Please use this checklist to help you and your pet(s) get ready for our visit.  You may print this page
or print from our Forms & Policies page.

Plan Ahead:  By planning ahead, you will save your pet sitter a lot of time which will leave more time for your pet(s)
.
  • Call your vet ahead of time and leave credit card number in case of emergency.
  • When providing an extra key, be sure it works first.
  • Have extra supplies available in the event you cannot return when expected.
  • Make arrangements for snow removal.
  • Leave everything needed for the pet sitter in one general area.
  • If requiring night visits, put a timer on lights so we can find the keyhole easily.
  • Leave a key for a neighbor in case of an emergency or in the event of extreme weather.  
  • Alert the alarm company of authorized person in home.
  • Make sure all pets are wearing their collars with identification.  Put new, fresh batteries in
    electronic collars.
  • Leave some emergency numbers behind (e.g., plumber, electrician, etc).
  • Take our business card with you just in case you need to contact us should you be delayed.
