Dog walking invoices sent automatically

You walk 6 dogs a day for the same families every week. The last thing you need is to build invoices at 9pm. AutoInvoice sends them while you're still out on the lead.

Dog walkers typically bill the same 5–15 families weekly or monthly. That's a lot of repetitive invoicing for a business that runs on your feet, not a laptop. AutoInvoice removes the paperwork entirely.

Does any of this sound familiar?

  • Manually totalling up weekly walks and building a separate invoice per family
  • Clients who pay sporadically because they've lost track of what they owe
  • Spending weekend evenings on admin that should take zero minutes
  • No clear record of what each family has paid over the year

AutoInvoice eliminates all of it. Set up takes 5 minutes. After that, invoicing takes 0 minutes.

How it works for dog walkers

Three steps. Done in 5 minutes. Then it runs itself.

1

Add your clients

Enter each client's name, email, service description, and your rate. Takes 30 seconds per client.

2

Set the schedule

Choose weekly, fortnightly, or monthly — and the date to start. AutoInvoice does the rest.

3

Get paid automatically

Invoices go out at 8am on the right date. Payment reminders follow automatically. You just watch the money come in.

Built for how dog walkers actually work

Weekly billing per client

Set a weekly or monthly rate per family and AutoInvoice sends every Friday or on the 1st — whatever you choose. Zero manual work.

Automatic reminders so you get paid

Clients forget. AutoInvoice doesn't. Overdue reminders go out at 3 and 7 days automatically on Solo and Pro plans.

WhatsApp invoices — 98% open rate

Dog walking clients are on their phones all day. Send invoices directly to WhatsApp and they're seen immediately.

Professional PDF invoices

Every invoice is a properly formatted PDF with your business name, client details, service description, and total. Looks great on any device.

“I was writing the same invoice to 8 families every Friday evening. Now AutoInvoice sends them at 8am and I wake up to payment notifications. Genuinely life-changing for a €9/month tool.”

Questions from dog walkers

I have some clients I see 3 days a week and some 5. Can I set different rates per client?

Yes — each client has their own rate, service description, and schedule. Completely independent billing per family.

What if a client goes on holiday and pauses walks for two weeks?

Pause the client's schedule in the app. No invoices go out while paused. Resume when the walks restart — the schedule picks up automatically.

Do I need to charge VAT as a self-employed dog walker in Ireland?

Only if your annual turnover exceeds €42,500 — unlikely for most sole trader dog walkers. No VAT registration needed below that threshold. AutoInvoice works without VAT by default.

Can I send a one-off invoice for a new client before setting up a schedule?

Yes — one-off invoices work alongside scheduled ones. Great for new clients you're still trialling or ad-hoc jobs.
