Ratings and reviews

I'm a pet sitter through Mad Paws and have had a lot of success using the app, so instead of giving it a 5/5, I've given a 3/5 due to 2 major bugs that've been there for months. 1. Every time I try to upload some photos, it never works and 2. Whenever I swipe to archive a conversation, it never actually archives. Please fix these for better user experience.

The Messages tab in the Android phone app doesn't allow me to click to the profile of any sitter I message. Neither phone not website search accommodates filtering sitters by price or by availability by time of day.

A great idea and good service let down by an extremely poor app and website. I am forever giving up on making a booking due to usability issues when searching for and messaging potential sitters. Right now just gave up because after filling in the form to contact a sitter (and having to reword my message multiple times to meet the 500 character limit!), when I click the final button to message them, nothing happens! No error message, no confirmation, nothing! SO FRUSTRATING!!
