Frequently asked
Before you buy
Is anything posted to me?
No. This is a digital download delivered through Etsy. You print the PDFs yourself.
Can I type into the sheets?
No. They are print-and-write sheets rather than editable PDF forms. The supplied pages are blank.
Can I print another daily log?
Yes. For personal use, you can reprint individual sheets whenever another day or trip needs one.
Does this include full health records?
No. This pack focuses on the sitter handover. The separate Pet Care and Sitter Binder adds vaccinations, health history, vet visits, grooming, documents, costs and yearly records.
Which pets can I use it for?
The labels are species-neutral, so the pack can be used for a dog, cat or another household pet whose routine can be written into the fields.
