    With holiday bookings coming up, what would you make sure a dog sitter knows before the first stay?

    A practical handover could cover the usual feeding and toilet routine, the cues your dog understands, how they react to other dogs, any escape habits, and the vet and backup contact arrangements. Written instructions are useful, but a short walk-through with the sitter might catch things a form misses.

    I help put together information for Beaches Pet Guide, and would like the checklist to reflect what owners actually find useful rather than just a long form. What small detail has made a handover easier for your dog or sitter? Please keep names, phone numbers and other private details out of replies.
