## **FAQs**

* **Can I meet the owner after accepting the booking?**

  *It’s preferable to meet beforehand to make an informed decision about the booking.*
* **What if the owner doesn’t want to meet in person?**

  *Suggest a video call instead, as it can still facilitate a connection and provide insights into the pet's needs.*
* **How many times should I do meet and greet?**

  *Once is usually enough, as long as you feel confident about the first meeting. However, you can choose to do multiple meet-and-greets, especially for longer bookings. For pet hosting, you may also ask the pet owner to visit your home and familiarise the pet with your household.*
