# Free dog grooming invoice template Pet care is priced by the animal: size, coat, temperament, and what you did. A groomer's invoice lists the bath, the cut and the extras like nail trimming or de-shedding, and a pet sitter's lists the visits and overnight stays. The template below bills a grooming visit for a medium dog, with the add-ons that raise the total. Edit it for your own service list and save the PDF from this page. No account, no upload. Pet sitters can reuse the same layout with visits and nights instead of grooming services. ## Fill it in and save as PDF The lines are examples for dog groomers and pet sitters.

Add-ons such as nails, teeth, de-shedding and flea treatments are separate lines. Matting is a time charge, billed because it takes extra time and care. Regular customers often book every four to eight weeks. Pet sitters bill per visit, per walk or per night, with a higher rate for overnight stays and holidays, plus extra for more pets. Sitters often invoice weekly or after a trip and ask for a deposit for longer bookings. If you do the same visits for the same client every week, use [recurring invoices](https://jiffy-invoice.com/features/recurring-invoices) to bill them automatically. ## Tips to get paid faster 1. Put the dog's name on the invoice. Owners like it, and it matches your appointment records. 2. Explain matting fees before the groom if you can see mats, then repeat the charge on the invoice. 3. For pet sitting, list each date of the stay. Owners compare it with their travel dates. 4. Ask for a deposit on holiday sitting, when you turn down other bookings to hold the dates. 5. Let owners pay by card at pickup or through a link, see [online payments](https://jiffy-invoice.com/features/online-payments). Add a [reminder](https://jiffy-invoice.com/features/payment-reminders) for sitting invoices paid after the trip. ## Common invoice mistakes - Pricing by breed and ignoring the actual coat condition - Not listing the pet's name, which makes the bill harder to match to the appointment - Billing pet sitting visits from memory instead of a calendar ## Questions ### What should a dog grooming invoice include?
