Prepare for time away

Cat-sitter care sheet

Prepare the instructions, review the sheet with your trusted sitter, then print it or download the text.

If you use an indoor camera, agree with the sitter what it records and who can view the footage. Our local vs cloud recording guide helps you check retention and save useful context. A recording cannot replace a visit or a person able to act.

Cat in a home prepared for time away, with water supplies and care equipment
AI-assisted editorial illustration. Equipment does not replace a person’s care.

A care sheet supports the sitter. It cannot replace one.

Review the instructions together and check the contact details before departure. Cats Protection advises at least twice-daily visits during holidays, with more frequent care for some cats depending on age and health.

This sheet is a Félinscope editorial organiser, not an individually vet-approved protocol. Access checks and visit updates are practical additions.
