Another suggestion is to introduce yourself and your family to your neighbours. Find a neighbour you trust with your contact number should they find anything suspicious while your are gone (WhatsApp is free). Also, hire a property management service and let your neighbour know this with the name of the company. Someone will check your unit or house as often as you think is required. They will "air out" your unit or house, water your plants, flush all the toilets, look after your pool, etc. They are not as expensive as you think.
If you rent out your property while you're gone, again hire a property management service to deal with your unit.
