When several people care for the same pets, a little setup makes sure everyone knows what's done and what's next.
Give everyone the right role
Partners usually suit Co-owner, kids who help out suit Teen, and a dog walker or neighbor suits Pet sitter with an end date. Compare the roles.
Split routines by who gives them
Make separate routines for separate jobs, like "Morning meds" and "Evening meds", and send each one's reminder to the person on duty under Reminders › Who gets it.
Check Care before giving anything
Care refreshes every minute, so a dose someone just logged shows on your phone too. Log routine doses from their row on Care, so nobody logs the same dose twice. What to do if a dose was logged twice.
Use skip reasons
A skip reason like Refused it or Vomited tells the next person what happened, and shows in reports for your vet.
Write instructions where people log
- Add instructions like "Give with food" to the medication, and they show on each dose. Here's how.
- Put "how to measure" notes in a tracker's description. They show when someone logs it.
Decide who orders refills
The owner can send low stock alerts to just that person, as a shared to-do, so one check-off clears it for everyone. Choose who gets household alerts.
Look back together
The Week view on Care shows the household's week at a glance, including anything not logged.
