A pet sitter instructions template is useful only when it reflects the pets and routines in your home. PawProof helps you organize feeding notes, access details, emergency contacts, prescribed medication instructions, and supporting documents into a practical handoff without turning it into an overwhelming file dump.
- +Owner, backup caregiver, and veterinary contact details
- +Feeding routines and practical household notes
- +Medication names and timing supplied by your veterinarian
- +Behavior, access, and comfort notes for each pet
- +Emergency and vaccine documents relevant to the stay
Build pet sitter instructions for each pet
Separate dog sitter instructions and cat sitter instructions by profile, especially when routines differ. A sitter should be able to tell which food, medication note, carrier, and contact belongs to which animal without guessing.
Include the records a sitter may actually need
A concise pet sitter information sheet can point to emergency contacts, current medications, veterinarian details, and relevant documents. Keep full medical files available, but do not bury the everyday instructions under paperwork the sitter is unlikely to use.
Review the handoff before you leave
Confirm that phone numbers, access notes, routines, and medication instructions are current. PawProof organizes the information you enter; it does not create dosing or medical guidance for a sitter.
Frequently asked questions
- What should pet sitter instructions include?
- Include contacts, feeding routines, access notes, behavior details, veterinarian-provided medication instructions, and records relevant to the stay.
- Can I use the same checklist for dogs and cats?
- Use the same categories, but keep the details separate for each pet. Their routines, hiding places, carriers, medications, and care notes may be different.
- Does PawProof provide medication or dosing instructions?
- No. PawProof stores the instructions you enter from your veterinarian. Confirm any unclear medication details with the prescribing clinic before the handoff.
- Is this a static blank sitter form?
- No. PawProof organizes the current information saved for each pet, so the handoff can reflect the household rather than a generic blank template.
