Mobile Pet Groomer invoice template
Mobile grooming is priced by breed, coat and temperament, with travel built into the rate. Build one below — prefilled mobile pet groomer services, payment terms, PDF download, and a public payment link.
How mobile pet groomer invoicing actually works
Breed and size are the starting point, but coat condition is what actually determines the time. A severely matted coat takes far longer, carries a genuine risk of skin injury, and often has to be shaved rather than brushed out — a decision the owner may not want but which humane handling requires. Price de-matting separately and document the condition and the decision.
Mobile service means one appointment per slot with drive time attached, so the effective rate has to carry the travel. Zone pricing is clearer to customers than a separate travel line and easier to defend.
What belongs on a mobile pet groomer invoice
Beyond the universals — your details, the customer's details, a unique invoice number, dates, totals and payment terms — these are the lines that matter in this trade.
- Pet name, breed, size and coat type
- The variables the price is built from — and useful history for next time.
- Services performed
- Bath, full groom, breed cut, de-shed, nails, ears, glands, teeth — itemised.
- De-matting or condition surcharge
- Time and difficulty beyond a standard groom, with the coat condition noted.
- Handling notes and any incident
- Temperament, muzzle use, existing skin conditions, and anything found during grooming.

Getting paid as a mobile pet groomer
- Collect at the van on completion, and rebook on the spot — grooming is naturally recurring on a six-to-eight-week cycle.
- State a cancellation and no-show policy; a missed mobile appointment costs you the slot and the drive.
- Document coat condition with photographs before de-matting or shaving. It protects you when an owner is unhappy with a necessary shave-down.
Example invoice wording: Completed mobile grooming appointment including bath, trim, and nail service.
Mobile Pet Groomer invoicing questions
What should a mobile pet groomer invoice include?
A mobile pet groomer invoice should include your business details, the customer's contact information, itemized services, materials or fees, taxes, payment terms, a due date, and a clear total due.
Can mobile pet groomers send invoices from a phone?
Yes. BillingDone is designed for fast mobile invoice creation so you can create, send, and collect payment while you are still on site.
Can I save common services?
Yes. Start with the built-in Quick Add Invoice Library, then save custom services, prices, and descriptions for your own repeat work.
Why does de-matting cost extra?
Because it is substantially more time and carries real risk of skin injury, and severe matting frequently has to be shaved rather than brushed out for the animal's welfare. Pricing it separately and documenting the coat condition protects both the groomer and the owner.
How should mobile grooming handle travel charges?
Zone pricing built into the service rate is generally clearer than a separate travel line. Mobile grooming is one appointment per slot with drive time attached, and the rate has to reflect that.
