Additional information 

Some helpful information to know:

• Clients can't modify bookings at this time. They’ll need to request a booking modification by contacting the pet care provider 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. If you want to apply a cancellation fee for a specific service, you can create a new booking and have your client initiate a booking request.
  
  
• 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.
