House sitter while cruising

We've decided that since we can't seem to sell this damn boat we might as well use it. When we went cruising on our sailboat we didn't have a land based home to worry about. Now we do. So what do people do? Who do you have the alarm company call when the alarm goes off? We have no relatives living in the area. If there is a real problem there are people we can call to board up a window or such but we don't want them to be responsible to answer to the alarm company.

I found a local company that does house sitting, repairs and cleaning and they said they could handle it for $50 a call, but I had a hard time to get them to answer the phone when I tried to call them, so I don't think the alarm company would be happy with them.

The lawn will be taken care of, just need someone to check why the alarm went off and then call the folks to repair the damage or verify that it was a false alarm.

Thanks,

Bob
