The concept is good and, when I can find a sitter, it's great! The problem is that the availability thing doesn't work very well. The app will let me send a request to someone for the morning who is available only in afternoons. It would be so much easier for me to find someone if matches by available time windows was a thing

Hi Brooke, we are so sorry for that experience. We do send out regular reminders to sitters to update their availability and their accounts are affected if they do not. We are currently testing more reminder options!

I'm still unable to send pictures and videos to clients through the app on my google pixe from one of the updatesl. This is very frustrating when trying to adhere to client requests for photos and updates. When I click the camera icon it goes to my gallery but none of my photos show up. This has been an issue for over a few months now and no updates to fix it.

It's the best app for finding jobs as a petsitter but I give it a low rating because it takes not only a fee from everything the sitter makes through the app but also a fee from the owners. They are double dipping and don't really offer anything for the amount of money they take.
