How to bill pet sitting
List each service — drop-in visit, overnight, or full-day sitting — with the count and rate, and note the dates and the pets. Add separate lines for extras like an additional pet, medication administration, holiday rates, or key pickup. Clear itemization over a multi-day booking makes the total easy for the owner to understand and approve.
Deposits, holidays, and repeat clients
Busy periods like holidays often carry a premium and may need a deposit to hold dates — list the deposit as a credit and put the holiday rate on its own line. Repeat clients are your steadiest income, so make paying easy and invoice promptly. Invoices with convenient online payment get paid up to twice as fast, per Xero (2024).
How to make a pet sitting invoice in 7 steps
Open the invoice with the fields already set up
Start from this page so the invoice loads with line items and wording used for pet sitting work. Creating and previewing needs no account.
Add your details and the client
Enter your business name, address and contact details, then the client name and billing address exactly as they should appear on the record.
Give the invoice a number and dates
Use a unique invoice number in one unbroken run, then set the issue date and the due date so the payment term is unambiguous.
Replace the sample lines with the work you did
Swap the example lines for the real job. Describe the unit you are billing, whether that is hours, visits, or units, and put the rate on the same line. The starting lines here open with overnight pet sitting (per night).
Check the totals and any tax
Totals calculate as you type. Confirm the quantities, rates and any tax line against your own records, since sales tax rules and what is taxable differ by jurisdiction.
State how and when to pay
Add the payment terms, the methods you accept and any late fee your agreement allows, so the client has no reason to wait for clarification.
Preview, then download the PDF
Read the finished invoice before you send it. Preview is free; a PDF download costs $4.99, or is included with Unlimited.
Frequently asked questions
How do I invoice for overnight pet sitting?
Add a line for overnights with the number of nights as quantity and your per-night rate, then add drop-in visits or extras on separate lines. Note the dates and pets, and the total calculates automatically. Download the PDF or receipt.
Should pet sitters charge extra for additional pets or holidays?
Commonly yes. Put an additional-pet fee and any holiday premium on their own lines so the owner sees the breakdown. Some sitters set these rates in advance in a service agreement.
