How to use this download
Create a short, practical care handoff when the sitter needs the most important instructions at a glance.
- Write the exact feeding and toilet or litter routine in the order the sitter will need it.
- Add primary and emergency veterinary contacts, owner and backup contacts.
- Explain where food, cleaning supplies and transport equipment are kept.
Practical example
Example: the sitter can identify the next mealtime and the correct food without searching through message threads.
Helpful to know: Use a more detailed binder if multiple animals, complicated routines or prescribed medication make a two-page handoff insufficient.
Fill in the details before the sitter arrives
Write the usual feeding and toilet or litter routine with supply locations, then add the primary veterinarian, owner and backup contacts. Leave clear instructions about any areas that must stay closed and where the carrier or leash is kept. Confirm medication steps directly from prescribed directions. A sitter should not have to guess whether 'evening meal' means 5 pm or 9 pm.
Practical ways to use the pages
- Put the upcoming visit and exact feeding instructions before long background notes, so a new sitter can act immediately.
- Identify the owner, backup and current veterinary contacts, plus any safety rule about doors, walks and pet introductions.
- Test the handover by asking the sitter to explain what they will do if the pet refuses food or you cannot be reached.
Realistic planning example
A concise sitter page can say 'evening visit at agreed time, food in labeled container, secure rear gate, message owner when finished' instead of burying the instructions in chat history.
