Is there a way to prevent day care requests when I am booked for boarding?

I've tried to set up my account to reflect that I can only take one dog at a time, as I have a very small apartment and am not physically able to keep up with the demands of more than one (minus the occasional pickup/dropoff overlap). I've been getting doggy day care requests for days I'm already booked for boarding, and thus have to constantly double-check my availability only to turn them down. While I don't want to have to turn off doggy day care availability entirely, it doesn't look like there's any other option in the account settings. I would really appreciate a way to have my calendar reflect that I'm not available on days I'm booked for one service or the other.

I'm also a single client sitter, and yes, it's a pain having to constantly adjust the calendar. My routine now is that when a booking is finalized, I go in right then and there and take availability off for other services.

FWIW I don't have a daycare clientele, only have done a request here and there. Don't really don't want it, I just use it as a space filler. A booked daycare day can mean a multi-day boarding loss. On my profile I show that I do daycare as a last minute request only, based on availability. So far so good :)

I do that too! It seems to be the most efficient as it's part of my process even though it's a bit of a pain. Luckily I take more than one client so I have a bit more leeway.

What you have requested just isn't available with the current calendar options. If you have a boarder all you can do is manually adjust your calendar to zero for daycare for the days of the board booking. Best of luck
