How to avoid leaving your property vulnerable while you're on holiday

House-sitting is an increasingly growing way many people are using in order to leave their place of residence without it being vulnerable to theft, long term-damage from housing problems, and to have pets taken care of.

This peace of mind from the knowledge that your home is being cared for while you are away, allows one to make the fullest of any holiday. After all going on a trip with pets can be a hassle. So being able to have a sitter look after them while you enjoy yourself is better for everyone.
