For new pet sitters
Pet Sitter Startup Pack
The paperwork side of starting out: a services and pricing worksheet, a meet-and-greet checklist for the first visit, and a client intake section that covers the household and access — parking, alarms, keys and codes, the fuse box and water shut-off — and then each animal: who they are, how they are fed and watered, their medication and allergies, how they behave with strangers and other animals, and their vet, the after-hours clinic and who may authorize treatment.
It also works through the job itself: a drop-in visit, a dog walk, an overnight stay, a multi-pet household, and an avian or exotic client. There are also visit and incident reports, a medication log, an invoice and a work record, and an emergency vet authorization form.

What you get
Each pack is a printable PDF you print at home, as often as you like. Choosing a pack takes you to Stripe's own secure checkout, which shows you the amount before you confirm anything, and your download is ready as soon as the payment goes through.
The forms inside are blank on purpose. Everything that depends on you — your vet, the clinic that is open at night, your phone number, your address, your rates, the wording of your own policies — is yours to fill in, so nothing in a pack invents a business or a price for you.
If a pack does not fit the way you care for your animals, tell us. We look forward to feedback to improve or add to our packs.
