About Us
Together Carla and Chris have over 40 years experience in customer service. Prescott Home Watchers was formerly The Prescott Area Home Watch, owned by locals Fran and Dan Russell. They started their successful business in 2019. Chris and Carla purchased it in 2025 and were taught the ins and outs of the business by experts! Carla had a successful dog sitting/walking business for 20 years. 17 of those years on the East Coast and 3 years right here in Prescott. During her dog sitting years she not only took care of dogs, but took care of customer's homes as well. She made sure that homes were in working order, plants watered, and vendors scheduled. The home watch business was a natural move. During her years on the East Coast she also worked as a liaison between The Baltimore County Police Department and insurance companies making sure police reports were handled correctly. Chris owned successful restaurants on the East Coast and was also the executive chef. He has also been a culinary educator, focusing on children with special needs. His attention to detail has helped him run gourmet food stores throughout Baltimore, creating menus, hiring employees and working with health departments to make sure every facet of the kitchen was up to code. Carla and Chris look forward to serving you and making sure they take good care of your home while you're away!

Testimonials
Carla and Chris inspect my rental property providing me with necessary assurance all is well! They inspect for wind and rain damage (monsoon) and exterior leaks. They check the irrigation sprinkler flow to ensure there are no leaks and the trees and plants are healthy, and I get pictures of the landscape and exterior from each visit! This provides me with much needed confidence for the rental property. They even went the extra-mile by assisting me with some tasks to get the property ready for rental.

Chris and Carla watched my home when I was away for a month. They noticed the drip system wasn't working and fixed it. Saved my plants. They watched over everything and I got regular reports. What a lifesaver.

Carla and Chris have been amazing about making sure our home has been cared for in our absence. When we had questions, they responded immediately and were always professional. They sent pictures as well as a completed checklist of what they did. We appreciated their due diligence and extra support when we realized that we had left something important at our home. If you plan on being gone for an extended time, we highly recommend Carla and Chris of Prescott Home Watchers to check on your home. They will treat your home like their own.
