Pet sitter cancellations with no backup on travel dates

Pet owners book sitters weeks in advance, then experience last-minute cancellations (illness, emergency, unavailability) with no alternative arrangements possible since travel dates are fixed. Existing platforms lack automatic backup sitter matching or cancellation insurance, leaving owners frantically searching during critical departure windows.
