Should I include Wi-Fi and door codes?

Yes if the sitter needs them—and update codes after the stay. Store sensitive access notes carefully and share only with the caregiver on duty.

What if my pet is on multiple medications?

Use the medication-heavy or feeding-and-meds schedule variants so each dose has a checkbox and escalation rule.

Can this replace a boarding form?

Use it as your owner packet. Facilities still need their own intake forms and vaccine proof—pair this with a boarding vaccine sheet when required.

What sitters actually need

Good sitters ask for routines, medications, personality quirks, and what to do if they cannot reach you. This template turns those answers into one printable page instead of a long text thread.

Variants for reactive dogs, special diets, overnight stays, and boarding drop-offs keep the prompts specific so nothing critical is buried.

Walkthrough checklist

Fill the sheet, then demonstrate one feeding and one medication if applicable. Show litter/crate/yard routines in person when you can. Leave ER authorization limits in writing.

Reuse for every trip

After unlock, keep the master copy in PetClues. Duplicate and tweak for holiday weekends, walkers, or professional sitters without rewriting from scratch.
