Dear [Friend’s Name],

I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to express my gratitude for agreeing to look after my house and pet while I am on holiday. I trust you will take good care of everything in my absence.

While I am away, you can reach me on my mobile phone at +123-456-7890 or via email at myemail@example.com in case of any emergencies. Please remember to water the plants every other day and ensure that the trash is taken out every Tuesday.

For the care of my beloved pet, please feed him twice a day, in the morning and evening, as per the instructions I have left on the kitchen counter. Also, make sure he gets his daily walks and plenty of love and attention, as he is used to.

If you need any additional supplies or have any questions, feel free to contact me. Thank you once again for your help. I truly appreciate it. I look forward to catching up with you when I return. Have a wonderful time looking after my home and pet.

Best regards,

[Your Name]
