Smart Home Stewardship: A Professional Protocol

Modern residency stewardship is increasingly defined by its digital infrastructure. As homes become "smarter," the responsibility of the house sitter evolves to include technical oversight of security grids, environmental controls, and automated landscaping systems.

My protocol includes a detailed technical walkthrough of Nest, Ring, and Lutron systems before any sit begins. Ensuring these tools remain online and correctly calibrated is essential for maintaining property security and energy efficiency during month-long homeowner absences.

To maintain 24/7 connectivity for these systems and my daily updates, I rely on the unlimited nomadic data provided by Visible, ensuring I can monitor and update homeowners regardless of the property's local Wi-Fi status.
