If you have a separate irrigation system, definitely turn off the water to the house. I would not rent as you want free access to the house for any work you want done. What if you rent and they do not want to leave or do damage to your home? Who would rent your house for only a few months, especially during the summer? House watchers work for a while and then fizzle out. I went through about three of them. I live here full time now so do not need them. I have used Deans for several years and have not had a problem. They are a big organization so they will not take a powder on you.
