Dog Sitter Emergency Instructions

Emergencies are rare, but a sitter without clear instructions can lose critical time.

Must-Have Contacts

• Primary vet — name, phone, address
• Nearest 24-hour emergency animal hospital
• Your phone number and an alternate contact if you're unreachable

Medical Info

List any known allergies, chronic conditions, and current medications, plus your dog's normal behavior so a sitter can spot something "off" quickly.

What to Do If Something Happens

Give simple instructions: call the vet first, then you, and only transport the dog if advised. Keep this section short and easy to follow under stress.
