Handover notes
What the sitter needs to know
Need to text free online before the flight boards? These handover notes cover it.
Spare supplies
Extra pet food is in the garage cabinet, and lightbulbs are in the hall closet.
Where the backups live
Spare keys, batteries and cleaning gear, each with its own spot.
Last-minute additions
You remembered at the airport that the plant food is under the sink. One text fixes it.
Free versus instant
How fast do you need it there?
Free sends join a queue and usually take about 10 minutes. For a handover note sent a day ahead, that’s plenty.
Paying $2 sends the text instantly, handy when the sitter is already at the door and you’re at the gate.
Write it well
Making the note easy to follow
- Sort items by room: kitchen first, then garage, then hall.
- Say exactly where things are: top shelf, left door, blue bin.
- Check the preview and character counter so the whole list reads cleanly.
- Pick a sender name from the list that the sitter will recognize.
Worth asking
Handover questions
Is there a daily limit on free texts?+
There is a free daily limit, so pack your whole list into one message rather than sending several.
Will the sitter know it’s from me?+
Your number stays hidden; the text comes from a number we manage under a sender name. Sign with your first name.
What if the sitter can’t find the spare keys and wants to reply?+
This service only sends, and replies are not forwarded. Put another way to reach you in the note itself.
Hand over the house, not the stress
List the supplies, check the preview, and send before you leave for the airport.
