Prepare for a sitter handover
- Generate a departure checklist covering supplies, care information, emergency arrangements, and home access.
- Edit the tasks for your situation and tick them off as you prepare. This checklist tracks readiness; keep the actual care directions in a separate instruction sheet.
- Print or download a copy and review outstanding tasks with the sitter.
A worked example
Tick “Provide the usual veterinary clinic and out-of-hours contact” only after you have shared and checked those details. The checklist itself does not send contacts to anyone.
Common questions
How is this different from sitter instructions?
This is a departure to-do list. The sitter instructions generator holds your dog’s actual routine and contact details.
Can I add personal tasks?
Yes. Choose a section and add a task, or edit the existing wording.
Can I reset it?
Yes. Resetting clears the plan and saved progress after confirmation.
