About Desert Home Guardian Services

Home Watch, Concierge, and Vacation Rental Assistance Services in  in Scottsdale, Fountain Hills, Paradise Valley, Phoenix, and Rio Verde

Local Roots. Professional Excellence.

After successful decades-long careers with Fortune 50 companies, Diane and Pete relocated to Arizona in 1991. They first made their home in Paradise Valley before settling in Fountain Hills, embracing the desert lifestyle they know and love today.

As seasoned travelers themselves, they understand the anxieties homeowners face when away from their properties. This personal experience inspired them to launch DHGS — providing reliable, professional home watch, concierge, and vacation rental services built on trust, transparency, and unmatched attention to detail.
