Payment due within 7 days of the invoice date. Accepted methods: card, ACH, or autopay. A late fee of [amount/%] applies to balances past due. Thank you for your business!
Put your business name, address, phone, and email at the top, then the customer’s name and the service address. Add an invoice number and date so every bill is easy to track and reference.
List each charge on its own line: weekly visits with quantity and per-visit rate, an additional-dog charge, any one-time initial cleanup, and add-ons like deodorizing. Clear line items prevent disputes.
Show a subtotal, sales tax if you collect it, and the total due. Finish with payment terms — the due date, accepted methods, and any late fee — so the customer knows exactly when and how to pay.
The sample above is a template, not tax or legal advice. Check your state’s rules on whether pet waste removal is a taxable service.
A pet waste removal invoice should include your business name and contact info, the customer's name and service address, an invoice number and date, itemized line items (such as weekly scooping visits, additional-dog charges, and any one-time initial cleanup), a subtotal, sales tax if you collect it, the total due, and clear payment terms with a due date and accepted payment methods.
Most pooper-scooper businesses bill monthly for recurring routes. List each visit completed during the billing period as a line item (for example, four weekly visits), add per-dog and add-on charges, then bill the total as one monthly invoice. Charging on a predictable monthly cycle with autopay keeps cash flow steady and cuts down on chasing payments.
It depends on your state and local rules. Some states treat pet waste removal as a taxable service and others do not. Check with your state's department of revenue or your accountant. If you do collect tax, show the tax rate and dollar amount as a separate line so the invoice is transparent and audit-ready.
Common terms for pet waste removal are due on receipt or net 7 for residential customers, since service is recurring and amounts are small. State the due date, the accepted payment methods (card, ACH, or autopay), and any late fee. Setting up automatic billing removes the need for terms entirely because the card is charged on schedule.
Stop hand-writing invoices. Tidytail sets your per-visit rates, auto-builds monthly subscriptions, tracks completed visits, and collects autopay — so every scoop on the schedule invoices and bills itself.
