Editing Pet Sitting Preferences 

 

To receive more relevant requests, it's a good idea to specify your pet and booking preferences. Here are preferences you can set and manage from your account:

  • the maximum number of pets you're comfortable watching per day
  • pet size preferences 
  • whether you offer cat services
  • whether you offer puppy services (dogs under 1 year old)
  • your cancellation policy

To manage your pet preferences: 

1. Navigate to your profile and select the service you want to modify pet preferences for.

2. Choose how many pets you can sit at a time, details about your availability, your cancellation policy, and more.
