Hello and Welcome,

We’re Doug and Jeannie, founders of Sisters Home Watch—a locally owned and operated home watch service based here in Sisters, Oregon.  Our first-hand-experience with a major water damage event, ultimately requiring renovation of our family vacation home here on Black Butte Ranch, made us realize how important routine monitoring of an unoccupied home really is.

Before starting Sisters Home Watch, we founded and operated Buell Recreation, a successful company serving cities and schools throughout the Pacific Northwest providing high-quality, accessible playgrounds and outdoor recreation products. One of our final projects was the new playground at Village Green Park in Sisters. We sold our business in 2020 and moved from Portland, Oregon, to live full-time on Black Butte Ranch.  Since then, we've focused on living more locally—while seeking opportunities to continue serving our community in meaningful ways.

Doug brings a background rooted in service and leadership, from the U.S. Marine Corps to managing parks and recreation facilities around the world, to co-founding Buell Recreation and most recently working as a greenskeeper on the golf course at Black Butte Ranch. Jeannie’s strength in customer service, administration, and relationship-building has always ensured that every client feels heard and well supported. Together, we’ve built our reputation on trust, professionalism, and follow-through—and that’s exactly what we bring to Sisters Home Watch.

We know how vulnerable a home can be when left unoccupied, especially in the eastern foothills of the majestic Cascade Mountains surrounded by beautiful ponderosa pine forests, where extreme weather, wildlife and water systems can cause costly damage if not caught early. Our clients choose us because we’re local, experienced and treat every property like it’s our own.
