Home Away Watch
Traveling for work, vacation, or an extended stay? Cherubims Security Services provides dedicated property watch patrols for homeowners who are away — giving you peace of mind that your home is being monitored, checked, and protected while you're gone.
Your Home Deserves Protection Even When You're Not There
An unoccupied home is a target. Whether you're away for a weekend, a month-long vacation, or an extended business trip, vacant properties attract opportunistic thieves, vandals, and trespassers. Cherubims Security Services' Home Away Watch program provides scheduled patrols and property checks by licensed security officers — so your home is never truly unattended.
Our officers conduct exterior inspections, check entry points, monitor for signs of intrusion or damage, and report any concerns directly to you. We serve as your eyes on the ground in South Florida while you're anywhere in the world.

What's Included in Every Home Away Watch Program
More than a drive-by — a thorough, documented property check every single visit.
Scheduled Property Patrols
Regular, scheduled drive-by and walk-around patrols of your property at intervals you choose — daily, twice daily, or custom schedules designed around your absence and your neighborhood's risk profile.
Exterior Inspection & Entry Check
Officers inspect all entry points — doors, windows, gates, and garage access — checking for signs of forced entry, tampering, or unauthorized access on every visit.
Storm & Weather Damage Monitoring
South Florida weather can be severe. Our officers check for storm damage, flooding, downed trees, and other weather-related issues that need immediate attention before they become costly problems.
Mail & Package Monitoring
Accumulated mail and packages signal an empty home. Our officers note and report buildup so you can arrange pickup — removing a visible indicator that no one is home.
Direct Owner Reporting
After every patrol, you receive a report of what was observed. If anything requires immediate attention, we contact you directly — no matter what time zone you're in.
Law Enforcement Coordination
If our officers discover a break-in, trespassing, or any active threat, they contact law enforcement immediately and remain on-site to coordinate the response and secure the property.
How Home Away Watch Works
Simple to set up, thorough in execution — from your first call to your safe return home.
Consultation & Property Briefing
We meet with you before your departure to document your property, note any specific concerns, and design a patrol schedule that fits your timeline and budget.
Scheduled Patrols Begin
Licensed officers begin patrolling your property on the agreed schedule — conducting thorough exterior inspections and logging every visit with time-stamped records.
Regular Reporting
You receive patrol reports after each visit — a clear record of what was observed, the condition of the property, and any items that need your attention.
Immediate Escalation When Needed
If anything is wrong — a breach, storm damage, or suspicious activity — we contact you immediately and coordinate with law enforcement or emergency services on your behalf.

Frequently Asked Questions
How often will officers patrol my property?

We provide Home Away Watch services throughout Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach counties. If you're unsure whether your property falls within our service area, contact us and we'll confirm coverage for your specific address.
How will I receive patrol reports?
After each patrol, you'll receive a report documenting the officer's observations, the condition of the property, and any items noted. Reports are delivered directly to you — we'll confirm your preferred contact method during setup.
What happens if the officer finds a problem at my property?
If our officer discovers a break-in, damage, or any situation requiring immediate action, they contact you directly and — if necessary — law enforcement or emergency services. We stay on-site to coordinate the response and secure the property until the situation is resolved.
Can I set up Home Away Watch on short notice before a trip?
