Not Available Dates
What does this policy do?
Block specific dates when you cannot take boarding, daycare or Meet & Greet bookings. These dates are shown as unavailable to clients — they cannot book a stay or a day that overlaps with a blocked date. Home visits follow this list too unless you have saved your own Visits Unavailable Dates, which then decide on their own. A one-off dog walk is not blocked by a date here — walking has its own Dog Walking Unavailable Dates — but the monthly repeat fill skips a closed date for every service, walks included. Use this for holidays, personal time, facility maintenance, etc.
How it works

Tips
Block your holiday dates well in advance so clients can plan around them.
Different from bank holidays — a Closed Date takes no boarding, daycare or Meet & Greet bookings at all (bank holidays only change the price).
To close a day for one-off dog walks, use Dog Walking Unavailable Dates; to give home visits their own list, save Visits Unavailable Dates.
Consider using this alongside daycare restrictions for fine-grained availability control.
