Bookings and Visit Logs

Create care requests and bookings, chat with the other side, and log each visit.

Every visit — sitting, grooming, walking, daycare, training, vet transport, boarding — is a booking on a pet.

Creating a booking

  • Pet owners open Home → Bookings → Create Care Request, pick the pet and the business workspace, and set the dates. Requests arrive as pending — the business approves or declines.
  • Businesses open Bookings in their workspace → Book Client Slot, pick a shared pet, set dates, service type, and price.

Submitting the same request twice does not create duplicates — an identical pending request is recognized as the same one.

Booking statuses

StatusMeaning
PendingWaiting for the other side to approve or decline
ApprovedThe request was accepted — a community booking is confirmed
ConfirmedA commercial visit both sides agreed to
InvoicedThe visit has been billed
CompletedThe visit happened
CancelledDeclined or cancelled by either side

Only the care team — the assigned caregiver or a workspace member — can confirm, invoice, or complete a paid visit. Clients approve or cancel their own requests.

Chat

Select a booking to open its thread. Messages are delivered in real time to everyone who can see the booking — the pet owner, the assigned caregiver, and workspace members. No refresh needed.

Visit logs

During a booking, the caregiver posts a log per visit: treatments (fed, walked, medication given — the options match the service type), notes, and a photo. Clients see each entry in their portal the moment it's posted.

  • Logs can only be added inside the booking window and not for cancelled bookings.
  • A grooming booking tracks baths, nail trims, and ear cleaning; a sitting visit tracks feeding, walks, and medication — the treatment list follows the service type.
