EXACTLY WHAT YOU RECEIVE
The workbook is an administrative business-management template. It does not provide legal, accounting, tax, veterinary or financial advice. Professional and regulatory requirements vary by location and business model.
The Recurring Schedules worksheet is a planning register. It does not automatically generate future Bookings records. Confirmed service should still be represented in the operational booking workflow according to the workbook documentation.
FAQ
This release is positioned for Microsoft Excel 365. We do not claim Google Sheets compatibility without a separately tested Sheets version.
No. Recurring Schedules is a planning register, not an automatic booking generator. This is stated intentionally so the product is not oversold.
No. It records management data such as payments, refunds, expenses and mileage/travel. Formal accounting and tax treatment depends on the user’s jurisdiction and professional advice.
The workbook is designed primarily for solo and small pet-care operations. Larger teams may need dedicated software for assignment, permissions, portals and automation.
