Who this house sitter instructions binder is for
This binder is for homeowners leaving their house and pets with a house sitter, friend or relative. It suits weekend trips and long vacations alike, and families who use the same sitter often. Even the most capable sitter needs to know where the water shut-off is, how the alarm works and when the dog eats, and a clear binder saves dozens of phone calls while you are away. It also means you can relax knowing your home and pets are in good hands.
How to use your house sitter instructions binder
Write a welcome, list contacts, explain the house, pets and daily routine, add plant care and let the sitter keep a log. Write a warm welcome with your travel dates and how to reach you. List emergency contacts, the vet and a trusted neighbor. Explain the house on the house guide page, including wifi, alarm, heating, trash day and quirks. Describe each pet's feeding, walks and medication. Lay out a simple daily routine and plant watering schedule. Ask your sitter to note anything unusual in the log so you can catch up when you get home.
