The pet sitter instructions card: everything on one link

A Voocie sitter card is a single shareable link that gives your pet sitter, dog walker, or house sitter exactly the information they need — feeding instructions, medications, allergies, behavioral quirks, emergency contacts, and your vet's number — without asking them to download an app or create an account. You share a link. They open it. Done.

Because the sitter card is generated from your pet's Voocie health record, it stays current automatically. When your vet updates a medication, the card reflects it. You don't maintain a separate document for every trip.

What goes on a sitter card?

The sitter card surfaces the information a pet care professional actually needs during a sit, not the full clinical history. It includes:

• Feeding schedule: what to feed, how much, how often, and any special prep (mixing wet + dry, warming food, adding supplements).
• Medications: name, dosage, frequency, and administration method (pill in a treat, liquid syringe, topical). Your sitter sees what's current — discontinued meds don't clutter the card.
• Allergies: food allergies, environmental sensitivities, and known reactions. A sitter who knows your dog reacts to chicken won't offer a chicken-based treat.
• Behavioral notes and quirks: "anxious during thunderstorms," "pulls on leash near other dogs," "needs 10 minutes to warm up to strangers." The details that keep a sit from going sideways.
• Emergency contacts: your phone, your backup person's phone, your vet's number, and the nearest emergency vet clinic.
• Vaccination status: current rabies certificate, core vaccines, and any boarding-relevant vaccines like bordetella — the documents a daycare or boarding facility asks for.

Why do pet sitters need a better instructions format?

Most pet owners hand their sitter a wall of text messages, a sticky note on the fridge, or a three-page Word document emailed the night before departure. The sitter scrolls through it once, forgets half of it, and texts the owner at midnight asking, "Wait, is the evening dose one pill or two?"

A structured card in a consistent format fixes this. The sitter bookmarks one link. Everything is organized by category. If a medication changes between sits, the card reflects it — the sitter doesn't need to compare an old document against a new one.

For professional sitters and dog walkers managing multiple clients, this is even more valuable. Every client's pet has the same card format. No hunting through different message threads for different pets' details.

How does the Voocie sitter card work for sitters?

If you're a pet sitter, dog walker, groomer, or boarder, the card works the same way for every client who uses Voocie:

1. The pet owner shares a link with you — via text, email, or any messaging app.
2. You open the link in your phone's browser. No app download, no signup.
3. You see that pet's care card: feeding, meds, allergies, quirks, contacts, and vet info.
4. Bookmark it. The next time you sit for that pet, the card is already updated.

You can also suggest Voocie to your clients who don't use it yet. Starting a record is free. When they set it up, you get a card for every pet they have — consistent format, always current.

How do I create a sitter card for my pet?

If you already have a Voocie record for your pet, the sitter card is built from what's already there. Add or update the feeding instructions, medications, allergies, and behavioral notes in your pet's profile, then generate a share link with the "sitter card" scope. Share that link with your sitter before your next trip.

If you don't have a Voocie record yet, start one free. Give your pet's private Voocie address to your vet so records file automatically, then fill in the care details your sitter needs. Voocie is $99/year (about $10/month), and the sitter card is included.
