Write the update another person can scan
Lead with the visit time and completed care. Then record appetite, water, toilet or litter, activity, behavior, and any medication confirmation using neutral language. Put questions and the next visit at the end so the owner knows whether a reply is needed.
Compare with the supplied normal
Caregivers should report what they observed, not diagnose it. If the owner said a cat normally hides for the first ten minutes, record whether that happened. If something falls outside the agreed pattern, follow the existing contact or emergency plan instead of guessing.
Keep medication wording factual
Record whether the supplied instruction was completed, refused, delayed, or uncertain. Do not invent a replacement dose or missed-dose response. Contact the owner, prescribing clinic, or agreed emergency contact when the written plan does not cover what happened.
Share the smallest useful record
The share button puts the entered information inside the URL fragment. It is not uploaded to XYZ Pets, but anyone with the link can read it. Use Copy Document when a detailed link is too long for a messaging app.

Frequently asked questions
What belongs in a pet sitter daily update?
Include the visit time, completed care, factual observations, medication confirmation when relevant, photos sent, anything needing a reply, and the next planned visit.
Should every update be long?
No. A routine visit can be covered in a few clear lines. Add detail only when something changed, a decision is needed, or the owner asked for a specific observation.
Can I copy the update into a text message?
Yes. Use Copy or open Share and choose Copy Document. The output is designed to paste into a text, email, or booking-platform conversation.
