Computer or mobile browser

1. Navigate to your Inbox by selecting the conversation icon.

2. Open the Upcoming bookings or Current bookings section based on the status of your booking, then select the request you need to modify.

3.  Visit the service details and select Modify booking.

4. From here, make modifications to any of the following options for your booking:

• Dates
• Number of walks or drop-ins per day
• Pets

If your cancellation policy includes a penalty fee for any booking modifications, you have the option to waive it. To do this, tap the toggle in the Extras and Adjustments section, making it green to waive the cancellation penalty.

5. Once you’ve adjusted the booking, review your changes and write a short message to the owner explaining the updates. When finished, select Request Owner Confirmation. 

Once you submit the request, your client has up to 72 hours to confirm the modification. You'll receive a confirmation email once your client accepts the changes.

Additional information 

Some helpful information to know:

• Clients cannot modify bookings at this time. They’ll need to request a booking modification by contacting the sitter directly.
  
  
• Clients 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.
  
  
• Cancellation policies are not applied to booking date modifications unless an owner shortens or completely cancels the stay.
  
  
• 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 clients have 72 hours to confirm a booking modification. In cases like these, your payment will be released 2 days after the owner’s confirmation.
