SMALL SOFTWARE · A REAL PRODUCT, ON SALE NOW

A little app that fits in one file.

The Pet & House Sitter Handover Kit comes with a browser form I built so people could type their notes instead of handwriting twelve pages. It opens from a single file, works offline and keeps everything on the owner's own computer.

Works offlineNo account, no installUp to 6 petsData stays on the device
The browser form open on a laptop, showing the Quick Reference page with owner, vet and pet details
The real form, filled with made-up example details.

The problem

Going away means leaving a sitter the vet's number, the feeding routine, the medication times, the bin night and where the spare key lives. Printable templates are lovely until you're filling in the same phone number on page one, page four and page eleven.

Most people would rather type. Nobody wants to sign up for yet another app to do it.

What it does

01

Fill it in once

Shared details, like owner contacts and each pet's name, carry across the form's linked pages.

02

Keep it

"Save my kit" downloads a small file the owner keeps. "Load saved kit" picks up where they left off next trip.

03

Print what you need

Print the full kit, just the Quick Reference, or the pet emergency cards, or save them as a PDF.

Three panels: typing a pet's details, the Quick Reference filling in, and a pet emergency card showing the same details
Type a pet's details once; the Quick Reference and emergency card pick them up.

How it's built

Small on purpose. One HTML file with its styles and logic inside, so there's nothing to install and nothing to break when a service shuts down.
