Care Instructions

As you prepare to leave your pet in someone else's care, it's natural to feel anxious about whether they'll receive the same love and attention. Writing clear, detailed care instructions can put your mind at ease, ensuring your pet's routine stays consistent and your sitter knows what to do in case of an emergency.

Before You Start

Consider your pet's daily routine, special needs, feeding schedule, exercise needs, and any medications. Think about their quirks, habits, and preferences, such as fear of loud noises or favorite toys. The more information you provide, the better equipped your sitter will be.

Essential Information

Your care instructions should include:

• Contact information for your pet's veterinarian
• A list of medications, including dosages and administration instructions
• A schedule for feeding, exercise, and playtime
• Information about habits and preferences, such as favorite toys or treats
• Relevant medical history, such as allergies or chronic conditions

Ensuring Your Sitter Follows Instructions

Review your instructions with your sitter before you leave, and consider leaving a copy in a visible location. This will give your sitter easy access to the information they need, and you can feel confident that your pet is in good hands.

With clear instructions, you can trust that your sitter will give your pet the love and attention they deserve, and you'll come home to a happy, healthy pet.
