Has anyone put in a fence for their business and claimed it on their taxes?

I would recommend you consult a CPA or other tax expert for tax related questions.

On a personal note though, I installed a new fence last year and claimed it on my taxes as a Rover expense. I can't speak to what kind of 'proof' you'd need if you get audited, but I imagine it would be the same kind of proof you'd have to provide when claiming dog treats, cleaning supplies, etc. as a deduction. Keep thorough records, receipts and take photos.

Hi I am an accountant! I don't see a problem claiming fencing, as long as you can prove that its a necessary expense for your business. I understand, as a sitter, that it can be necessary. However if you were to get audited, the IRS can be funny about stuff like that. So just be prepared and able to prove it's necessity. When I move, I'm planning on getting temporary fencing (dog play pens) for the same reason. Just keep receipts, estimates and such for tax purposes!

Hope that helps!
