A Trusted Tool for Everyday House Sitting Success

During a sit, it’s the small daily details that can trip you up—feeding routines, bin night, watering schedules, alarm codes. Even with the best intentions, it's easy to forget something if it’s not written down. The Pet & Home Care Essentials Template is a clear, fridge-friendly form that keeps daily care instructions visible, consistent, and easy to follow. It’s an editable PDF you can fill out digitally or print a fridge-friendly version. Use it to track key routines like feeding times, medications, walks, mail, cleaning, bins, plants, and anything else that needs attention while the homeowner’s away. Whether it’s filled out by the sitter or the homeowner, it becomes a shared reference that keeps the sit running smoothly. Not every homeowner provides a full guide—and even if they do, it’s rarely practical for day-to-day use. This form was created to bridge that gap, so the essentials don’t get lost in a long document or forgotten during a rushed handover. It’s simple, practical, and designed for real-world sits. Fill it in once, keep it visible, and rely on it every day.

Why You Need this Form

Hey There!  I'm Belinda - the co-founder of House Siting 101™. Thank you for stopping by! When you’re staying in someone else’s home, it’s the little things that keep everything running smoothly—feeding routines, mail collection, bin night, how the security system works. But not every homeowner leaves that information clearly laid out, and even the most thorough sitters can forget something when it’s buried in a 20-page guide or a scattered message thread. That’s why I created this form. It’s designed to hold just the right amount of detail—not overwhelming, but enough to keep the sit ticking along without second-guessing. You can fill it in digitally or print it out and stick it somewhere visible. Some homeowners use it to prepare for departure, others leave it blank and let me fill it out as we go. Either way, it becomes the shared go-to for daily routines. It makes your sit feel smooth, professional, and above all, reliable. This is the form I reach for on day one—and refer to every single day after.

Make Daily Care Clear, Calm, and Consistent

From feeding routines to rubbish night, this template keeps everything visible, organised, and easy to follow—before the sit even begins.
