About the template
What this dog walker quote template covers and why owners commit to monthly contracts
Dog walker quotes lose work when 'walks from $ X' is the only line. The template below shows walk duration, solo vs group, frequency per week, pickup-zone surcharge, and any boarding or holiday cover.
Owners want predictability and price clarity. Quoting a 4-week or monthly retainer with the visits visible converts higher than per-walk pricing.
What to include
Every dog walkers quote should have these lines

Avoid these
Common mistakes on dog walkers quotes
The patterns that quietly lose jobs, get queried at payment time, or leave money on the table.
Mistake: Per-walk pricing without retainer
Better: Quote 4-week retainer with the walk schedule visible. Predictable revenue and higher attach.
Mistake: Solo vs group rate not stated
Better: Group walks are typically 20-30% cheaper. State both rates so owners choose.
Mistake: Holiday cover bundled
Better: Holiday and overnight cover commands a premium. Quote separately so the standard rate stays accessible.
Mistake: Pickup zone unclear
Better: State the radius and per-km surcharge so out-of-zone bookings make sense.
Mistake: Cancellation policy missing
Better: 24-hour notice or walk forfeit. Without it, last-minute cancels eat the day.
Mistake: No photo/update policy
Better: Photo via WhatsApp on every walk is the standard. Quote as 'included' so owners see the value.
