For a new pet-sitting business
The Business Side of Pet Sitting
An honest look at the work before you take money for it: what the job actually involves, the parts nobody mentions, what you can be answerable for, and your own capacity written down where you can see it. Then the foundations — who answers what, your name and the claims you may make about yourself, money, records and client data, and a dated worklist of what is still to do.
It carries the questions to take to an accountant, to whoever advises on cover and to whoever deals with business registration where you live, with a line for what they answered; insurance explained in plain English, including what a failed claim means; a client agreement skeleton you finish by hand and both of you sign; and a plan for the days you cannot work, the honest review, and what is still left to sort out.
What it covers
the parts in order
- is this right for me?
- getting the foundations in place
- insurance, in plain English
- your client agreement — the skeleton you finish by hand, three sections of blanks, and the signing page
- the hard parts, and my plan for them
- and first steps, and what is left
What you get
Each pack is a printable PDF you print at home, as often as you like. Choosing a pack takes you to Stripe's own secure checkout, which shows you the amount before you confirm anything, and your download is ready as soon as the payment goes through.
The forms inside are blank on purpose. Everything that depends on you — your vet, the clinic that is open at night, your phone number, your address, your rates, the wording of your own policies — is yours to fill in, so nothing in a pack invents a business or a price for you.
If a pack does not fit the way you care for your animals, tell us. We look forward to feedback to improve or add to our packs.
