Ratings and reviews

A great app for finding dog sitters. However, I am only interested in finding a sitter who already owns a dog. Please could you add this as a filter? It would make my searching so much more pleasant and easier. Please could you allow sorting of the list by distance. I know this can be done on the map, but I find it easier working with the list. Added note: It would also be useful for me to add digsitters to a Favourites/Wishlist and then to be able to view just those that are my Favourites

I've been using Rover for 6 years now. I had issues with the GPS 3 years ago and it got a little better. But now I'm constantly having to uninstall and reinstall because it won't let me add a photo. Then it will freeze. It is very inconvenient for someone who is trying to make the most out of their time during the day. I have to spend 5-10 extra mins at the end of each visit trying to get the app to work and that usually puts me behind schedule.

Bad. I had a client request and rover is not only charging them a large booking fee but it also takes about 10% of your overall payment too so they take money from both sides!!! Ultimately because of the large service fee and the overall cost of the booking (which they were fine with my prices) just the additional fee w rover they decided to go off site. Terrible app to use for booking. You can't even send them your number to Alternatively do it privately instead. Going to use a different app.
