Frequently Asked Questions
How does scheduling work in Scritches?
Scheduling is built around your real availability. Once a booking is approved, visits are automatically added to your schedule with the correct dates, times, and services. You always have a clear view of what is coming up without manually entering anything.
How does Scritches prevent double bookings?
Your availability rules are enforced as booking requests come in. If a time slot is already full or outside your working hours, clients cannot request it. This keeps your schedule accurate and avoids overlapping visits.
Can I control my working hours and availability?
Absolutely. You can create invoices manually, adjust line items, or tweak pricing before sending. Automatic invoices give you a starting point, but you always stay in control.
What are service windows, and how do they work?
Service windows let clients request a range of time instead of a specific minute. For example, a client can request a morning window rather than a fixed 9:00 AM visit. This gives you flexibility while still protecting your availability.
Can I set pickup and drop-off times for boarding, daycare, or overnights?
Yes. You can define pickup and drop-off time windows for services like boarding, daycare, or overnights. Clients choose from those windows when booking, so expectations are clear and your schedule stays realistic.
Can I sync my schedule with Google, Apple, or Outlook calendars?
Yes. You can sync your Scritches schedule with Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, or Outlook so your visits appear alongside your personal events. This helps you avoid conflicts and stay organized.
Can I limit how many bookings I take per day or per window?
Yes. You can set capacity limits for specific services or time windows. Once that limit is reached, those options are no longer available for booking.
What happens if a booking spans multiple days?
Multi-day bookings like overnights or boarding are grouped together so they are easy to manage. Pickup and drop-off times are clearly shown, along with any visits that happen in between.
