HOUSE SITTERS – POLICE, OFF DUTY-LAW ENFORCEMENT PERSONNEL
LONG ISLAND | HAMPTONS | NEW YORK CITY
Why settle for a regular house sitter when you can entrust your home to a professional NYPD Police Officer or NYS Trooper?
Our officers are professional, reliable, responsible, and always properly attired while at your residence. They will maintain your property as you left it, ensuring bills are paid to keep services connected, plants and gardens are watered and maintained, and mail and phone messages are forwarded according to your instructions. Your pets will receive the same love and care they are accustomed to, whether they are dogs, cats, hamsters, horses, or fish. One of our house sitters even has experience operating a farm.
Our law enforcement officers will give your property the appearance of being occupied to deter burglars, squatters, and vandals. They will regularly check doors and windows and patrol the grounds, taking appropriate action to keep your home and valuables safe.
Our officers can also perform light duties to maintain your property. Finest Chauffeurs can arrange for a retired or active law enforcement officer to house sit, providing supervision to ensure the officer is present as required. We can even provide two officers to cover two shifts if desired. Our house sitters will care for your home according to your specific instructions, working tirelessly to earn your trust in Finest Chauffeurs.
