Pet Sitter Information Sheet: What to Leave Your Sitter
By the Brainfy Studio editorial team · Published
A good sitter can only follow the instructions they're given. Written instructions prevent the 'is she allowed treats?' text at 10pm.
The essentials
- Your contact details and a backup contact.
- Vet and 24-hour emergency clinic.
- A written authorisation and spending limit for emergency care.
- Feeding amounts, times and foods to never give.
- Walk and toilet routine.
- Medications with exact instructions from your vet.
- House notes: keys, alarm, where supplies are.
Ask for a daily report
A simple report — fed, walked, toilet, meds, notes — gives you peace of mind and catches small health changes early.
Questions
Is the authorisation form legally binding?
It's a written record of your instructions. Clinics may have their own forms; ask yours.
