  • Client requests: Clients can't modify bookings themselves; they must contact the pet care provider.
  • Unaccepted changes: If not accepted, the booking remains active but unchanged.
  • Cancellation policies: These are not applied to booking date modifications unless the owner shortens or cancels the stay.
  • Payment delays: Payments may be delayed if a booking is modified near the end of an active stay and the owner confirms after completion. In such cases, payment is released 2 days after the owner’s confirmation.
