I cancelled the 2nd day with a puppy because he was not house trained, do I modify the payment?

I'm not sure how to modify the payment or if it is necessary since there could be lack of transparency on the owner's part. Advice? A doggy daycare was booked for me for 2 days with a puppy. I completed the first day of day care, but I told the owner I could not take the dog the 2nd day because the puppy was not at all acting house trained in my house even though the owner claims he was house trained. The owner was apologetic and understood, but do I modify the booking? It is not passed the original booking days by 1 day and the payment still says pending. I'm new to Rover!

I would call support @ [Edit: Rover’s contact options have changed. Visit the Rover Help Center at https://support.rover.com/ to find the phone number, help articles, or chat with the team] to cancel the day and refund the client

PUPPIES WILL ALWAYS HAVE ACCIDENTS. You should know that if you want to work with dogs. That's like babysitting babies and being angry they pee in their diapers..

You do not modify nothing, you call Rover and explain what happened, and they will fix it for you.

I’m not angry at all! I would have continued the booking if I had less carpet areas in my house, but the puppy had over 6 accidents. I’m renting so i could not do it. I’m calling Rover today, thanks for the advice!

Puppies, and even full-grown dogs, will often have accidents in a new environment, especially when they're under stress and trying to get set up on a new potty routine. I would steer clear of puppies especially if you don't have a carpet-free area in your rental that they could hang out in if they're having trouble. Or, you need to be extremely attentive to their potty needs and give a potty break 10 minutes after every time they drink water, immediately whenever they wake up from a nap, after each play session, etc.

If the stay is still active, you can click "Modify" and send Rover a message detailing what you'd like to do. They are very quick and super helpful. If that option isn't there anymore, you have to call them or go through their "Contact Us" link at the bottom of the homepage, then click "Contact Support" at the bottom, which brings you to this link: https://support.rover.com/hc/en-us/re... They are extremely fast at getting back to these support requests. I almost always get same-day responses. I think they try to keep the phone line for more urgent issues.
