Pet sitting booking and client management
This template is free and stays free — keep using it for as long as it does the job. It stops doing the job once booking calendars, client communication, and multi-day stays need a real management system.

Pet sitting invoice essentials: stays, visits, and holiday rates
Pet sitting billing is clearer when the care schedule is itemized. This template separates overnight stays, drop-in visits, walks, and medication, so owners can verify the care days before they pay.
On pricing, overnight stays run $50–$85 per night, drop-ins $18–$30 per 30 minutes, and daily packages $70–$120. Holiday surcharges ($10–$25 per night), multiple-pet surcharges, and medication ($5–$10 per administration) are standard add-on lines.
Set terms that protect holiday bookings: collect a deposit or require payment in full for holiday periods, with the balance due before the stay. Use the Terms dropdown to set Due on receipt, Net 7, Net 14, or Net 30.
Pet Sitting invoice questions
What should a pet sitting invoice include?
Your business name, the owner and pet names, the care dates, a unique invoice number, itemized stays, visits, walks, medication, the total due, and payment terms.
How do pet sitters charge?
Most charge per overnight stay ($50–$85), per drop-in visit ($18–$30), or per day for full care ($70–$120). Dog walks and medication administration are separate lines.
Should I collect a deposit for bookings?
Many sitters collect a 50% deposit or a non-refundable booking fee for holiday periods. State the cancellation policy in the Notes so owners know the terms.
How do I bill for multiple pets?
Add a second-pet surcharge as its own line (often 20–30% of the base rate). State the per-pet policy on the invoice.
Do I charge sales tax on pet sitting?
Tax rules vary by state; many exempt pet care, some tax it. Confirm with your state. Not tax advice.
Is this pet sitting invoice template really free?
Yes. No account, no signup, no export limit. Everything runs in your browser and the details you type are never transmitted anywhere — you can even use it offline.
