If you have a nice reputable reptile store close to you, you may want to inquire if
they do any sort of boarding. I am fortunate enough to have developed a good
relationship with the guys who work in the reptile area of a very nice petstore where
I buy all my gecko food, and they offered to board my "kids" while I was on vacation a
while back. They were going to charge me a fee (don't remember exactly what it was),
but it would have been worth whatever it was for the peace of mind I would have had
knowing they were being taken care of by someone who is knowledgeable. I don't think
they advertise that they offer this service, but because I am in there quite a bit,
they mentioned it to me. You just might want to explore the idea if you have a store
you frequent.

some other things might be important to consider as well. Temperature with
in the home, will they be with in normal range? If people are away and have
windows closed, will the home overheat enough to kill animals?
Geckos with special humidity requirements, some can not eat for a few days,
but must drink or have proper humidity. Maybe someone can come in and mist
cages. This often is enough for a short vacation.
