I do it all the time. Just have a 25 gal full of ro water beside the tank and instruct the person to just add water up to the line in the sump ( use black marker to draw line on sump glass). Turn skimmer down a notch ( less chance of overflow) and only feed every other day. Don't add any additives during this time. After 3 weeks, you might come home to a tank that's got a lot of film algae on the glass, but everything else should be ok.
