Pet care cards in 3 x 5 and 4 x 6 in for your dog or cat
Hand the sitter one small card and relax, knowing your pet's routine and vet details are all there.

Pet care cards keep everything about your dog or cat in a small card box rather than a full page binder, at exact 3 x 5 in and 4 x 6 in sizes. The 27 undated pages hold eight card designs in both sizes with crop marks, matching lined and dot grid backs, a how to use guide and six tabbed card box dividers. It is an instant PDF download in US Letter and A4.
It brings calm to busy pet homes and makes handing over care feel easy. Nothing physical is shipped.
How pet care cards make daily routines and handovers easier
Write one profile card for each animal with breed, birthday, microchip number, vet and allergies, and file the emergency contacts card behind it with your usual vet, a 24-hour emergency vet and a backup caretaker. Meal times and portions go on the feeding card, a full week of walks and playtime in minutes fits on the walk and exercise card, and the grooming card shows how often each task happens, when it was last done and when it is due.
Going away? The sitter instructions card passes on the daily routine and house rules in one small card, and the medication and vaccine log gathers what your vet provides. Each topic is a separate card, so you rewrite only what changes, and every pet can have its own set in the same box.
Who this pet card system is for
- Dog and cat owners who want vet contacts, the microchip number and feeding notes on a small card, not inside a big binder
- Homes with several pets, each with a full card set in one shared box
- Anyone leaving a pet with a sitter, neighbor or relative who needs a clear routine and emergency cards
- New puppy and kitten owners organizing meals, vaccines and grooming from the first day
- Index card fans who already run a 3 x 5 or 4 x 6 card box for organizing the home
Design and print details
- Clean, minimal look: white pages with soft blush pink accents that are light on ink
- Generous margins on all pages, so a home printer will not clip anything
- Precise trim sizes with crop marks: 3 x 5 in (7.6 x 12.7 cm, three to a sheet) and 4 x 6 in (10.2 x 15.2 cm, two to a sheet), laid out on US Letter (8.5 x 11 in) and A4 (210 x 297 mm) paper
- No dates printed, so you can begin on any day
- When you print double sided and flip on the long edge, the lined and dot grid backs match up with the fronts
- A card format, separate from our full page pet planners, with every topic on its own small card

Questions
Questions about the pet care cards
Do the cards work for both dogs and cats?
Yes. The profile card has a species field, and the set is made for dog and cat owners, including homes with several pets.
Is there a card for my pet sitter?
Yes. The sitter instructions card covers the morning to bedtime routine, food, walks, hiding spots, where supplies are and house rules, and the emergency contacts card lists vets and backup caretakers.
What is different on the 3 x 5 in cards?
They have the same eight designs with slightly fewer rows, for example 3 feeding rows and 5 grooming rows instead of 6 and 8.
Does the set tell me how much to feed or which vaccines to give?
No. It is an organizing tool, not veterinary advice. Food amounts, doses and vaccine schedules come from your vet.
