Write instructions in visit order
Organize the document around what happens when the sitter arrives, during care and before leaving. A chronological checklist reduces backtracking and missed steps.

Use exact quantities and locations
Replace “normal dinner” with measured food, preparation details and the exact storage location. Note where leashes, cleaning supplies, carriers and medication are kept.

Include normal quirks and clear warning signs. Explain when to contact the owner, veterinarian or emergency clinic so the sitter does not have to guess.
COMMON QUESTIONS
Practical answers.
How detailed should care instructions be?
Detailed enough that a trusted substitute could follow them without calling for routine questions, but concise enough to scan during a visit.
How often should instructions be updated?
Review them before every booking and immediately after changes to medication, diet, access or emergency contacts.
Can owners use this template too?
Yes. It works as a handoff document for professional sitters, friends, family members or boarding care.
What can I try free, and what does $29 include?
Reading this guide and personalizing the partial document previews are free. A one-time $29 payment unlocks the complete eight-document pack as printable PDFs. There is no subscription.
Can I export every resource on this website?
The paid pack contains eight documents: client and pet intake, price sheet, care instructions, visit report, emergency card, welcome guide, home access log and policies. The 50 resource pages are free guides; they are not 50 downloadable templates.
