How to cancel or reschedule a booking

You can cancel or reschedule from your client account up to the pro's cancellation window. After that, the pro's policy applies.

3 min read·Updated April 15, 2026·For clients

Each pro sets their own cancellation window — most are 24 hours before the booking, some are 48 or 72 for higher-effort jobs. The window is shown on the booking confirmation and on the pro's profile.

Cancel a booking

  1. 1
    Open your bookings
    Account → Bookings, then tap the booking.
  2. 2
    Tap Cancel booking
    We show the refund amount upfront based on the pro's policy and the time remaining.
  3. 3
    Confirm
    We'll email both you and the pro. Refunds appear in 3-5 business days.

Reschedule instead

Rescheduling within the cancellation window is free. After the window, the pro can still accept a reschedule but may apply a partial fee.

Emergencies
If something serious comes up, message your pro first. Most are flexible when you give them notice.
