A filled-in example

This is what a finished sheet looks like for Bella, with her photo, description and microchip number at the top. If a pet ever slips out, the sitter has everything a shelter or vet will ask for.

What to put in pet sitter instructions

  • How to reach you. Your phone and email, and the dates you'll be away.
  • A backup contact. Someone nearby who can make decisions if you can't be reached.
  • Your vet and the emergency vet. Clinic names, phone numbers and addresses, so the sitter isn't searching at 2 a.m.
  • A photo, description and microchip number. If your pet slips out, the sitter can show the photo and give shelters the chip number.
  • Feeding. When, how much, and what's off-limits. Treats count.
  • Walks and routines. Times, leash habits, and anything your pet does that might worry a stranger.
  • Medications and supplements. The name, the dose, the time, and how you usually give it.
  • The house. Door codes, where the food and leash live, and which rooms are off-limits.

Keep it ready for next time

Pawfolio Free builds this same sheet from your pet profiles and medications, so it's ready the next time you travel. Text it to your sitter with tap-to-call numbers. No account, and your records stay on your phone.

Questions

Is this really free?

Yes. No signup and no email. Fill it in, print it, and you're done.

Where does what I type go?

Nowhere. It stays in this browser on this device so it's still here if you come back. Clear sheet erases it.

Is there a PDF version?

Yes. Download the free pet sitter instructions PDF. It's one page, prints on letter paper, and has space to write everything in by hand. There's also a filled-in example PDF.

Can I print it blank and fill it in by hand?

Yes. Download the blank PDF, or tap Print without typing anything. Either way you get a one-page sheet with space to write.

Where does my pet's photo go?

It stays in this browser with the rest of the sheet and prints at the top of that pet's section. Nothing is uploaded.

Can I send it to my sitter instead of printing it?

This page prints. Pawfolio Free builds the same sheet from your pet profiles and medications, keeps it for next time, and lets you text it to your sitter with tap-to-call numbers.
