How do I add and share pet expenses?

You can create and/or share a pet expense using any calendar, with the exception of the pet schedule calendar. Pet schedules are for custody schedules and swap day requests only. We specifically created an Expenses & Requests calendar option for users to keep track of expenses and reimbursement requests sent and received if they so choose.  If you do not have an Expenses & Requests calendar in your list of calendars (or another type of calendar you’d like to use to track expenses and requests), go to: How do I add an Expenses & Requests calendar? or How do I add a new calendar?

To create and/or share an expense with a connected or non-connected co-parent or third party, proceed to the instructions below.

Option 1:

1. Select the calendar icon.

2. Select the icon (upper left corner):

3. From your list of calendars, select the “Expenses & Requests” calendar (or the calendar you use to track expenses and reimbursement requests). 

4. Press the orange (+) sign:

5. Select “Expense”:

6. Enter the expense amount and tap the orange arrow button to proceed:

7. Select a category for this expense (e.g. Pet).
*You can create your own categories under “Manage Categories”.

8. Select the pet(s) to whom this expense applies (e.g. Carmen). If this expense does not apply to a petg, skip this step.

The calendar you chose for this expense should be displayed here (e.g. Expenses & Requests). If it’s not, choose the calendar where you want to record this expense.

Optional: If you would like to share this expense with a connected or non-connected co-parent or third party, select “Share with”, and select a circle member, import a contact, or enter their email address. You can share this expense with more than one person.

Tap the orange arrow to proceed.

 9. Add a title and date for this expense.

Optional: Include a memo or attach documentation related to this expense.

*By sharing an expense, you are simply sharing any information about that expense.  To submit an expense for reimbursement, go to: How do I submit an expense for reimbursement?
