Ratings and reviews

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.

Pluses : Efficient, user friendly, fast messaging. Minus : I would prefer to be able to have multiple addresses so I could be invited for jobs in different locations in the country. Currently this option is not available, so pet sitters can be hired only in their local area (makes sense if you have a fixed home base) but if you're travelling, no so convenient. However, profile address can be updated very easily and quickly

This is a great service. Some of the site's functionality could be a bit more intuitive. Messages between owners and sitters are grouped by booking which makes it a little confusing if you're making multiple bookings with the same person. But it works and I've managed to find a very good sitter who provides a better service than a kennel for less money.
