I need written instructions upon house and pet needs. For example, the quantity of food a per needs or any warning of allergen etc. It is important to me to know your house boundaries so I can not only respect that space but ensure I am caring for it properly. If plants need watering, be sure to either map out which and how much or preferably meet me prior to take me through the steps. Meeting prior is also important in establishing a relationship and handing off any key. I know how to manage litter boxes and picking up dog’s own “litter.” Another important detail is to inform me of cleaning supplies and how to operate around your house if dishwashing is needed while I stay (note that house sitting is more than pet sitting solely in cost). Other necessary details are if an animal is vaccinated or not. Along with any habits of peeing/throwing up and what behavior they display when gone.
