What information to prepare for your in-home dogsitter

The logistics of having someone stay in your home and care for your dog(s)/pets is not something to be overlooked!

Here is a preparatory list before you hand over your pooch to think about so that I know what to expect.

Dog(s)

  • feeding instructions (frequency/food location)
  • allergies/any medical concerns or history
  • preferred walk routes and times
  • where he/she sleeps
  • whether on or off leash walks/runs
  • what level of daily exercise should we plan for

House

  • access
  • alarms
  • wifi password
  • garbage/recycling
  • heat/fireplace instructions
  • parking access
  • snow removal details

General

  • Emergency contact info for house and dog(s)
