Dog Walking Log, Free to Print

A dog walking log you fill in with a pen, one row per walk. Page 1 holds 14 write-in rows: date, time, how long the walk ran, the route you took, and a notes column for what happened. Page 2 tallies walks per day across the week, adds one line for the water bowl and one for the poop-bag restock, and states plainly what the whole thing is: a pet care log for keeping records, with the advice left to the owner's written instructions.

How to use this log: print both pages at 100% scale (the site chrome drops out on paper). One row per walk, filled in the same day while the details are still exact: what time you left, how long it ran, which route, and one line of facts in the notes. Row 01 is a filled example; write over it. When the 14 rows fill up, print page 1 again and start a fresh sheet.

Dog or client name:

One line per walk, same day. Row 01 is a filled example; duration is what really happened.

Weekly tally + two care lines

The count behind the rows on page 1, and the two things that happen every day whether or not there is a walk.

Write the number of walks that happened, not the number that were planned. The gap between the two is the part worth seeing at the end of the week.

Daily care lines

Water bowl: emptied and refilled fresh today

Poop bags left on hand: — restock the day the spare roll runs out, and write the date here:

This log organizes care; it gives no advice. Anything about health, food, or how far a dog should walk comes from the owner's written instructions, and anything medical goes to the owner and their clinic.

Fits A4 and US Letter at 100%. Grayscale prints fine.

Four opinions on keeping a walking log

  1. (Opinion.) Keep one route boring on purpose. A loop you can walk half-asleep is what keeps the early slot alive on a bad week. Mix in a new street when the day has slack, and the log's route column will show the mix by itself: mostly the dependable loop, sometimes something new.
  2. (Opinion.) Fill the row the same day, in one line. "One line per walk, same day" is the rule the client book ships with, and it holds on a single sheet too. The row written at 8 am takes ten seconds; the batch reconstructed on Saturday takes ten minutes and still gets the times wrong.
  3. (Opinion.) Write the duration that really happened. The plan may have said 30 minutes; the row is for what the clock says. After two weeks the gap between planned and real is the most useful pattern on the page, because it shows which slot always runs short and should be rescheduled.
  4. (Opinion.) Log the short days too. The product's walk-log page says it in a green banner: rain and rest days are information for the owner, not missed work. A row that reads "10 min, cut short, thunder" explains the week; a blank row explains nothing.

What this page is

A care-organization log. It records walks: when, how long, where, and what the notes saw. It holds no guidance on health, feeding, or how far any dog should walk, and no claims about breeds; those live in the owner's written instructions, and medical questions go to the owner and their clinic. What the sheet does do is shorten the handover: the owner reads the week off page 2 in a minute instead of asking for it, and the sitter starts the next visit from facts instead of memory.

Where the full client book fits

Two pages cover one sheet's worth of walks. The Pet Sitter & Dog Walker Client Book covers the whole business: profiles per pet, undated calendars, 30 walk-log rows per book, bookings, payments, supplies, incident reports. From the product README, verbatim:

"Care pages record the owner's written instructions. Nothing here is veterinary advice; medical questions go to the owner and their clinic."

"Vet contact is copied from the owner's card, nothing more."

"Personal use. Print as many copies as you need for your own business. Please don't resell or republish the files."
