Before and after

BEFORE · what the owner typed
Need a key sheet for Claudia Olsen, 6194 Lynnwick St, Dawnhurst. Northwick Pet Care is doing her 2 cats and a bearded dragon named Ignatius while she's away, Mar 14 to Mar 21. She gave Colette Phan (our sitter) a brass front door key with a green tag, handed over in person Mar 10 around 4pm at our office. Also a garage keypad code, she texted it to Colette, I think. Colette will use the side garage door, not the front, after 6pm because of the neighbor's dog. Alarm is on, Claudia said the code is 4 digits and she'd tell Colette by phone. Key goes back to Claudia in person on Mar 22 at the office. Backup sitter is Cyrus Serrano, he's covering Mar 17 only because Colette has a day off, he'll pick up the key from Colette at the office that morning. No copies made as far as I know. Claudia's number is 402-555-0128. Our office is 402-555-0129.

What it does

Builds a written checklist for every key, code, or other way into a client's home. It records who has what, when it was handed over, and when it must come back, so nothing gets lost or left with the wrong person.

Use it when: Use when a pet sitting business needs to record, confirm, or hand off a client's house key, door code, garage opener, alarm, or other home access details, such as "log the key for this client," "make a key handoff sheet," or "who has the keys for this job."
