My In laws as they come round to pick the dog up to walk her.

Adult step son and daughter.

The neighbour (cat feeding)

Some friends who live a mile away in case there's an emergency if we are away.

No one. I used to give my mum and dad a key but they used to let themselves in without knocking, usually when I was in the bath, so when I moved house I never gave them a key.

Nobody aside from those who live there. But significant people know how to get hold of one should they need to.

My 3 sons who each live within a 10 mile radius, for emergencies as I am disabled.

Next door neighbours (both sides), dog walker, cleaner, friend who lives up the road and currently have builders working at the house so they have a key too

This is us 😂The old lady next to us has a key... She has become immobile in the last year or so but I didn't want to ask for the key back as I didn't want to offend her so I just got more keys cut for other neighbours. I take British politeness and not upsetting people far more seriously than security it would appear 😂(although I'm not sure she would actually be offended - just my over paranoid mind!)

Just the neighbours for cat-sitting/parcel-retrieval/letting us in if we lock ourselves out purposes. We have theirs for the same reasons, though it also extends to text exchanges such as “Don’t suppose you have such-and-such an ingredient we could borrow?” “Yes, we’re not in but help yourself - cupboard on the left.”

Key safe but two neighbours have keys too for pet feeding, and I have theirs in return. Did mean when I was out the other day and neighbour locked herself out she could use the key safe, let herself in to mine, get her key and get back in to her house for which she was very thankful.

I had locks changed when I moved in so any keys anyone else had such as the estate agent’s set, promptly became unusable.
