So you’re new to the world of hiring a pet sitter to look after your cats? It can be daunting and stressful having to think about what you might need and you’ll likely end up with that “Have I forgotten something?” thought! So to help ease your stress here is a handy bullet point checklist of what we would expect you to have done prior to having us come look after your furbabies!
| Question | Done ✅ |
| Have I got enough food to last the booking? | |
| Have I got enough litter (if required) to last the booking? | |
| Have I handed keys or alarm/lock box codes to the pet sitter? | |
| Have I informed my vet about the pet sitter coming to look after my pets? | |
| Have I left out medication for my pets and left instructions for the pet sitter (if required)? | |
| Have I double-checked the booking dates and visits with the pet sitter? | |
| Are my emergency contact details up to date? | |
| Are cleaning products easy to find for your pet sitter should they need them? | |
| Is your home tidy and free of obstructions (can the sitter safely move around your home)? | |
| Is your cat flap setup properly/does the sitter know how to operate it (if required)? | |
| Have you setup a calming diffuser to help keep your pets calm (if required)? | |
| Are your pets all inside your home when leaving (if out, inform the sitter)? |
