- Consider having someone pet sit or even house sit: If you have trusted friend or family member who is willing to stay at your home while you are away, you may want to consider asking them to assume the role of house sitter or pet sitter. This is a nice way to know without question that your home is being taken care of, while at the same time, making sure that your home is also being protected. Make sure as well to give all the information they will need to run things while you are away.
- Have newspaper and mail delivery temporarily halted: When newspapers and mail build up in your mailbox, you’re sending a clear sign to intruders that your home is easy pickings. Have a temporary hold put on your mail and/or newspapers.
- If you can’t get a house or pet sitter…: If you can’t have someone actually stay at your house for a little while, then at least make sure someone can stop by every day or two to pull fliers away from your door, or just check up on things.
