Discreet, documented inspections. Insurance-compliant. Smoke & CO tested every visit. One trusted set of eyes — never on social media.
↓As a veteran and a traveller myself, I know firsthand what it's like to leave home — not knowing if the pipes will freeze, the sump pump will fail, or the furnace will quit while you're hundreds of kilometres away.
This is why Stand on Guard exists. So that you may leave at a moment's notice, knowing that your property is being cared for diligently and thoroughly. Whether you're a serving member on deployment or tasking, a family posted away from a property you still own, or a retiree heading south for the winter — your home deserves the same care you'd give it yourself.
I check every room, run the taps, test the systems, and document everything. I collect your mail, keep an eye on your driveway, and call you if something needs your attention. No surprises when you get home.
Criminal record check on file. Right here in Petawawa, serving the whole Ottawa Valley.

I've been where you are. You shouldn't have to worry about your furnace quitting in January while you're on tour or tasking. I'll keep your home safe, your insurance valid, and send you a full report after every visit. Your family can call me anytime.
Custodial care may be reimbursable through your posting benefits.
Wintering away? Cottage sitting empty between seasons? You shouldn't have to worry about frozen pipes, a failed sump pump, or an insurance claim denied because nobody checked in.
I handle everything — running your taps, testing your systems, collecting your mail, keeping things looking lived-in. You get a full report after every visit, and my number if anything comes up. It's the kind of care your property deserves year-round.
Regular visits, seasonal reopening, one-off check-ups, or ongoing custodial care — tailored to your property.
Regular or one-off — tailored to your property and schedule.
Regular scheduled visits with a full documented inspection — access, water systems, HVAC, drainage, exterior, safety. Every room, every system, every visit logged.
Insurance-compliantSeasonal and off-season inspections for your cottage or secondary property. Keep your insurance valid and catch problems before they become expensive.
Seasonal & year-roundGetting ready for the season? I'll open up your cottage, run the water, check systems, inspect for winter damage, and make sure everything is ready before you arrive.
Spring & fallEvery visit produces a timestamped, itemized inspection report — the kind of documentation your insurance company wants to see if a claim ever arises.
20-point checklistEvery care plan comes with extras at no additional charge — because looking after a property means more than just checking boxes.
Most Canadian home insurance policies require regular physical inspections of your property during extended absences — typically every 48 to 72 hours for primary residences, and every 30 to 90 days for seasonal properties.
Without documented visits, your insurer can deny a claim entirely. Stand on Guard provides exactly the kind of inspections that preserve your property & your coverage.
Some clients prefer that the care of their property leaves no trail. Stand on Guard is built to operate that way by default — for everyone.
Every visit is conducted by me, personally. No subcontractors. No rotating staff. No third-party access to your home or your records.
No client photos. No location tags. No public testimonials. No client list anywhere online. Your home is not content.
Visit reports, invoices, and notes are kept in encrypted private storage. No shared calendars listing your address. No marketing list. No data sold or shared.
For clients who want confidentiality formalized in writing, a mutual non-disclosure agreement is available before our first visit. No charge, no questions.
Phone, text, Signal, encrypted email, or in person — whatever channel suits you. No marketing emails. Ever.
No vehicle decals. No signage. Visits scheduled around your routine, not mine. Neighbours will not know I’m there unless you choose to tell them.
Whether it's a single check-up or ongoing custodial care, reach out and we'll build a plan that fits.
