Need Advice: Info for Tortoise Babysitter

[Eggtort]

Hi everyone,

I'm going out of town for two weeks starting the 20th. I have hired a babysitter for my Russian tort. I plan on leaving spares of everything- bedding, lighting, etc. and providing a pre-paid visa for groceries. I have typed up a 'care guide' including feeding schedules, soaking schedules, vet contact information, etc. However, I am wondering if there is anything else that I should make sure to include? This person has lots of experience with pets, and some reptiles, but this is their first time taking care of a tort.

Have them set up an account so that they can ask questions here if needed.

She will be living at the house for 80% of the time.

Make sure you give them your phone number . Check on your tortoise daily . Have the person tell you what they did daily . My mother takes care of my tortoises when the wife and I are out of town . She is more ocd then myself . But I call every day . Because with reptiles things can go south quickly .
