I don't think they use a lockbox. They have a key. Personally, I would turn off the water and leave it off. No need to flush toilets. I have seen two houses totally destroyed by leaking toilets because someone did not turn the water back on. I think a home watch company would expect you to file a homeowner insurance claim for extensive damage.

The Community Watch department offers a very inexpensive home watch service, but they do not go inside of your house. A few inside wifi cameras may substitute for a home watch service.
