Pet sitter expense tracker: simple categories for a clearer business

How to track expenses and revenue with a lightweight spreadsheet.

← All guides
01

Track revenue per service

Record each visit, agreed fee, discounts and payment date. A booking is not the same as a payment.

02

Record direct costs

Include transportation, parking and approved job supplies. Keep receipts organized outside client files.

03

Separate recurring costs

Consider software, insurance, equipment maintenance and other regular business expenses.

04

Understand profit versus revenue

Revenue does not equal profit. Account for relevant taxes and payment fees.

05

Review every month

Compare received payments, outstanding invoices and costs. Use the results to improve your pricing.
