Here's how to message your pet sitter in the Walkies Journal app.
Send a message
Tap Messages.
Tap the box at the bottom and type your message.
Tap the send button.
Your message appears on the right, and your pet sitter is told. You'll see Delivered, then Read once they've seen it.
Good to know
Your pet sitter's messages are on the left. The Messages tab shows how many are unread.
If your pet sitter is on Walkies Max, you can send photos, videos and GIFs too. See Can I send photos, videos and GIFs to my pet sitter?
Links, phone numbers and email addresses can be tapped, and a message that's only a link shows a preview card. See What happens when I tap a link in a message?
Each message shows who sent it, and the conversation shows dates and times. See How do I see who sent each message, and when?
During a walk or visit, you can also live chat with whoever is doing it in the walk or visit's Feed. See How do I comment on a walk or visit?
Both owners in your household share the same conversation.
Tap a message to Copy it, or to Delete one of yours. Deleting removes it for your pet sitter too.
Scroll up to see older messages.
If you can't cancel an appointment in the app, the app offers Message pet sitter with a message ready to send. See How do I cancel an appointment?
