Your pet sitter can only follow the routine they know about. This pet sitter checklist makes sure everything is written down — from feeding amounts to the vet’s number — before you leave.
Feeding and medication instructions, your vet’s and the emergency vet’s details, a backup contact, house access and any quirks your pet has. A written list beats a quick verbal handover.
Should I authorize vet care in advance?
Yes. Call your vet to give the sitter permission to bring your pet in, and arrange how to pay. In an emergency, it saves critical time.
