We always make a list for our sitter.
1. Our contact numbers
2. Vets, at lest 2 numbers + vet emergency number
3. Food mixes and times.
4. Pictures of all the CREW with names
5. A one line description of each habit

Another point I should make is...when you are sitting for more than one cat, whenever you leave to go out, TAKE A HEAD COUNT!!!
When I was sitting for my Chris's cats (she has 5), I didn't do that. I just came and went, feeding, watering and scooping. Little did I know that one of her cats was closed in a room by accident (by Chris). The 3rd day I went around calling Buster. I could hear him meowing but didn't know where he was. I followed the meow and finally found him. I felt TERRIBLE!!! When I told Chris about it, she told me that he has a tendency to get closed in closets, cabinets, etc. She said she noticed he looked thinner. Sure made me feel like $hit.

That was the only point that I was going to add. We all know the capabilities of cats to disappear and reappear later after you've already lost your mind. So I wrote in bold letters on my list for my catsitter "DO A HEAD COUNT EACH AND EVERY TIME YOU LEAVE THE HOUSE."

Thank you again - I am taking notes.
It seems I will be catsitting again in April - a gorgeous blond orange tabby with one eye. His name is Dali, he is 13 and get medicine for his gums. His most recent vet visit was in Nov. 08. Have just been to visit his mom, Caroline came along, as we will both cat sit.
The family just recently moved to Denmark and haven't got a vet yet, so I'm going to recommend mine. It will be perfect, because one of vets there is French.
