Looking for advice on handling tenant while out of the country

Hello everyone, I recently bought my first investment property and my first tenants move in today. They seem like great people and I'm very excited. However, I am leaving the country soon for a week long vacation and wasn't sure of the best way to ensure they're taken care of while I'm gone. Since I only have one property I do not have a property management company and don't believe I can sign one for just one week. My girlfriend will be able to receive texts (at least that's the plan) and I will have internet at times. However, there will be a six hour time zone difference. Hopefully, they don't need to contact me, but any suggestions on how to ensure they're needs are met while I'm gone would be appreciated.

    Just let your tenant know you will be out of town for a week and they can contact your girlfriend should they need to get in contact with you.  It should be fine.
