* Use timers for tv and lights. Several rooms should have timers on lighting. Set the timings of the lights so it looks as if someone is home. At sundown the living room lights should switch on. Later the living room lights should be put out and the lights in your bedroom should turn on.
If you on the tv set at 7 pm most days and you watch it till 11 pm have the timer set accordingly. The living room light may be on but the absence of light from the tv can be a sign that the home is unoccupied.

* If you rent the apartment notify the owner that the house will be empty. The homeowner may want to check on the home now and then.
* If you have installed a home security system see to it that the the person who is doing the house sitting knows how to operate it.
* Make sure the house sitter knows how to contact you. Whoever is watching over the home should be aware of who they should call should any issue crop up.
