Additional Information  

Some helpful information to know:

• Pet owners cannot modify confirmed bookings at this time. They’ll need to contact their sitter to request additional changes.
  
  
• Pet owners must review and approve the booking modification within 72 hours of submitting the change. If the change wasn’t accepted, the booking will still remain active but unchanged.
  
  
• Payments for a service may be delayed for a booking if it was modified near the end of an active stay and the owner didn't confirm it until after the booking was completed. This is because pet owners have 72 hours to confirm a booking modification. In cases like these, your payment will be released 2 days after the owner’s confirmation.
