Sharing Pet Records With Sitters and Family Securely

When someone else cares for your pet, the right information keeps your pet safe. But records can include personal details, so share thoughtfully.

What sitters and family need

Feeding amounts, times and food allergies
Medications, doses and schedule
Vet and emergency clinic contacts
Your contact details and a backup contact
Vaccination proof, if boarding or daycare is involved
Behavior notes, triggers and routines
Microchip number and a recent photo
Where supplies are stored

What to keep private

Share the minimum necessary. Sitters rarely need your insurance policy number, financial details or your full address history.

Ways to share safely

Prepare only the documents the caregiver needs; do not share your Waggle Vault login
Share only specific documents instead of an entire folder
Avoid emailing sensitive files to unknown or shared accounts
If a separate sharing service offers revocable access, remove access afterward; downloaded copies cannot be recalled
Use strong passwords and two-step sign-in on any account that stores records

Waggle Vault stores your pet's documents. Download the files you choose to provide and send them separately using a trusted method. This is not a claim that Vault offers invitations, public links or caregiver permissions.

Write a one-page care sheet

Include daily routine, medications, emergency contacts and the nearest emergency clinic. Find a vet near me before you leave.

Authorize emergency care

Consider a signed note authorizing your sitter to approve vet care up to a set amount, and tell your vet clinic who may act on your behalf.

If your pet seems unwell while you're away

Your sitter can contact a vet right away, and you can help by arranging a chat with a licensed vet on Waggle Vet. For emergencies, go to the nearest emergency clinic.
