When to use it

For dog walkers, pet sitters and drop-in visits, billed per visit, per week or after a stay. One invoice with the dates on each line covers a week of walks or a whole holiday stay.

Tips

  • Date every line, so the client can check the walks against their calendar.
  • Charge per pet. A second dog or a cat on an overnight stay is more work, so give it its own line.
  • Make paying easy. In the Invoxa app, the invoice goes out as a link the client pays by card through your own Stripe account.

Frequently asked questions

How should pet sitters charge?

Most charge per walk, per drop-in visit and per night for overnight stays, with a fee for each extra pet and higher rates on holidays. Put each on its own line so the client sees what they are paying for.

Should I ask for a deposit?

For long stays and holidays, many sitters take a deposit when the dates are booked. Enter it under Amount paid on the final invoice so the balance due is right.
