Complete care for one or more pets
Use the general pet instructions for mixed or multi-pet households and an all-round routine, contact and safety brief.

A clearer brief starts with the right questions.
Choose the tool that matches the care you are handing over. Each one guides you through the important details, updates a live preview and works without registration.

Which free sitter tool should I use?
Start with the smallest useful document. A complete brief covers the whole handover; a focused sheet makes one routine easier to scan. You can use both when that is clearer for your sitter.
Dog or cat routines need more detail
Choose the species-specific version when walks, litter, handling, hiding or escape rules need their own prompts.
One routine needs a scan-friendly sheet
Add a focused feeding schedule, medication record or emergency card when those details must be especially quick to find.
The home has its own handover
Use the house sitter checklist for access, bins, heating, plants and return tasks. Add a pet brief separately if needed.

Four different briefs, not four copies.
Every tool asks questions and flags missing details for that specific handover.
