As a sitter, you may occasionally get duplicate requests from the same pet owner.
Please always respond to all requests, even duplicates.
If you don’t respond to an initial message within 24 hours, your profile will be automatically set to "unavailable" and removed from the search results, to generally prevent more unanswered messages on our site with an assumption that you are no longer active on Pawshake.
Once you’ve responded, you can archive messages to remove them from your inbox.
