CONCEPT TEST · NO BOOKING OR PAYMENT TODAY

Pet sitter spreadsheet setup review

Get a second set of eyes on the system you already use.

A focused review concept for solo pet sitters and dog walkers whose bookings, invoices, payments and expenses live in a spreadsheet—but do not yet work as one weekly system.

Fixed scopeNo subscriptionNo client data required for this test

A deliberately small scope

Review the workflow, then leave with a short fix list.

The concept is designed to answer one operational question without turning into an open-ended consulting project.

01 · BEFORE

Choose one workflow

Bookings to payments, expenses, mileage or weekly capacity—not the whole business at once.

02 · REVIEW

Walk through the workbook

Check structure, repeated manual work and where records stop matching.

03 · AFTER

Prioritize three fixes

Leave with a practical order of operations and a concise setup checklist.

Example review output

See what “three prioritized fixes” actually means.

This fictional example shows the level of detail in the proposed review. It does not use a real business or customer workbook.

FIX 1 · CASH VISIBILITY

Separate invoiced from collected

Add a payment-status field and one outstanding-balance formula so unpaid work cannot disappear inside total revenue.

FIX 2 · SCHEDULING

Give every booking one status

Use a short status list—requested, confirmed, completed, cancelled—so weekly capacity is calculated from the same source.

FIX 3 · WEEKLY REVIEW

Create one operating snapshot

Summarize confirmed visits, unpaid balances, mileage and expenses in one weekly check instead of opening several tabs.
