My home

- When I'm away from home / When I'm absent from home, they will look after my home.

- Why don't we use "my HOUSE" here?

Thanks very much to Teachers,

You can use "my house". In fact, I use "house" more often than "home" in this context. When I'm away from my house, my neighbors look after it.

I would not use "absent" in this context. Absent means you are not in a place when you normally should be there:

"absent from school"
"absent from work"
