Overview
A clearer way to manage your dog walkers paperwork
What we solve
Common UK admin problems we solve
- Owner agreements started informally — emergency vet authority, off-lead consent and key-handling never written down, and a decision has to be made on the spot when something goes wrong
- Walk logs done by memory or text, with no per-dog record when an owner asks how their dog was over the past week
- Pricing structure (solo vs pack, multi-dog, weekend, off-peak) inconsistent across owners, and the round's true earning per hour is hard to read
- Key handling tracked in a notebook with no clear log of who currently holds which key, and no signed acknowledgement when a key is returned
- Self-assessment compiled each January from card receipts and cash takings, with MTD ITSA quarterly reporting from April 2026 now in scope
- The same booking confirmations, weekly photo-update messages and holiday-cover handovers rewritten from blank every time
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
- Are these dog walker templates UK-specific?
- Yes. A4 print-ready, GBP, UK conventions for owner agreements, key handling, off-lead consent and on-walk paperwork. The owner agreement reflects how UK dog walkers typically structure responsibility for the dog, the key and the home during the booked window.
- Does the owner agreement cover off-lead and emergency-vet authority?
- Yes. The form captures off-lead consent (with location qualifiers), emergency vet authority and a financial cap, plus the named first-call contact if you cannot reach the owner. These are common UK dog-walking conventions; your insurer may have specific wording — check theirs and adapt if needed.
- Will the MTD compliance kit help with the April 2026 quarterly reporting changes?
- Yes. The kit is structured for clean quarterly bookkeeping — categorised income (solo, pack, multi-dog, holiday cover), categorised expenses (mileage, equipment, training), quarter-by-quarter summary. Submit through MTD-compatible software yourself, or hand the file to your accountant.
- Can the pricing calculator handle pack discounts and multi-dog rates?
- Yes. The workbook models walks as solo / pack / multi-dog with modifiers for weekend, holiday and travel-time, so you can see what your round earns per hour and where to focus density.
- What file formats do I get?
- Most documents are PDFs with a fillable business-name header. Premium adds editable Word (.docx). The pricing calculator and MTD kit are Excel workbooks.
