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 and protection for both parties.
  • The Veterinary Release Form authorises emergency medical treatment for the pet when the owner is unavailable, including preferred vet and insurance details, ensuring timely care.
  • The Pet and Owner’s Information Sheet details the pet’s health, behaviour, daily needs, and owner’s contact information, allowing tailored services and preparedness for any situation.

Find these forms and other free resources at the bottom of this post to help. Start your dog walking business with confidence!

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

    • Hi, well you wouldn’t be able to walk dogs during the day cause of school so it would be evenings or weekends for you. So most if not all of your clients would be those that want their dog walked either to spend some time with other dogs or to give it a good walk now and again cause they can’t for whatever reason, or maybe cause they want to go out with the kids and leave the dog knowing you can walk it.

      I’m not sure why your parents would have a problem with it unless they are unsure of dogs themselves, if so tell them you want to offer puppy services, like walks and puppy visits etc, rather than dog services. Tell them you’d like to try it just to see if you could make it work and get some extra pocket money from it, it won’t be very easy for you to be honest as most if not nearly all dog owners want their dog walked during lunchtime during the working week. You could offer other services like cat visits (and other small pets) and visit those animals before and after school, that would most likely be a lot easier to get work.

      Actually, it might be easier to offer small animal and cat visits for the time being and then take on dog walking once you leave school, can drive etc.

  3. This is great thank you. Should an off lead disclaimer be a separate document? Thanks
