Hi & welcome to HC.

I know a week can seem like a long time to be looking at an empty cage when you really want a new hamster but I would wait until you come back from your time away, the first few days a ham can be left to settle but they still need to start getting used to you being around & consistency is important with taming & settling in a new ham so having someone else check on them wouldn't be ideal really.
