Heading away on holiday is exciting, but we know that ensuring your fur-babies are happy and secure is your top priority. To help bring you that peace of mind before you lock the door, here is the ultimate checklist to prepare your pet sitter. 

The “At a Glance” Info

Keep a sheet on the fridge with your emergency contact details, your vet’s address and phone number, and where your pet’s microchip details are kept. 

Routine & Preferences

Write down a “day in the life” guide. Does your dog prefer a specific path on their walk? Does your cat like to be groomed at a certain time? Knowing these small habits makes a big difference to their comfort. 

Supply Check

Ensure there is an abundance of food, treats, and any necessary medications. It’s always best to leave a little extra just in case your return is delayed! 

The Comfort Kit

Leave out your pet’s favourite toys, blankets, or even an item of your clothing—the scent can be incredibly soothing for a pet who is missing their owner. 

Home Logistics

Don’t forget the practical stuff! Provide clear instructions for alarm codes, where to leave the post, and how to operate any specific household features (like your new water feature or heating). 

At Anne’s Pet Care Service, I thrive on these details. When you leave a clear plan behind, I can step in and keep your pet’s life running exactly as if you were still there.
