Tips Before You Go
- Clean
out your refrigerator to prevent food spoilage.
- Wash
any dirty dishes to avoid attracting pests and make the sink
free for the sitter.
- Move
valuables away from the windows.
- Put
away bikes, outdoor toys and lawn furniture to prevent them from
being stolen.
- Mow
your grass. If it's winter, arrange for someone to
shovel snow.
- Secure
any outside gates (to the dog lot, swimming pool).
- Make
sure all doors and windows are locked.
- Do
not hide keys for the sitter or others who might be entering
your home while you're away.
