In order to make the boarding period hassle-free for sitters, owners and the pets alike, WoofBnB outlines a set of simple regulations.
Enquiry status: The owner has requested for a booking with an initial message seeking details and dates of availability of the sitter. Sitter can pre-approve them with a specific price. The sitter can politely decline if unavailable, or has heard negative reviews about a particular returning customer from fellow sitters. If the enquiry is pre-approved, then the owner can confirm and pay if they are happy to go ahead (or cancel if they no longer need the service).
Pre-approved: In this case, the sitter has already approved, meaning the sitter has shown his/her availability on a particular date. Owners can confirm and pay or cancel if services are no longer required.
Direct booking: Here the owner makes a direct reservation via sitter listings and enters credit card details. If the sitter confirms the booking, then the reservation status changes to “confirmed” and the charge is made on the card. Inversely, if the sitter cancels the booking due to unavailability, then no charge is made on the card.
Confirmed: Your booking is on! A booking/reservation gains a “confirmed” status when either the owner has confirmed a booking that the sitter had pre-approved or the sitter has accepted a direct booking they made. The owner still has the leverage to cancel a booking if he doesn’t require. Likewise, refunds will be initiated depending on sitter’s cancellation and refund policy.
In progress: Your pooch is being pampered and serviced by the sitter! The sitter can now keep the owner updated with funkypics of their pet having fun!
Completed: The service is finished and the happy owner can now leave a review for the sitter!
Expired: A service/booking is said to have expired when the sitter does not respond to the owner’s booking request even after 24 h of initial request made.
To cancel a booking that is already confirmed please contact our Customer Support Team on 7066665424 or write us at help@woofbnb.in. We will make sure to you get an alternative sitter in the meanwhile.
