So you’ve found the perfect sitter, contacted them, and had a Meet & Greet—sounds like you’re ready to book! To do this:
- In the upper-right corner of your screen, select your name, and then Inbox from the dropdown.
- Locate the conversation with the sitter you want to book with, under Pending requests. Select the Book Now button.
- Review booking details to make sure the dates, the number of pets, and the price details are correct, then enter/review your payment for the booking. If you have a coupon or promo code, click Enter promo code.
- Click Request to Book.
Once the sitter accepts your request, the service will be booked. You'll receive an email confirmation, and the stay will appear in the Upcoming bookings section of your account.
Important information
- Cat in a Flat is part of the Rover Group, so when you use Cat in a Flat to find a pet care provider, your booking is made with Rover. Booking and paying through Rover is required per our Terms of Service.
- Never pay your sitter by cash or check—this can expose you to fraud and makes your bookings ineligible for the Rover Guarantee and dedicated support.
- If you modified your pending request to include additional dates or pets, then your bank account or credit card will be debited for the new price. The previous charge for the initial request will appear as well, but it will drop off once the new charge is finalized.
- Please contact your sitter directly if you need to make changes to your booking. Once they agree to the changes, they can make the necessary updates to the booking from their end.
