Use Arrangement A and role labels. Keep actual household details and confirmations in your private records.

House-sitting owner-arranged service and return-handover workbook
An owner may arrange a household service separately from hiring a house sitter. This helpful preparation resource from PickYourPro.ai makes the boundary visible: what the owner arranged, what the sitter was asked to do, what the sitter accepted and what remains to hand over at the owner's return. It is not a house-access or care plan.

Preparation only. Not postal instructions, permission to open or forward mail, account access, entry authorization, security procedures, pet or medical care, repair or emergency advice. Do not include actual travel dates, addresses, contacts, keys, codes or tracking numbers. Handover acknowledgment does not guarantee occupancy, security or service completion.

How to use this resource
Use Arrangement A and Arrangement B rather than addresses, names or travel dates. For example, an owner may have a private postal-service confirmation; that reference does not itself assign a task to the sitter. Record the arranging role and ask what, if anything, the sitter is being asked to do in connection with the arrangement. Mark that proposed task accepted, excluded or still unclear using the sitter's actual response, not an assumption. Keep the agreed task reference separate from the owner's service confirmation. If an update differs from what was expected, record a question for the agreed role rather than changing a service or admitting a visitor. At return, connect each arrangement to the last update, outstanding item and receiving role. Record acknowledgment of the handover without treating it as proof that every service was completed. Repeat a card for additional arrangements.

QUESTIONS TO RESOLVE WITH THE SITTER
One accepted task does not imply acceptance of another. Use relative stages, not travel dates.
CHECK RESPONSIBILITY BOUNDARIES
Tick what was discussed. These notes do not authorize entry, service changes or access to accounts.
PLAN THE OWNER-RETURN HANDOVER
For each arrangement, connect the last update to the receiving role. Receipt is not a completion guarantee.
COMPARE COORDINATION AND HANDOVER
Use A and B in each box. Keep pet care, repairs and third-party services separate from this discussion.

Questions for the house sitter
- How will we separate owner-arranged services from tasks you accept?
- What private references do you need to clarify a proposed coordination task?
- How will accepted, excluded and undecided tasks be recorded?
- Who receives questions when an update differs from the agreed arrangement?
- What return-handover record links each arrangement to its last update and open item?
- Which household coordination tasks and return follow-up are outside your service?
Write down the answers and any exclusions. If two proposals describe different work, clarify the difference before comparing their totals. Leave unanswered points blank until the professional confirms them.
