Reviewing a pet’s profile before accepting a booking is crucial to understand their behaviour, socialisation status, and specific needs. This helps you prepare for the booking and decide if the pet is a good match for your services.

## **Instructions**


1. **Access the Pet Profile**
   * Log in to your Mad Paws account.
   * Go to the booking request and click on the pet’s name to view their profile.
2. **Navigate to the Basics Tab**
   * In the pet’s profile, locate the **Basics** tab.
   * Check the information provided about the pet’s behaviour, preferences, and socialisation status.
3. **Understand Socialisation Tags**
   * Pets may be tagged with specific behaviours under the following categories:
     * **Dog Socialisation**: Sometimes friendly, never friendly.
     * **Cat Socialisation**: Sometimes friendly, never friendly, not sure.
     * **Child Socialisation**: Nervous, assertive, I don’t know.
4. **Evaluate the Impact of "Anti-Social" Tags**
   * If the pet is tagged as "Anti-Social" in any category, consider how it might affect your ability to care for them, particularly if you have other pets, children, or overlapping bookings.
   * Remember, once the booking is confirmed, your profile will not appear in search results for the booked dates.
5. **Communicate with the Pet Owner**
   * Message the Pet Owner to ask for additional details about the pet’s behaviour and care needs.
   * Clarify expectations and any special arrangements required for the pet’s safety and comfort.
6. **Decide on the Booking**
   * After reviewing the profile and discussing details with the Pet Owner, decide whether the booking aligns with your skills, availability, and environment.
