Rural property on 5 acres. We have a cat that will need feeding, but if enough food and water and food is left he can be left for 3-4 days. The garden will need watering each week if there is no rain. We have timers on the taps so you can go away and leave them. The house will need to be kept clean and tidy (as you would clean your own) - just normal sweeping/vacuuming, dusting and keeping the basins and toilets clean - definitely no extra cleaning!!
