While we’re away: a handover sheet for a neighbour or house-sitter

Fill it in before you go and leave it with the person keeping an eye on your home, with the key. Take it back when you’re home.

The first page of the colour sheet: dates away and how to reach you, who else has a key, what to check when calling in, and who to ring in an emergency, with a reminder never to write alarm codes or PINs on it
Where it goes
With a neighbour or house-sitter
Who it is for
