- How much pumpkin is in the spoon, and should the pill be given if Biscotti refuses the pumpkin?
- Where are the food, wet food cans, and pumpkin kept?
- Where is the gray harness hook, and where do the leash and waste bags go?
- Which door should we use for walks, and should the cat be kept in a certain room while the dog goes out?
- Where does the trash go for pickup, and which bins?
What it does
Takes the notes a pet owner gives you, however messy, and turns them into a clear care sheet you can follow during the stay and keep on file. It keeps every detail the owner gave and flags anything missing so you can ask before the visit.
Use it when: Use when a pet sitter needs to turn a pet owner's rambling notes, texts, or voicemail transcript into a clean, one-page care instruction sheet, such as: make a care sheet, write up the instructions for this client, or organize what the owner told me about their pets.
