Share an accurate pet profile
Disclose age, size, temperament, medical needs, diet, medication and reactions to other animals or unfamiliar people. Ask what may make a pet unsuitable for the facility or home arrangement.
Understand daily supervision
Ask about overnight presence, exercise, rest, separation, cleaning and update frequency. Confirm how many animals may be present and how incompatible animals are managed.
Prepare for an emergency
Provide your veterinarian and emergency contact and agree on the spending or consent process if you cannot be reached. Confirm what records and vaccination evidence the provider requires.
Describe the stay and daily routine
State the proposed dates, pet type, routine and practical care needs. Ask the provider what it can accept, which information it needs and which conditions remain subject to confirmation. Discuss feeding, exercise, supervision and communication arrangements without assuming every routine can be accommodated. Any health or eligibility question should be addressed through the appropriate qualified source, not inferred from a directory listing.
Agree collection and escalation arrangements
Request the full written charge, included care, optional extras, cancellation terms and collection arrangements. Ask how incidents or changes are communicated, who can authorise an additional service and what records are provided at handover. Keep emergency contacts and private care instructions out of public links. A listing or enquiry does not establish a confirmed place or guarantee a care outcome.
Write a routine the caregiver can repeat back
State feeding quantities and times, usual handling preferences and any instructions already provided by your pet’s own professional. Ask the boarding provider to repeat the practical plan back to you and identify instructions it cannot support. Do not turn a platform enquiry into a medical record; share only the information necessary for care through an appropriate direct channel after checking the recipient.
Name a substitute contact and approval limits
If you may be unreachable, agree who can be contacted next and what decisions that person may make. Ask how the provider would report an unexpected situation, who coordinates transport if needed and how proposed costs are approved. Record these arrangements without assuming that a listed service includes every transport or emergency expense. This is planning guidance, not veterinary advice.
