home. This can include a second home or even an annual family vacation. We go through a comprehensive checklist, record GPS location data and take photos of the home. Shield Home Watch also provides services such as our Car Drive Program, Senior Services, Key Access Service and Arrival Grocery Service.
Concierge
The whole idea of getting away, whether it is for a weekend or longer, is so you can spend quality time really enjoying friends, family or just simply relaxing. After a long drive and a stressful work week, don’t you want to arrive at your vacation home not having to deal with the mundane tasks of grocery shopping; house cleaning; making restaurant reservations; arranging concert tickets or golf tee times; weed control, storm cleanup, boat launching/washing and so forth? Wouldn’t it be nice if someone else could give you the same kind of experience with your vacation home that you enjoy when you stay at a nice luxury hotel? Shield Home Watch & Concierge can now help you with your needs in Bradenton, Lakewood Ranch, Anna Maria Island, HOl,es Beach, Sarasota, and all of Manatee County.
Shield Home Watch & Concierge is your “Personal Concierge” . We can do the grocery shopping for you and have your favorite foods and snacks waiting for you and your preferred beverages-in the refrigerator nice & cold. We can even pick up your beer or wine orders and have it chilled in your wine cooler. You fill out a list with your preferences and desired events and we work on your behalf to make it happen. Don’t want to hassle with launching the watercraft and retrieving it when you’re done? No problem! We can remove these tasks from your to do list. We can make sure your watercraft are fueled up and also stocked with ice/beverages and snacks. When you are done, we will make arrangement to retrieve your boat, remove all food and drinks, clean and wash the exterior and haul it back to your home or storage location and secure it safely with covers back on. We can arrange for local concert tickets, confirm dinner reservations, order flowers and have them waiting in your home when you arrive for that special occasion.

Key-Holding Service
Would you leave your teenagers home alone for very long? PROBABLY NOT! Vacant homes are very much like teenagers, when left alone for very long, undesirable things can happen. WE CAN HELP YOU!
Every client has different needs and these can change like the seasons. We provide a “Keyholder” service specifically tailored to clients looking for a more limited, budget oriented service. Under this service, we hold on to your key(s) in our locked vault. Upon your specific requests, we will then utilize the keys to perform services on an as needed (á la carte) basis subject to additional fees. We can stop by to put delivered packages into your home when you are away, meet service providers and delivery drivers to allow access. We can perform pre-storm and post storm inspections upon your request. If you forget to lock a door, turn on the alarm, turn off the water heater or water or any other issue, call us and we can arrange to stop by and take care of these forgotten items. If your neighbor calls us or you about any suspicious activity or visible damage, we can investigate to determine if any intrusion or damage has occurred and report back to you. If you forget your key or you have a guest coming who needs access, we can meet them, open up and provide them with a temporary key for their use.
Emergency Alarm Response
In every town, emergency services are typically dispatched to centrally monitored alarms. However, they do not enter the home unless there are visible signs of distress, such as smoke or physical injury. As a result, firefighters and police officers are strictly limited to exterior inspections only. Without a designated key holder at the residence, emergency personnel will not enter your home. Unfortunately, many homeowners return to find unexpected damage or losses. If your alarm system goes off, we can open up the house for emergency personnel and make sure your home is properly secured and re-armed. We inspect for any obvious signs of intrusion or damage and provide a written report to you. When time is of the essence, we are your local contact and advocate and we are on call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week should you need us.
Emergency Alarm Response shall be from 7 AM to 9 PM, 7 days a week, during the term of the Contract. We will communicate with you on next steps depending on the situation.
Housekeeping
At Shield Home Watch, we customize our service to meet your needs and budget. We offer a full range of house cleaning services and use a 49-Point Checklist to guarantee your home is cleaned correctly, every time. Kitchens, bathrooms, floors and dusting are our specialties. Beyond that, we focus on areas of your home selected by you.
Shield Home Watch is Bradenton’s premier cleaning service. Whether you want weekly, bi-weekly or just a one-time house cleaning, we’ll design your maid service around your needs. We understand that hiring a maid service can be a big decision, and we will work with you to ensure your ‘hot spots’ are cleaned the way you want them done, on time, every time.
