Dog walking client form questions
Practical answers for independent walkers and pet-care teams setting up a consistent intake.
What is a dog walking client form?
It is an intake completed before walks begin. It organizes owner contacts, dog profiles, schedule, routine, equipment, behavior and health notes, vet information, emergency contacts, and home access for review before scheduling.
What information should I collect for each dog?
Collect a photo, identity, routine, commands, equipment, treat rules, behavior, health or mobility notes, vet, and emergency instructions. Use a separate profile for every dog.
How should I handle home access instructions?
Let clients select an access method, then show relevant key, lockbox, building, parking, or alarm questions. Include supply locations and a failed-entry backup. Limit responses to people who need them.
Can the form screen for behavior concerns?
Yes. Ask about owner-reported triggers, warning signs, reactivity, bite or escape history, handling cues, and equipment. Follow-ups can gather context and route the inquiry to a meet-and-greet.
Can clients register more than one dog?
Yes. Repeat the dog profile, then ask which dogs may walk together, how routines differ, and where each dog stays after the visit. Keep household instructions separate from dog-specific details.
Is the dog walking client form generator free?
Yes. Makeform provides unlimited free forms and responses. Generate, edit, publish, and keep using the intake without a response cap; the paid tier removes the Makeform badge.
Should I collect veterinary and emergency details?
Yes. Ask for the vet and phone, alternate contact, relevant health notes, and client instructions for unexpected illness or injury. Confirm the process during onboarding.
How do I use the form after a client submits it?
Review missing details and arrange a meet-and-greet when needed. Keep the profile available to the assigned walker and request updates when routines, contacts, health notes, equipment, or access changes.
