Cancelling and paying

The terms, in plain words.

If you cancel

Free to cancel at least 24 hours before the start. Inside 24 hours, the booking is charged in full and your sitter is paid.

If your sitter cancels

You aren't charged. You're refunded in full and told straight away. We record late cancellations and review every case.

When payment is released

You pay when you book. We hold the payment until 48 hours after the booking ends, which is also the window for either side to raise a problem. Then it is released to your sitter.

No tiers, no surcharges

A status badge won't affect the price you'll see.

Platinum and Founding status change where a sitter appears in search, not what an owner pays. CatSitz never adds holiday or peak surcharges to our booking fee.
