Before you leave your pet with anyone, cover these.

  • Are you insured, and does it cover care and custody?
  • How many other pets will you have at the same time?
  • Will my pet ever be left alone, and for how long?
  • What is your emergency plan, and which vet would you use?
  • Can you administer medication?
  • Will you send daily updates and photos?
  • What happens if you are ill?

Paperwork

Leave written instructions: feeding amounts and times, medication, vet details, microchip number, your contact numbers and a local backup contact.

Do a handover visit

Meet in your home, walk through the routine, and watch how they greet your pet.
