"He was snooping around our house for 16 minutes," Schweitzer wrote.

The mom said that two kids and her 1-year-old child, who was sleeping, were inside while the stranger roamed unbeknownst to any adults. She added that five adults were in the backyard with one other child at the time.

Schweitzer told WHDH-TV that the man didn’t take anything or go into any of the rooms.

"Stood in the hallway while a child walked past him twice, he stood outside a 1-year-old’s bedroom, and then he made eye contact with my 5-year-old son who was standing on the first floor. And then he pet my dog," she told the station. "I don’t know, what else would he be doing?"

Schweitzer asked the public to "beware" and alert police for any information about the man.

Authorities asked anyone with information about the suspect to call Northbridge police.
