A Pet Profile Organiser for Everything About Your Animals

The test of a pet organisation system is simple: could someone else look after your animal for a weekend using only what you've written down? Most owners discover the answer is no, and they discover it while standing in a doorway explaining nine things at once with a taxi waiting.

The free Pet Profiles Hub is built to be that written-down version: records, vaccination notes, owner details, breed information, a gallery and dashboard stats in one place.

What a sitter genuinely needs

  • Feeding: what, how much, when, and what they absolutely must not be given.
  • Medication: dose, timing, and how you actually get the animal to take it.
  • Routine: walk times, sleeping arrangements, the small rituals that keep them calm.
  • Behaviour: what frightens them, what they do when anxious, who they don't get on with.
  • Emergency: vet name, address, out-of-hours number, and your consent to treat.

The details you'd never think to say

Every pet has a handful of quirks so familiar to the owner that they've become invisible. The dog who won't go through a doorway if the hallway light is off. The cat who hides for the first two hours and then appears. These are exactly the things a sitter panics about, and exactly the things nobody remembers to mention.

Write down the thing so obvious you'd never say it out loud. That's the one the sitter will call you about.

Identification, ready in advance

If a pet goes missing you'll need a clear recent photo, the microchip number, distinguishing markings and the registered contact details, and you'll need them immediately, in a state where you're not thinking clearly. Assembling that on a calm afternoon and keeping it in one place is fifteen minutes well spent.

One profile per animal

With multiple pets, one combined page becomes unusable fast, because instructions differ per animal and a sitter reading a merged document will mix them up. Separate profiles, each complete on its own, and a shared household overview above them. The hub is structured this way for a reason.

A Notion page shared as a read-only link works on any phone without an account, which makes it far more practical than a document you email. The sitter has it in their pocket, and any update you make is live rather than a second version of a file.

For medical records and vaccination due dates specifically, the free Pet Health tracker goes deeper. Duplicate the Pet Profiles Hub and write the feeding instructions before you next need them.
