ChatGPT: drafts the pet-care sheet

You supply the facts. ChatGPT drafts; you check and decide.

  1. You

    Have ready: current pet-care instructions

  2. ChatGPT

    Draft the result

  3. You

    Check and decide

  1. Have ready: current pet-care instructions

    Use: You

    Current owner-approved feeding/veterinary instructions, contact details, care dates and access notes without door codes; keep source labels and unresolved instructions.

  2. Draft the care sheet and read-back questions

    Use: ChatGPT

    Attach selected TXT instructions; extract quantities/units/times/exceptions exactly, distinguish owner/vet directions, and draft daily checklist, observation log, emergency contacts and sitter read-back questions.

    Details

    What to paste into the tool

    Task: Care table packet with routine and exception rows, owner/vet source excerpts and unresolved instructions. Extract quantities, units, times and exceptions exactly; distinguish owner instructions from veterinary directions. Mark missing or conflicting medicine instructions as unresolved. Use only the supplied packet for factual entries; preserve source labels, dates, units and uncertainty. Include the prior packet contents needed for review in the named output. Leave unsupported fields unresolved. Return only the named output packet. Task: Care-sheet draft packet with daily checklist, observation log, escalation contact labels, retained care table and source excerpts, retained unresolved instructions. Draft a daily checklist, an observation log and escalation contact labels from the supplied instructions. Carry the care table and its source excerpts into this packet. Add no veterinary advice or changes. Task: Read-back review packet with sitter questions, separate access-arrangement reminder, retained care-sheet draft and source excerpts, retained unresolved instructions. Draft sitter read-back questions about the routine and exceptions. Include an access-arrangement reminder without access secrets. Retain the care sheet, table and source excerpts. Task: Assembled pet-sitter care sheet and emergency contact checklist. Assemble the final sheet and checklist from the retained packets. Use contact labels only, never real contact details or access secrets. Keep every unresolved instruction visible in the final output. Use only the supplied packets for factual entries; preserve source labels, dates, units and uncertainty. Return only the named output packet.

  3. Check all instructions and unresolved items

    Use: You

    Compare every quantity, unit, timing, medicine line, checklist, log and emergency entry against current owner/vet sources; retain unresolved items and use read-back separately.

    Check

    Do not resolve missing or conflicting source facts by inference. Use the sitter read-back checklist separately; arrange access outside this draft workflow. Access secrets stay outside the sheet.

Before you paste into any AI tool, remove any confidential information. Put it back at the end.
