What a pet sitting receipt should include
- The date you were paid and a receipt number
- The pet owner’s name, and the pets you cared for
- The dates of care
- What you did and how it was charged: visits, days, nights or walks, and your rate
- The amount, in numbers and in words, and how it was paid
- Your name, contact details and signature
Charging by the visit, day, night or walk
Most pet sitters charge per visit (a 30-minute drop-in to feed and let a dog out), per night (staying in the home) or per day (boarding or day care). Dog walkers usually charge per walk.
Choose “Charged by” in the form, fill in how many and your rate, and the receipt shows it, for example “6 visits @ $25.00/visit”. Add separate lines for extras such as a holiday surcharge, a second pet or a vet trip, and the total adds up.
Receipts and taxes for pet sitters
If you pet sit for clients as your own business, the money you earn is self-employment income. In the US you generally must pay self-employment tax if your net earnings from self-employment were $400 or more in the year, worked out on Schedule SE.
Keep a copy of every receipt you give, with your expenses (food, mileage, supplies), so your records add up at tax time.

Frequently asked questions
Is this pet sitting receipt generator free?
Yes. It is free to use, needs no account or sign-up, and never adds a watermark or a SnapPaperwork logo to your receipt.
Can I use it for dog walking or boarding?
Yes. Choose “Walk”, “Day” or “Night” under “Charged by”, and change the title in “Wording” if you like, for example to “DOG WALKING RECEIPT”.
How is the amount worked out?
Fill in how many visits, days, nights or walks and your rate, and the first payment line becomes how many times the rate. You can still type a different amount, and add more lines for extras.
Can I print a copy for me and one for the owner?
Yes. Tick “Two copies on one page” with the Basic, Letter or Register slip layout and cut the page in half.
Can I send the receipt by text or email?
Yes. On a phone, tap “Share” to send the PDF through Messages, WhatsApp, email or any app you use. On a computer, download the PDF and attach it.
Are my details uploaded or stored on your servers?
