Ideally, there would be someone to look in on her at least once or twice while you're gone, but you can get a timer for the lights. They even have automatic feeders to feed them pellets, but I don't know how reliable they are. My friend's works well, but the one I bought jammed often enough that I don't use it. I know someone who leaves his turtle for a week a couple of times a year. He puts in a bunch of feeder fish and has his lights on timers. It's an adult RES and hasn't had a problem.
