Cover feeding, water, and litter first
A care log for a Devon Rex in a sitter's charge starts with the daily essentials, written as you actually do them. List each meal with its usual time and the amount you normally serve, the name of the food, and any treats she is allowed. Add a line for fresh water top-ups and one for litter checks, noting how often you normally scoop and what a normal tray looks like in your house. A sitter who records each task as it is done leaves you a clear trail, and a missed meal or an untouched tray stands out in the log immediately rather than being remembered days later.
Record warmth and resting places for a Devon Rex
A Devon Rex feels the cold more than a thick-coated cat, so the log needs a warmth section most care sheets forget. Note where her heated pad, blankets, or favourite warm sleeping spot are, and ask the sitter to record each day that the warm resting place was available and used. Add a line for room temperature concerns during cold weather, and a note that burrowing under blankets is normal behaviour for her rather than a sign she is hiding. That detail protects her comfort and stops a sitter from worrying, or worse, from removing the blankets she depends on.
Log company, play, and behaviour notes
Devon Rex cats are sociable and people-focused, so a sitter's log should capture more than tasks. Ask for a short daily note on play sessions, lap time, and general mood, including whether she ate with her usual enthusiasm and greeted the sitter as she normally does. Note her skin and coat in passing too: a line recording any scratching, sneezing, or change in how her wavy coat feels gives you useful information without asking the sitter to judge what it means. A behaviour change recorded with a date and time is far more valuable than a general impression offered at the end of the trip.
Set out contacts and call thresholds clearly
The log should end with the practical safety net. Write your phone number, the name and number of her veterinary clinic, and the details of a local emergency contact who can reach the house quickly. State plainly what should prompt a call to you straight away, such as a missed meal combined with hiding, repeated vomiting, difficulty breathing, or any injury, and what can simply be written in the log for you to read on return. A sitter who knows the thresholds in advance acts quickly when it matters and does not hesitate over small things that only need recording.
Review the log together when you return
When you are home, read the completed log with the sitter rather than filing it unread. Note which entries raised questions, and add anything useful to her standing care notes, such as a new favourite warm spot or a feeding time that clearly suits her better. A reviewed log improves the next sitting, because the instructions grow from what actually happened rather than from your best guess. KinsLe keeps that loop tidy, because a Devon Rex's Care Teams in KinsLe lets you assign each sitter duty and see it marked complete with a timestamp while you are away.
