The Paperwork Pack

Right now, it's just an idea. This is the thing that makes it real.

Every dog walking business that ever existed started as a daydream on somebody's commute. The ones that actually happened all crossed the same line at some point: the day the person stopped thinking about it and did one concrete thing. This is that thing.

The paperwork is where "I'd love to" quietly becomes "I've started." It's the least glamorous part and the most important — because without proper contracts and forms, you're not a business, you're a person hoping nothing goes wrong. Clients feel that. Get this right and you don't just look professional from day one — you are one.

Written by a Registered Veterinary Nurse with more than 25 years working with other people's pets, so it covers what actually matters.

What's inside:

Dog walking — a client and dog information sheet, a veterinary release form, terms and conditions, and a service contract.

Pet sitting — client and pet information, a veterinary release form, a medication form, cat sitting instructions, small pets/birds/reptiles instructions, and terms and conditions.

Every document is white-label. Add your name, and it's yours. These are the same forms I use in my own business. Bought separately, the dog walking and pet sitting packs come to £64 — together here, £49.

One honest thing before you buy.

This pack makes you legitimate. It doesn't, on its own, make you booked. It won't tell you what to charge, how to find your first clients, or whether you can actually afford to leave your job — and those are the questions that decide whether this becomes a business or stays a hobby.

If some part of you already knows you want the whole thing — the pricing worked out for you, a roadmap to your exact leaving date, the scripts for when the phone rings, and me and a community in your corner — then don't buy the paperwork on its own. Everything in this pack is already inside Hand In Your Notice in 6 Months. Start there, and you get the foundation and the path in one go.

But if today you just want to take that first real step and make it official — this is it. Welcome to the start.

Getting it right since 2020 — so you don't have to get it wrong.
