An empty house shows quickly: overflowing post, shutters that never move, a full letterbox. Regular visits keep up the signs of life, collect the post and allow an early reaction if something goes wrong. On Helplease, you describe your needs and the workers offering this service in Virgin Islands (British) are notified of your request.
Depending on the agreement, the mission can include the agreed visits, airing, collecting the post, watering, checking that everything is closed and there is no leak, and a report after each visit.
Hand the keys over in person, with a written list of what is allowed, and take them back at the end: no copies are made. Alarm codes are given to one person only and changed afterwards if needed. The worker invites nobody and posts nothing about your home; on your side, avoid announcing your absence on social media.
Leave in writing what needs to be known: where the water, electricity and gas shut-offs are, how the alarm works, quirks of the appliances and who to contact. In case of a leak, a power cut, damage or an attempted break-in, the worker contacts you immediately and alerts the relevant services if needed. No repair is undertaken without your agreement.
The rate is agreed with the worker based on these elements.

Leaving with peace of mind means someone can react: a leak, a power cut or a door left unlocked are better dealt with the same day than on your return three weeks later. On Helplease, you describe your needs and the workers offering this service in Virgin Islands (British) are notified of your request.
Depending on the agreement, the mission can include the planned visits, checking closures and installations, collecting the post, immediate alert in case of a problem and a report after each visit.

Three weeks without water is enough to lose plants that took years to grow. Regular visits with watering suited to each species avoid both drying out and overwatering. On Helplease, you describe your needs and the workers offering this service in Virgin Islands (British) are notified of your request.
Depending on the agreement, the mission can include the agreed visits, watering per your instructions, airing, an update on the plants' condition and a photo after each visit.

Staying home all day for a delivery slot is not always possible. The worker waits for the courier, takes the parcel and keeps it until you are back. On Helplease, you describe your needs and the workers offering this service in Virgin Islands (British) are notified of your request.
Depending on the agreement, the mission can include waiting during the agreed slot, taking delivery, checking the apparent condition, safekeeping and handover with confirmation.
The worker receives and keeps parcels in a dry, safe place, without opening them, and hands them to you with confirmation. Agree in advance what may be accepted: a cash-on-delivery parcel, a delivery not in your name or a package of unknown origin is not accepted. Fragile or valuable parcels are flagged in the request.

An animal that stays home keeps its bearings, provided someone really comes by. Meals, water, litter and a moment of company are often enough for the absence to go well. On Helplease, you describe your needs and the workers offering this service in Virgin Islands (British) are notified of your request.
Depending on the agreement, the mission can include the agreed visits, meals per your instructions, water, cleaning, time spent with the animal and a report with a photo.
Leave in writing the food, quantities, times, habits and the vet's contact details, with the health record accessible. No medicine is given without precise written instructions. Any loss of appetite, limping, repeated vomiting or change in behaviour is reported to you immediately, and in an emergency the vet is contacted under the authorisation agreed in advance.

A dog that does not get out becomes restless, barks and sometimes damages the home. Regular walks, at its usual times and suited to its age, keep it balanced while you are away. On Helplease, you describe your needs and the workers offering this service in Virgin Islands (British) are notified of your request.
Depending on the agreement, the mission can include collecting the dog, the agreed walk, the return home, fresh water, some time with the animal and a report with a photo.
In public, the dog stays on the lead and wears its identification; it is only let off in an authorised area and if its recall is reliable. In hot weather, walks happen early or late, never on burning tarmac, and the dog is never left alone in a vehicle. Waste bags are used every time, and a tense encounter with another dog is defused by moving away rather than pulling on the lead.

An overflowing letterbox signals an absence and loses important mail. Regular visits empty the box, put the post somewhere safe and flag anything that cannot wait until you return. On Helplease, you describe your needs and the workers offering this service in Virgin Islands (British) are notified of your request.
Depending on the agreement, the mission can include the agreed visits, collecting the post, storing it inside, flagging anything that looks urgent and a report after each visit.

Waiting for a tradesperson or a technician, opening up for a bulky delivery, being present during works, keeping an eye on premises or a closed shop: some needs are not among the listed services. On Helplease, you describe your needs and the workers offering this service in Virgin Islands (British) are notified of your request.
Before choosing this service, check whether a more specific one exists: house sitting, holiday home watch, watering, parcel receiving, pets or post collection. Otherwise, describe the need, the times and the instructions.
