Pet Sitting Checklist

Please use this checklist to help you and your pet(s) get ready for our visit.  For your convenience, you may print this page as a downloadable pdf.

 

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
