The app (and website) has so much potential but just not finding it very user friendly. I got the app hoping it would be easier to use than the website but sadly not. Both app and website could use some input from users to improve the functionality and flow of the service. However the look and over all feel is what brought this from 2 stars to 3 stars

Good app for finding local pet sitters. However, I do think the cut they take from the sitter's payment is much too high - 19 percent! And, what's offered in return is a rather rudimentary designed app, and a Pawshake guarantee to cover veterinary expenses, but only up to a certain amount, should an accident occur. Which, I believe, is hardly ever needed. Not much incentive to keep using it, when close to 20% is taken out, after taxes not much left :/ Perhaps sitters that are booked more should receive a lower rate.

Hi Amelia, thanks for your great feedback! The Pawshake contribution is used also for marketing so that new owners can reach you and to keep our support team operative 24/7. The insurance coverage is evaluated case by case, and we offer other guarantees.

Great app. One suggestion is to make it easier to add on extra services and for owners to add extras so the walker/sitter can view and decide whether to accept. We've had a couple of sessions where we agreed to hour long walks for some days and it was very difficult to make those additions and took a lot of time to figure out.
