Home & Whisker Essential Kit
A guided pet and home handoff kit for the days you’re away.
The Home & Whisker Essential Kit helps you turn sitter notes, pet routines, home details, contacts, and emergency information into one organized handoff system — with prompts that help you think through the details before you leave.
Designed for pet owners who want something more thoughtful than a generic sitter worksheet, the Essential Kit supports both parts of the handoff: the early conversation before someone says yes, and the full reference your sitter can use once plans are set.
How it works
1. Sitter Preview
Use the Sitter Preview before help is confirmed.
This screen-friendly sharing tool helps a potential sitter understand the care involved before committing, including the general care level, visit type, and key expectations.
It is designed to help you explain the responsibility clearly without sharing the full handoff details too early. It is especially helpful if you are still getting to know each other.
2. Essential Packet
Use the Essential Packet once plans are confirmed.
This complete packet brings together the details your sitter may need while you’re away, including pet routines, home access, contacts, and emergency information, in a format that’s easy to scan.
Share it digitally, or print a copy to leave at home for your sitter.
