A recurring service allows clients to set a daytime service to repeat with you every week. Just book it once, and the service will repeat automatically until you cancel. This is a great way to set a consistent schedule with repeat clients. 

You can set up a recurring service for dog walking, day care, and drop-in visits.

Accept a recurring service request

If an owner requests a recurring service, it will be displayed in the Booking Details section indicating that the service repeats weekly. Simply book the request as you normally would.

Modify a recurring service

You can make changes to a recurring service for the current week or for future weeks. This allows you to:

• add upcoming services 
• remove upcoming services  
• edit service start times
• edit the schedule template (the regular set schedule you have with your client)
• end a recurring service with a client so no new bookings will generate going forward

The updates you make will only impact this week’s service.

Rover app:

1. Open the recurring service you want to modify and tap Details
2. Tap Modify, then Modify details.
