Dog walkers need 3 forms when taking on new clients: 

  • The Dog Walking Contract outlines service terms, compensation, cancellation, liability, and responsibilities, ensuring clear expectations for both parties.
  • The Veterinary Release Form authorises emergency medical treatment for the pet when the owner is unavailable.
  • The Pet and Owner’s Information Sheet details the pet’s health, behaviour, daily needs, and owner’s contact information.

Find these forms and other free resources at the bottom of this post to help. 

This form is part of the free dog walking resources I offer to those wanting help with starting a dog walking business.

  4. Thank you for this, I’m setting up my dog walking and pet sitting business. This is a great help!
    I saw someone asked if the forms are ok to use in the UK, didn’t see a reply….are they ok for the UK?

    • yeah, its really just a liability form and the most important part is getting written permission that dog can be let off lead, should you want to and letting client know what is their and what is your responisbility, eg if dog gets hurt and its not your fault, just an accident, you are not responsible etc.

  5. Thank you so much for this help. I am about to start my dog walking and pet sitting business and when you are starting you are quite short in budget and without doubt this is such a great push.

  6. Thank you for this!

  7. Thank you for these templates, they are really helpful. Just wanted to check if they are ok to use In England as I know Scotland has different rules?!

    Reply
    • That will have to do more with your insurance policy than actual laws. They should be fine. They are mainly just liability and info forms.

  8. Thank you so much for providing these excellent templates – so generous and thoughtful of you!

    Reply
    • Aww thanks Gail, glad they are of use.

  9. Outstanding Template James, Thank you for making this available to us. I have used it for my first client and they were most impressed with the detail and protection it offers to both parties.
