Pet sitter info sheet

Everything your sitter needs on one page: who to call, what each pet eats and takes, their routines and quirks, and where things are in the house. Fill it in, then print it or send it.

What a good sitter sheet covers

  • Who to call, in order: you, a backup person who can make decisions for your pet, your vet and the nearest emergency vet.
  • A spending limit. If your pet needs care and no one can reach you, the sitter and the clinic need to know how far to go.
  • Each pet's food, medications and routine, written down exactly, with where everything is kept.
  • Quirks and hiding spots. A cat that hides under the bed for two days is normal for some cats and a worry for others. Say which.
  • The ASPCA Animal Poison Control number, 888-426-4435, which the sheet adds for you.

Before you leave, tell your vet's office the sitter may bring your pet in, and leave extra food and medication in case you're delayed. The full list is in What to leave for your pet sitter: a checklist.
