A house sitting invoice covers the billable line items, the totals, the due date, and what happens if payment runs late.
Overnight house sitting runs on trust, because someone’s handing over keys and hoping the night is actually covered. A house sitting invoice gives that handoff a paper trail, so the price, the due date, and the payment expectation don’t end up as loose texts after the sit.
The invoice keeps the pricing up top in Line items, then lands on a clear due-date note under Payment is due on the date, with totals shown alongside. The payment wording spells out advance payment for sessions and what happens after the due date, so the client sees the rules before anything goes overdue.
- Line items Swap the placeholder entry for your actual house sitting, overnight sitting, or add-on charges, then set the prices for each line.
- Totals Check the total the client will be asked to pay, based on the line items you entered.
- Payment is due on the date Confirm the due-date and late-payment wording matches how you book sessions before you send the invoice.
In Plutio, you replace the placeholder service line with your own lines and prices, then send the invoice to the client. If online payment is part of the setup, the same invoice can be paid against the total shown, with the due-date terms sitting underneath in black and white.
We went from spending hours on every proposal to creating fully customized ones in under 5 minutes. That's not an exaggeration - we timed it.

Payment is due on the date shown above. Sessions are paid in advance: single sessions when booked, packs before their first session. If the invoice is unpaid after the due date, I will contact you and may pause future bookings until it is settled.
