For most people who have them, pets are extremely important to you. Regardless of how hesitant you may or may not have been when you first purchased them, cohabitating with a creature will almost certainly lead to the two of you bonding. Most importantly it leads to you caring deeply for their wellbeing at all times. Even though most people would love to be able to be with their pets all of the time sometimes that simply isn’t possible and you have to be away from home and not able to travel with them. In that instance, you want to know that you your little friend is looked after properly. For this you’ll want to write good instructions to whoever is your minder. Here are 5 tips for doing just that.

Cover Food First

The most important thing to cover is food and water supplies. Your pets are animals so, naturally, there is something of an assumption that they could survive in the wild. “Your absolute priority has to be detailing sustenance for your pet. This is, in some ways, the only thing which matters”, advises Jacob Goldblum, writer at EssayRoo and Write My Paper. In your writing it’s vital that you are clear about portions and locations for all of your pet’s food. Be sure to include the location of the food and leave an ample supply- don’t make the pet sitter have to go out and purchase additional food for you. In the event this needs to happen, be sure to include the pet store you purchased the food with the address, hours etc.

  • Habits

Animals develop habits over time and, if they are fostered by their owners, these could actually become an important part of their lives. Anyone who is given the responsibility of pet sitting needs to be aware of these small habits so that they can make sure your pets are properly looked after. This could be anything and it could be hard to explain it. So, make sure you work on clarity for this. For example, your dog tends to limp when it rains, generally poops twice in the afternoon or only pees on trees if that is what your dog does. Let them know where the nearest tree etc that your pet likes to relieve themselves.

  • Write Effectively

Speaking of clarity, this is just one of the things which can make an effective set of pet-sitter instructions. It’s hard to get this right, since the tone will be informal, but it really is vital in ensuring your pets health and safety in your absence. If you’re worried about wording your instructions you can look to sites like ViaWriting, BoomEssays, SimpleGrad and Academized to help improve your general writing skill. Then if you want to clean up any sneaky mistakes you can checkout sites like PaperFellows and BigAssignments for proofreading purposes. Either way, make sure you get this vital part right.

  • Layout A Walking/Exercise Schedule

If your animal requires exercise, and most do, then you should be looking to give as detailed a schedule for exercise as you possibly can. “For some pets, particularly certain breeds of dog, walking and exercise is vital. Lack of exercise can lead to appetite and behavior changes as well as unhealthiness”, warns Jenna Morgan, writer at UKWritings and OxEssays. Setting out the daily amount of exercise needed for the sitter is very much worthwhile. Be sure to let the pet sitter know if your pup has breed specific issues- for instance if it’s a french bulldog and has trouble breathing in the summer or hotter weather- let them know a relief walk of 5 mins will suffice and to walk in the shade to prevent overheating.

  • Worst Case Details

It’s every owner’s worst nightmare, but if something were to happen to your poor animal, you would need to make sure that you had effectively communicated the procedure for getting help and letting you know. This will probably involve leaving your contact details as well as routes to local vets or places that dispense medication for animals. You want this to be clear, to avoid disaster.

Conclusion

So, make sure you really put in a diligent effort with this task. It’s easily forgotten, but you know your pet so much better than anyone you could possibly leave it to. You have to communicate clearly and effectively to eliminate the possibility of something going wrong or harm coming your pet’s way.
