Close the windows and lock the doors
Before travelers leave the house they should make sure and close all the windows just in case it rains and also for security reasons.

Pets
Travelers with pets should have a family member or friend look after them while they're gone. If the the trip lasts more than a few days, it's recommended that cats and dogs be taken to a pet boarding facility.

Inform neighbors
While you away enjoying your vacation inform your neighbors that you will be away for a certain amount of days so they can see if anything malicious happens to your house.

Garden/lawn Care
If travelers have a lawn or garden without an automatic garden sprinkler system have a friend go round a couple of times a week to give the bushes and flowers a good watering. You can also give access to your gardener.

Settle any bills
Travelers should make sure and pay all bills before their departure to avoid any penalties.

House check
Travelers should have a friend or close family member check on their house every couple of days to make sure everything is okay.
