How to continue accepting new booking requests for certain time blocks only, but still allow current/repeat clients to book at their regular times in the "unavailable" time block?

Hi, so Rover allows walkers set their available times of day in morning, afternoon-ish, and evening increments. If I'm essentially fully booked with repeat clients for one of those time blocks, but would still like to accept requests for other times of day, how might that work? I understand we have the ability to broadly change our time-of-day-availability settings, but if I were to remove availability for one block of time, would repeat clients still be able to easily rebook their usual walks within that block each week? (There is also the option to only accept repeat clients, of course, but I imagine that would prevent new requests that would be compatible with my available blocks of time, which I'd like to avoid).

Thanks!

As you already know the calendar feature is severely limited and has been a sore point for many sitters. If you removed a time period from your settings it will not stop repeat clients or even new clients from creating a new booking request for your services. However if you set yourself to repeats only you won't show in any search for that service and your current clients can always book you. For your currents if they are weekly you set them up as recurring bookings, it does make life easier for you and the clients.
