  Before You Leave Home
   
 
Getting ready to leave on a trip can be stressful! Since it is so easy to forget something your pets may need while you’re out, we have assembled the following checklist to help you as you prepare to leave your pets in our care.
INFORMATION FOR WHILE YOU WERE OUT PET CARE
  Do we have the correct keys and alarm codes?
  Are the garbage/recycling bins ready for us to take out, if needed?
  Do we have the correct contact information for your trip?
  Do we have a current list of anyone who has access to your home?
THINGS TO DO
  Make sure all windows and doors are locked.
  Tell your security company that While You Were Out Pet Care will be entering your house while you are away. Make sure we know how to properly use your alarm system (including what to do in case of a false alarm).
  If you live in a secured or gated area, please notify security that While You Were Out Pet Care will be entering your house while you are away.
  Make sure your thermostat is set to ensure that your pets will be safe and comfortable, even if the weather changes while you are away.
  Put away anything your pets might chew up, eat, or destroy. It is not uncommon for pets to get into things they usually leave alone when their people are away, so look around with a critical eye!
  If there are areas of your house you want to keep your pets out of, please close those doors securely. We would greatly appreciate it if you would put a note on those doors so that we can make sure to keep your pets out of those areas.
  Count heads before you leave. You’d be surprised how often a pet gets closed in a closet during the packing-and-leaving chaos!
MAKE SURE WE KNOW THE LOCATIONS OF THE FOLLOWING:
Please consider leaving extra supplies…just in case!
  Leash/collar/harness   Food & water dishes
  Poop bags   Food
  Treats   Medications
  Cat litter/scooper   Can opener
  Toys   Forks/utensils
  Towels for wet pets/muddy feet   Carriers/crates
  Brushes   Cleaning supplies
  Watering can for plants   Paper towels

Thank you very much! Your preparation allows us to provide the best possible care for your pets, and we greatly appreciate your efforts.

Your pets are in good hands...we hope that you have an enjoyable and carefree trip.
