Preparation for vacation is always tough but shouldn’t stop you from traveling. By taking preventative measures and being prepared you can be sure that your house is safe while you and the family are away. Follow these four tips to feel some peace of mind while you’re away on your next vacation.

  1. House sitting is the best way to feel safe about leaving your personal belongings at home while you are away. If you don’t have a close relative that is willing to sit in, water the plants, and feed your animals while you are away then you can always hire someone to do it for you!
  2. You can call your local post office to keep your mail while you are out of town. This is free to do and the post office can actually hold your mail for up to 30 days.
  3. Ask a neighbor to collect newspapers, fliers, or any other things that may signify to the public that you’re out of town. This way you can be sure that someone is always keeping an eye out while you’re away.
  4. Lock every lock on every door and window. This may seem obvious but some people forget and when it comes to safety, it pays to be diligent.
