I agree with bogertophis here. Checking temps are as expected and water is clean/present is really all that is necessary, unless you use a glass tank or other enclosure that needs regular misting for humidity and then add that as well.
We just set up instructions inside the door for where the different animals were in the house & a small index card checklist at each enclosure/tank for what parameters to check or things to do.
Not needed here, but for anyone it applies to, it is really convenient for a sitter if you measure out fish food into a weekly pill container. One day is food for that day, just pop the lid and dump into the tank. Helps avoid overfeeding for anyone not used to feeding fish and makes it quicker if you usually feed floating and sinking pellets for different types of fish in one tank.
My SIL was my pet sitter last time I needed one and she had a lot of boxes to check at our house (several snakes, a leopard gecko, axolotls, 3 fish tanks to feed, and gerbils to feed and water). She loved it since she got to handle the snakes some and sent some really cute pictures while we were gone.
