Dog Walking Service Agreement & Key-Holding Form

A dog walking agreement template — services, key holding, access and the ground rules agreed and signed, so both sides know where they stand.

Description

A clear agreement is what keeps a walking arrangement professional and worry-free. This form sets out the services, how your key and home access are handled, what happens if plans change, and the sensible limits of what a walker can promise — then takes your signature to confirm it. It covers the things that matter when someone holds your key and walks your dog: secure key holding, how access is managed, your consent (or not) to off-lead walking, cancellation and payment terms, and an honest note that even the best walker can’t guarantee a dog never slips a lead. Agreeing it up front means no awkward surprises. Use it to start every client relationship on a solid footing. Free, fully brandable, and it can be signed online before the first walk — no printing, no posting.

Template FAQs

Common questions about the Dog Walking Service Agreement & Key-Holding Form — what it captures, when to use it, and how to make it your own.

What does a dog walking service agreement cover?

The services provided, how your key and home access are handled, off-lead consent, cancellation and payment terms, insurance, and the reasonable limits of the walker’s responsibility — all agreed and signed before walks begin.

How is my key kept safe?

Reputable walkers keep keys coded rather than labelled with your address, stored securely. The form records that you’ve agreed to the key-holding arrangement so it’s clear and documented.

Why do I need to consent to off-lead walking?

Letting a dog off lead carries inherent risk, even with great recall. The agreement makes your wishes explicit — off lead, secure areas only, or on lead at all times — so the walker follows exactly what you want.

What are the cancellation terms for?

So both sides know where they stand if a walk needs to be cancelled or rearranged. Agreeing notice periods up front avoids misunderstandings and keeps the arrangement fair.

Does signing make the walker liable for anything that happens?

No agreement removes all risk, and this one is honest about that — walkers take every reasonable care and carry insurance, but can’t guarantee against every eventuality. Signing shows you understand and accept those sensible terms.

Is the agreement form free?

Yes — free with a Fun Forms account, fully customisable to your terms, and it can be signed online before the first walk.
