I'm not an expert, but:
Water turned off at outside meter (I do not drain the lines in the house. There is not enough water in there to create a lot of damage as far as I'm concerned. Our plumbing lines are all in the attic. If there is a pipe leak from a rodent, I want to see evidence when I come home and be able to fix it before turning the water back on.)
Water heater off (If you leave the water turned on you can just place it in vacatin mode)
We have a cheap timer that we set to turn a light on and the off at our bed time. Makes it look lived in. You can also set up a radio on a timer, or program your tv to come on and off at a specific time. It just makes it seem like some one is there.
We also have motion sensitive security lights on the outside. (Theives do no like light)
Get rid of the food in the refrigerator. (Don't ask how I know this) And maybe even the freezer, but that could be a lot of food. Two weeks of house checking will not keep things from smelling should the power be disrupted for a long period of time.
Those are just a few I can think of off of the top of my head. DW takes care of a lot of the inside items when we pack up and travel.
Happy trails.
