🔒 What happens if I forget to start the service?

Sitters must start and complete a service within the platform to be eligible for payment.

This step is important because it:

Confirms that the service has officially begun
Activates the booking in escrow
Allows the service to be properly completed and paid out

If you forget to start the service

If you forget to click “Start Service Delivery” on the day:

You will need to click Start and then Complete the service in order to be eligible for payment.
If the service date has passed and the start option is no longer available, you will need to contact support for assistance.

Please note that delays in starting the service may delay payout.

Why this matters

The start and completion steps create a clear record of service delivery within the platform.

This ensures:

Escrow conditions are met
Payments can be released properly
The booking remains linked to a verified review

We strongly encourage sitters to start the service as soon as it begins to avoid any delays or complications.
