How do I make a dog walking invoice?

Tell Clodou the household, the walks and your price, such as 5 walks at $25 for the Nguyen family. It finds or adds the client and writes the invoice with your logo, your business details, an invoice number in your sequence, a line for the walks and one for each extra, and your payment terms in the note. There is no dog walking invoice template to fill in, and if a price is missing, Clodou asks instead of guessing.

What should a pet sitting invoice include?

Your business details and logo, the client, the dates of the sit, the number of nights or visits with your rate, each extra on its own line (a second pet, a holiday rate, medication), the total and the due date. Clodou prints each of these, and the note can carry your deposit and cancellation terms.

Can I charge a holiday rate or a second-pet fee?

Yes, each as its own line at the price you set, such as holiday rate, 2 nights at $20, or second dog, 3 walks at $10. Clodou never adds a surcharge by itself, so every fee on the invoice is one you asked for.

Does Clodou book walks or send updates to owners?

No. Clodou has no booking calendar, client app, GPS walk tracking, photo updates or pet profiles, and it does not take card payments. It handles the business side: clients, quotes, invoices, payments, expenses and notes. On Solo and Team, your own payment link prints on invoices, and a repeating weekly task can remind you to invoice every Friday.

Can I invoice monthly instead of every week?

Yes. Give the number of walks in the month as the quantity, or one line per week if the client prefers. If a household has the same walks every week at an agreed monthly price, set it up as a retainer: Clodou prepares one draft invoice a month for you to check, and you pause the retainer while the family is away.

Free covers up to 5 clients and 20 AI actions a month, with no separate cap on quotes and invoices (making them in the chat uses AI actions). Solo, with your payment link on invoices, is $29 a month per workspace. Team, with 5 seats and automatic reminders, is $79 a month. Prices are in USD, and the first 14 days are a free Team trial.

Who it's for / Dog walkers & pet sitters

Dog walking and pet sitting invoices, without the weekly tally

Dog walkers and pet sitters charge by the walk, the drop-in visit or the night, with extras for a second dog, a holiday or medication. Regular walking clients are often invoiced every week or once a month for the walks done, and a holiday house sit is often booked months ahead with a deposit. Tell Clodou what you did and at what price: it writes the invoice, keeps each household's notes and tracks who has paid.

How Clodou helps

A week of walks on one invoice

"Invoice the Nguyens for this week: 5 walks at $25 and a second dog at $10 a walk" creates the invoice with two lines: $175 before tax. Clodou does not read your calendar or track walks, so give it the number of walks; for one line per walk, give the dates.

Holiday sits with a deposit

Quote a sit per night, with the holiday rate and any extras on their own lines and your deposit terms in the note. When the client books, turn the quote into the invoice and record the deposit as a partial payment; Clodou keeps the balance.

One client per household, with notes

Add the household once as the client, with each owner as a contact. Log notes on it, such as the pets' names and feeding times, and ask "what are my notes on the Harts?" before a visit.

How dog walkers & pet sitters bill, and how Clodou handles it

Per walk, per visit or per night

Walks are often priced per walk by length, such as $25 for 30 minutes, drop-in visits per visit, and overnight sitting per night. Clodou takes any quantity and unit price: 5 walks at $25 is one line of $125, and 7 nights at $75 is one line of $525. Regular walking clients are often invoiced every week or once a month for the walks done, with the number of walks as the quantity.

Extras, holidays and short notice

Many pet sitters charge extra for a second pet, for holidays, for a booking at short notice or for giving medication. Give Clodou each extra as its own line with the price you charge, such as holiday rate, 2 nights at $20, so the client sees what they pay for. Clodou never adds a fee or a surcharge by itself.

Deposits for long sits, and regular monthly plans

For a holiday sit booked in advance, write your deposit terms in the quote's note, turn the quote into one invoice when the client books and record the deposit as a partial payment; Clodou keeps the balance until the last payment. A household with the same walks every week can pay a fixed monthly amount: set it up as a retainer, and Clodou prepares one draft invoice a month for you to check.

A holiday house sit and a week of walks

Step 1
Quote Olivia Hart a house sit from December 20 to 27: 7 nights at $75, the holiday rate on December 24 and 25 at $20 a night, and Pepper's medication at $5 a day for 7 days. Note: 30% deposit to book, balance due December 27.
Adds Olivia Hart as a client and creates quote DEV-0009 with three lines: house sitting, December 20 to 27, 7 nights at $75, $525; holiday rate, December 24 and 25, 2 nights at $20, $40; medication, 7 days at $5, $35. No tax is set on this workspace, so the total is $600, and the deposit terms print in the note.
Step 2
Olivia booked and paid the $180 deposit. Turn DEV-0009 into an invoice due December 27; I sent it to her.
Creates invoice INV-0084 for $600 with the same lines and note, plus a reference to DEV-0009, and sets the due date to December 27. It marks INV-0084 as sent and shows an approval card to record $180 received. Once you approve it, $420 is still owed.
Step 3
Invoice the Nguyen family for this week: 5 walks for Biscuit at $25, and Maple came along on 3 of them at $10 a walk.
Finds the Nguyen family and creates draft invoice INV-0085 with two lines: dog walks, Biscuit, 5 at $25, $125.00; second dog, Maple, 3 walks at $10, $30.00. Total: $155.00.
Step 4
I sent INV-0085. The Nguyens paid the $155, and Olivia paid her $420 balance early.
Marks INV-0085 as sent and shows two approval cards: $155.00 on INV-0085 and $420.00 on INV-0084. Once you approve them, both invoices are marked paid and nothing is owed.
