Ratings and reviews

If the booking on the day would be possible to arrange in the order that's the most convenient to get to them, that be good, also now need to wait past midnight to see the bookings for the next day. If the home/day view of work moved swiping sideways maybe 3 days ahead. I write everything on pocket calendar too, but I'd be easier to see them here quickly, thanks!

Too many bugs in the sign up process! everytime i attempt a new step on the sign up for the Sitter services, the app crashes. Plus, when I've attempted to upload multiple scanned official documents (not even photos!!) they reject them based on glare - there is no glare! its a scan! I'm really frustrated. its a really good idea for an app but bad execution.

Dog Buddy was a much more user friendly app. Since it has been absorbed by Rover you can't see if messages have been read, and trying to find the right conversation with a sitter is nearly impossible as it creates a new one every time you request a booking, and then another new one when it is confirmed and happening. Also when searching for someone to dog sit, the app also shows people who only do walks and not sitting which is very annoying as there is no was to filter them out.

Rover is always working on performance improvements and bug fixes (nobody likes fleas) to keep your experience bright-eyed and bushy-tailed.
