These guys are lucky that they're basically the only game in town. The app's unintuitive and buggy interface is well-documented in other reviews. As a pet owner, it works well enough for what it is... But if you encounter any form of trouble, things fall apart. The only solve they offer is contacting customer service, which often has a language barrier and can't offer any support other than helping you find another Rover (which isn't much use if the issue is urgent).

Walker since 2019. App can be difficult to navigate. They've done some updates to the app, but no real improvements, just differences. As a customer, they charged me a 7% booking fee, and as a walker, they take 20% of my earnings. VERY strict against freelancing! Will block you from exchanging numbers and threaten to deactivate your account if they even suspect that you're "stealing" clients. Never discuss private prices through the app. Not even over their confidential phonecall 📞 option.

The app gets the job done, but it can be hard to navigate for some clients. The interface with text messaging helps mitigate this struggle. As a sitter, I find the app pretty good. The payment is pretty seamless and I appreciate the statistics they present. I do wish there was an option to select specific times that I'm not available (on specific days and on a reoccurring basis) since this is my most likely reason for refusing requests. An option to make meet and greet a schedulable item also.
