Prior to leaving for your holiday, remember to ensure your property and pets are looked after.

Organising your house may involve:

• Notifying security companies
• Paying bills that will be due
• Having someone come and house-sit for you
• Organising the collection of your mail
• Putting out your rubbish for collection (or organising someone to do it for you)
• Organising your garden to be watered

Pets are something not to forget also, whether it is a bird or fish that needs feeding or a cat or dog that needs to go to a cattery or kennel place.  Just make sure this is on your ‘To Do’ list!
