Pet feeding schedule template

Overfeeding while you are away is more common than underfeeding. Every visitor assumes nobody else has fed the pet. A feeding schedule with a tick grid fixes that in one glance.

Fill in your pet's food and amounts below, then print the schedule and stick it near the food.

Tips for filling it in

  • Write amounts in cups or grams and leave the measuring cup in the food tub.
  • Note what counts as a normal appetite so a sitter knows when to worry.
  • Use our feeding calculator if you are unsure how much your pet needs, then confirm with your vet.

Questions

How do I make a feeding schedule for my pet sitter?

Write the food, where it is kept, the exact amount per meal, the meal times, treats allowed and foods to avoid, then add a tick grid so each meal is marked off.

How much should I feed my dog or cat?

Start from the guidance on the food packet and your vet's advice. Our free feeding calculator gives a starting estimate from weight and life stage.

Can feeding times trigger reminders?

Yes. In Pet Care Card you can set feeding reminders for yourself or your caregiver alongside the full care card.
