    ​


What you can turn on or off

Good to know

  • Your pet sitter decides which notifications they send at all. You only get the ones they've turned on.

  • SMS and WhatsApp only work if your pet sitter has them. If both are on, WhatsApp is tried first.

  • Messages about your bookings being accepted, declined or changed, and new contracts, always come.

  • Owner 2 at the top has the second owner's own settings.

  • If push notifications were turned off for the app before, the app asks you to turn them on in your phone's Settings.

  • Your notifications are listed in Home > Notifications. See How do I check my notifications?
