Eight boxes in two columns. The left column starts with the animals themselves — name, species and breed, age, sex, colour and markings, microchip and where they sleep — then gives ruled space for the daily routine with times, for food and water, and for medication: what, how much and when. The right column opens with who to call: you, a second contact, the vet clinic, an out-of-hours vet and the insurance policy number, each on its own line.
The three ruled boxes underneath are the ones that make a stay go smoothly. Habits, fears and warnings is where you write that the cat bolts when the doorbell goes, or that the dog is fine with everyone except the bin lorry. House rules and jobs covers the sofa, the bins, the plants and the alarm. Where things are kept saves your sitter opening every cupboard looking for the lead, the litter or the spare towels.
Each ruled box is a form field you can type into, so you can keep one filled-in copy on your computer, change the dates and print it for every sitter, or print it blank and write it out by hand before you leave. Nothing is pre-printed except the headings, because no two households run the same way and a list of somebody else's rules is no use to yours. It is one page by design: a sheet that fits on a fridge door gets read, and a four-page folder does not. US Letter or A4.
