For a calmer departure
Give a helpful sitter more than a handful of texts.
Leaving home should not mean trying to remember every useful detail while bags are by the door. A sitter may need to know how to enter, where the spare key is, what the thermostat should do, which lights you want on, when the trash goes out, and who to call if something stops working.
Those details are simple when you live with them every day. They are much harder for someone else to piece together from a text thread, a note on the counter, and a quick conversation at the door. A house sitter information sheet brings the practical answers into one place before you leave.
QASHTU's House Sitter Information Sheet is made for the person you trust with your home, whether that is a professional sitter, a neighbor, a friend, or family. It gives them a clear reference without asking you to write a new guide from scratch for every trip.
The details that make a difference
A home guide your sitter can actually use.
Four focused pages keep the most useful household information together, in a format that is easy to update and easy to share.
Access and security
Leave clear notes for entry, doors, keys, alarm settings, garage or gate access, Wi-Fi, cameras, and any home-specific security routines.
Daily home routines
Cover mail, packages, trash, recycling, lights, blinds, thermostat settings, plants, sprinklers, pool care, and the small routines that keep home running.
Utilities and useful help
Keep shutoff locations, safety equipment, utility information, emergency contacts, and the people you would call for plumbing, electrical, heating, cooling, or security.
Made for repeat trips
Prepare once, then make each departure easier.
The fillable PDF gives you a simple master copy to save and update before each trip. Add current dates, a backup contact, any changed access details, and the instructions that are specific to this visit. Print a clean copy when your sitter prefers paper, or keep both versions so the information is available in the way that makes sense for your home.
A good handoff does not need to be long. It needs to answer the questions a sitter is most likely to have before they have to ask them. Where should packages go? Does the alarm need to be set? Which room is off limits? Who should be called if a pipe leaks? The sheet gives those answers a dependable home.
Because it is a reusable system, you can start with the essentials now and add useful notes over time. After each trip, take a minute to note the question your sitter asked or the detail you had to send. Your next version will be more complete without becoming a complicated project.
Ready for the real handoff
Useful for every kind of time away.
A weekend away
Leave a short, clear plan for mail, trash, lights, plants, entry, and the best way to reach you. Your sitter can settle in without needing a string of follow-up messages.
A longer trip
Give more context for outdoor care, packages, home routines, service contacts, and any equipment that may need attention while you are gone. A written reference is easier to revisit than a memory.
A trusted neighbor
Even a quick check-in is easier when someone knows where to find the essentials. Share only the details they need, such as entry instructions, your backup contact, and what to do if they notice a problem.
A useful way to begin
What to put on a house sitter information sheet.
Start with the information that makes arrival simple. Include the dates you will be away, your home address, the best number or email to use, and a backup contact who can make a decision locally if you are unavailable. Add the name and number of a trusted neighbor when that person is comfortable being included.
Next, cover access. Explain how the sitter should enter, where keys are kept, what needs to be locked, and how to handle a garage, gate, alarm, security camera, or Wi-Fi network. Avoid writing down more sensitive information than the sitter genuinely needs, and give the completed sheet only to people you trust.
Write down the ordinary routines that would be difficult to guess. That may include mail and packages, trash and recycling days, lights and blinds, thermostat settings, watering, sprinkler timing, pool or hot-tub care, laundry, parking, or a room that should stay closed. Plain, specific notes are more useful than trying to describe every part of the home.
Make the emergency section practical. Note where to find the main water shutoff, electrical panel, fire extinguisher, and first-aid kit. Keep utility account information and the numbers for a plumber, electrician, heating and cooling company, locksmith, security provider, or property manager when those are relevant. In an immediate emergency, the sitter should call local emergency services first.
Finally, add a brief before-you-leave check. Confirm that the sitter has the right key or entry instructions, current dates, a working contact number, and anything that has changed since the last visit. A quick review turns the sheet from a nice idea into a resource they can rely on.
Think about the first hour after your sitter arrives. A short note about parking, the thermostat, a guest room, garbage bins, a sensitive appliance, or a pet-free room can prevent an avoidable interruption later. Explain where important supplies live and which instructions matter most. The goal is not to document every preference. It is to make the home feel understandable without putting the sitter in the position of guessing.
When you return, keep the sheet with the other home records you already use. Update it while the trip is still fresh, especially if a contact changed, a routine was unclear, or a provider gave new instructions. Over time, the guide becomes a small, useful record of how your home works when you are not there.
For a broader record of the maintenance, contacts, and household details that belong to your home year-round, explore the QASHTU Home Management System. For a compact household reference with medical, utility, and safety information, the QASHTU Emergency Contact Sheet is a natural companion.
