One big reason to say no is that if something happens to your neighbor’s/friend’s/relative’s property, you could be held liable by whomever asked and/or their insurance company. As has been said, checking for mail, noticing if a sprinkler is broken, etc. for a week or two is one thing but to do so for 30 days or more is too much risk.
