The energy warning comes first
Begin a German Shorthaired Pointer sitter's notes without softening it: this is one of the most athletic, driven breeds in the house-dog world, and his exercise needs are the difference between a pleasant stay and a wrecked one. Write the real daily amount, including proper running in a secure area or on a long line, not just lead walks around the block. A Pointer who gets a gentle twenty minutes will spend the evening hunting through cupboards, counter-surfing, and bouncing off the furniture. Note what tires him best in your experience, whether that is retrieving, swimming where he is allowed, or training games, so the sitter can repeat what works instead of improvising.
Recall, prey drive, and the great outdoors
Explain his recall honestly: reliable in the garden and in low-distraction fields is not the same as reliable once he has locked onto a bird, a deer scent, or a squirrel. Tell the sitter exactly where he is allowed off lead, where the long line stays on, and which places are lead-only because of livestock, roads, or cliffs disguised by enthusiasm. Give the whistle or word you use and what to do if he does go: stay put, keep calling at intervals, and phone you, rather than chasing a dog who can run for hours. Check harness and collar fit before every outing, since a Pointer in pursuit puts real force through his equipment.
Mental work for wet days and evenings
List the indoor jobs that occupy him when weather cuts a run short: hiding treats or toys around a room, scatter feeding in the grass, short training sessions of cues he knows, and any puzzle toys he has. A German Shorthaired Pointer with a worked brain settles in the evening; one with only a physical run and nothing to think about often does not. Note his crate or rest routine if he has one, including the cue and the blanket that goes in, because enforced rest is part of how this breed learns to switch off, and a sitter who skips it may meet a dog who cannot stop at all by day three.
Feeding, security, and health notes
Give meal times and amounts, and warn that an active Pointer eats with commitment and will also steal, so food, bins, and counters stay secured and doors to store cupboards stay shut. Extend the security theme to the house itself: this breed opens doors, tests gates, and treats a delivery caller's gap as an invitation, so latches are checked every time. Leave vet details, your number, and a backup contact, and flag the signs worth a prompt call: limping that does not ease after rest, cuts to paws or ears from rough ground, exhaustion or wobbliness after hard exercise in warm weather, or appetite loss in a dog who normally eats everything. Note his usual post-run recovery so normal tiredness is not mistaken for trouble.
Character and daily rhythm
Finish with his personality, because a Pointer is affectionate, clownish, and often glued to his people, and a sitter warned about the shadowing, the leaning, and the need to be in the same room will enjoy him rather than feel stalked. Set out the day's rhythm: first garden break, meals, main exercise, evening wind-down, and where he sleeps. Setting all of this out in KinsLe's Care Pass means the person caring for your German Shorthaired Pointer can check his exercise plan, recall rules, and vet contacts in one organised handover whenever they need to.
