Turning the water off is a pet peeve of mine as I have several friend's horror stories. A few years ago, my home watcher knew I was returning sometime the following week. On Friday sent me my weekly email and said: "things look great, welcome home and I turned on the water for your return". They were great folks and believed they were doing me a favor. I asked them to do me a another favor and please return and turn the water main off. They did and I slept a little better....
PS. I just turn our water heater down, works for us, but that does not seem to be the consensus.

Turn it off...no reason to have it doing ANY heating of water. Just pop the breaker. I pop all but what need to be on.
