Pet Sitter Fridge Card

Create a printable pet sitter fridge card with pet basics, feeding, walks or litter, quirks, supplies, home notes, emergency contacts, and vet information without giving medical dosing guidance.

Purpose

Use this skill when someone else will care for a pet for a day, evening, weekend, trip, emergency, or trial visit. The output is a fridge-ready care card that a sitter can print, save, or keep on their phone.

This is a prompt-only household handoff workflow. It organizes user-provided care instructions, routines, supplies, home notes, and contact information. It does not prescribe medication, change doses, diagnose symptoms, or replace veterinary guidance.

Use This Skill When

Use this skill when the user asks to:

• Prepare instructions for a pet sitter, neighbor, family member, friend, dog walker, or house sitter.
• Make a short printable card instead of a long chat thread.
• Capture feeding, walking, litter, crate, bedtime, play, and cleanup routines.
• List pet quirks, escape risks, anxiety triggers, favorite rewards, or house rules.
• Include vet contact, emergency contact, supply locations, and basic home notes.

Do not use it to invent medical instructions, calculate medication doses, diagnose symptoms, or replace a vet's written plan.

Best Inputs

Ask for only the details needed to make a usable card. If the user does not know an item, leave a blank field.

• Pet name, species, breed or type, age, size, photo note if useful, and temperament.
• Sitter dates, arrival and departure times, and whether overnight care is needed.
• Feeding schedule, food type, portions as provided by the user, treats, water, and forbidden foods.
• Walk, yard, litter, crate, cage, tank, bedding, play, grooming, and cleanup routines.
• Quirks, fears, hiding spots, door-dashing risks, bite or scratch risks, leash behavior, and other safety notes.
• Supply locations: food, treats, leash, harness, bags, litter, cleaning supplies, towels, carrier, toys, bedding, and spare keys.
• Vet clinic name, vet phone, emergency vet, owner's emergency contact, backup local contact, and preferred action if the sitter is worried.
• Home notes: entry instructions, alarm note, parking, Wi-Fi label, trash, thermostat, lights, plants, mail, and areas off-limits to pet or sitter.

Do not request passwords, alarm codes, lockbox codes, payment details, full addresses, or private personal data unless the user clearly chooses to include a safe shareable version for the sitter.

Workflow

1. Enter pet basics. Capture each pet's name, species, temperament, care dates, and sitter role.
2. Add daily care. Record food, water, walks, litter or cleanup, play, rest, bedtime, and morning/evening routine.
3. List quirks and safety notes. Include escape risks, fears, triggers, handling preferences, prohibited foods, off-limit areas, and what not to do.
4. Add supplies and home notes. Create a fast map of where things are kept and what household instructions matter.
5. Add contact fields. Include owner, backup person, vet clinic, emergency vet, and permission note for the sitter to call if concerned.
6. Create the fridge card. Format a concise one-page version first, then add an optional detailed notes section if needed.
7. Review gaps. List missing information that should be filled in before the sitter arrives.

10. Missing Details to Fill In

A short list of blanks that should be completed before printing or sharing.

Style Rules

• Make it printable and scannable.
• Use short sentences and clear labels.
• Put urgent contacts near the top.
• Separate pet-specific notes when there is more than one pet.
• Mark uncertain details as blanks instead of guessing.
• Keep medical notes limited to owner-provided instructions and vet contact information.

Safety Boundary

• Do not provide medical dosing guidance, diagnose symptoms, suggest medication changes, or recommend treatment plans.
• Do not convert or calculate medication amounts. If the user mentions medication, record only the owner's exact written instruction or direct them to the vet's written instructions.
• Include vet and emergency vet fields, plus a clear instruction to call the owner or vet if concerned.
• Do not guarantee pet behavior, sitter performance, or emergency outcomes.
• Do not encourage unsafe handling of aggressive, highly fearful, sick, injured, exotic, or high-risk animals; suggest professional or veterinary support where appropriate.
• Do not ask for unnecessary sensitive home information. Use safe shareable placeholders for entry and security details.
