Field Scenario
A sitter finishes a visit and needs to decide how to handle the client’s house key before their next scheduled visit.
What You Actually Do
- Store the key securely rather than leaving it somewhere easily found or accessible
- Never share the key or access information beyond what’s necessary for this specific assignment
- Ensure doors and windows are properly secured before leaving
- Send a brief visit update to give the owner peace of mind about the home and pet
