Ratings and reviews

Like many others, I've been forced to use this app since they bought out Cat In A Flat. It's very clearly not geared towards cats and cat sitting services, the fees are extortionate and very unclear (plus, not worth the support they supposedly pay for), the interface is not user-friendly at all, and communication about this "merger" has been appalling. Some regulars have already asked me to move off the app because of how unclear and confusing everything is... Congrats!! 👏

Forced to use this app as an alternative to cat in a flat. I can no longer quickly view my inbox with ease and see dates and earnings of bookings as an overview. Now I have to sift through 100 conversations to find the booking. USELESS! Prices are much higher and charge per cat on top of visit with an extra random charge for clients. Greedy and rubbish changes. At least change the layout back for the sitters.

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
