Accountant for Dog Walkers & Pet Sitters, UK
Being self-employed as one of the UK's dog walkers and pet sitters brings a tax position that rewards good record-keeping and punishes poor records. You can claim mileage and van costs, equipment and leads, insurance, DBS, licensing and phone, yet most people in the trade pay more tax than they need to simply because those costs are never properly captured. Get the records right and the bill comes down to what it should be.
Your Tax Help Accountants works with dog walkers and pet sitters across the UK. Dog walkers and pet sitters cover heavy mileage, carry insurance and equipment costs, and home boarders need a fair home-use split and licensing. Mileage and insurance are the main claims, and home boarding adds property apportionment. One fixed fee, one accountant who understands the trade, and more of your hard-earned money kept where it belongs.
If you have only been claiming the obvious costs, you are almost certainly leaving money on the table. A quick review captures what you have missed and gets your tax bill down to what it should be.
What We Handle
Your annual return prepared and filed accurately, with your bill worked out and explained in advance so there are no January surprises.
We claim mileage and van costs, equipment and leads, insurance, DBS, licensing and phone, every allowable cost captured so you keep more of what you earn.
Your van or car claimed by the method that saves most, with mileage between jobs captured in full, the single biggest deduction most mobile trades miss.
Below £90,000 turnover VAT is optional; above it, mandatory. We watch your position, register you at the right time and pick the scheme that suits your trade.
A clear fixed fee agreed up front, one accountant from start to finish, and everything, return, advice and filing, handled for you.
Behind on one or several years? We bring you fully up to date, claim the costs that were missed, and deal with HMRC penalties where they apply.
Mobile workers routinely under-claim mileage and vehicle costs, quietly overpaying hundreds a year. A quick review captures what you are owed.
Recent Client Outcome
When a self-employed dog walker who also offers home boarding came to us, they had been filing their own returns and declaring their income, but claiming only the obvious costs because they did not realise how much else counted. Their tax bill felt high for what they actually took home.
We went through their real position and claimed mileage, equipment, insurance and licensing, and calculated a fair home-use split for boarding, and set up a simple way to keep records going forward.
The result was a lower, accurate bill, a prior year corrected where it was still in the window, and a fixed annual fee, with tax season no longer a source of stress.
