Two ways to go. One place to plan.

Every good trip starts

The feeder might jam. The sitter might need a backup. Your pet’s routine shouldn’t be left to a sticky note.

  • An emergency card and a backup plan
  • What to watch for when you get home
02 / They’re coming too

A small example of what’s inside

“What if?” meets
“Here’s the backup.”

Explore six planning examples from the guide. Open a situation to see the practical next step.

The automatic feeder jams.

Have the sitter check the bowl and food level, rather than relying on an app or indicator light. Leave labeled manual portions and plan for the trip running long.

A door blocks the litter box.

List the doors that must stay open on the sitter sheet. Use a door stop and ask the sitter to check every room on the first visit.

The sitter misses a visit.

Agree on a message after each visit and a time to follow up. Name a backup person who has a key so there’s a next step if the sitter can’t be reached.

The water fountain stops.

Prepare two water sources in different places. Add a plain bowl alongside a fountain, and have the sitter refill both.

Your pet needs the vet while you’re away.

Call your vet before departure. Ask who can approve treatment, how a deposit would be paid, and what happens if you can’t be reached.

A nervous pet slips toward the door.

Tell your sitter if your pet is a door-dasher. Include that detail in the handoff and check that microchip registration details are current before the trip.

A few things to know.

Before you and your best friend make plans.

What exactly am I buying?

The Pet Trip Kit: Take Them or Leave Them includes access to the web-based Pet Trip Planner, a 13-page illustrated PDF guide, and 11 pages of fill-in templates. It’s a digital product; no physical item is shipped.

Can I use this on my phone?

Yes. The Planner works on your phone or computer and creates a printable plan. The PDFs are supplied in both US Letter and A4 sizes.

Is this personalized for my pet?

The Planner accounts for your pet’s name, breed, age, health, and temperament, with different guidance for dogs and cats. It also flags care setups that may be too thin, such as one visit a day for a dog.

Is this veterinary advice?

No. This is general guidance based on veterinary and pet-expert sources. The creators research rather than test the guidance. Always follow your own vet’s advice for your pet.

What about privacy and usage?

Your Planner answers stay on your device and aren’t sent to the creators. The kit is for personal use; please don’t share the access link, code, or files. Illustrations of Biscuit and Willow are created with AI.
