Get your pet sitter to keep your chins in exactly the same routine as usual. Is there any need for deviation?

No. Not for six days. Don't let your pet sitter play with your chin outside of the cage. Your pet will be just fine and there will be much less chance of accidental injury, escape, etc. Your pet will be fine.

Regarding sand baths, not out of cage exercise. There is no reason for the chins to miss out on their bathing routine.

Personally i would dust the chins before you leave and wait till you return to dust. The less your pet sitter has to do the less chance of an issue. Ive seen chins die or get loose due to mistakes from a pet sitter. I dust my chins once a week so they will be fine to wait 6 days
