How should pet sitters leave the bed at the end of service?

Should I strip the bed AND put linens in the washer? Should I make the bed too?

I wash the sheets and any towels I have used during my stay & remake the bed. I like to be gone when people get home because nobody really wants or needs to deal with someone in their house after a long day of travel. It's my policy to leave the house as I found it so that when the owners come home they don't even know I existed, except for the tank you card I leave along with extra notes that I may have. That way they can just relax back into their life.

*Since I leave before they get back I do let them know that if there are travel delays to let me know and I will return to their house should they need me to.

Hey Debbie, while you can text and ask this...I believe most owners see this as a nice extra that you might do. I personally always strip linens and any hand and kitchen towels I have used and wash and at least have in dryer before I leave. Then I simply let them know either in my leaving message or on a note at the home that the sheets are in the dryer.

Once when a couples flight was arriving around 1 am I had washed sheets earlier in the day and remade the bed and slept on couch until they arrived and went home. Hope this was not to late.

You should have discussed this with the client so there is no right answer. Send them a text and ask
