Dog Boarding Instructions Template

Boarding facilities and in-home sitters both work best with a written instruction sheet, not just a verbal briefing at drop-off.

What to Include

• Dog's name, breed, age, and weight
• Food brand, quantity, and feeding times
• Any medications with exact dosing
• Walk and exercise needs
• Sleeping and crate habits
• Vet contact and emergency contact
• Likes, dislikes, and comfort items (favorite toy or blanket)

Format Tip

Keep it to one page so staff can scan it quickly during a busy shift. Bullet points work better than paragraphs.
