Ratings and reviews

I like Rover as a sitter. It makes it easier for me to make clients. However, ever since they switched to Stripe, my payment can be delayed well past the 48 hours for processing. With PayPal, I was able to get my payment on the weekend or holiday, and now I have to wait after the weekend and/or holiday. It is very frustrating, I do not like the new payment method at all.

Close to being 5 stars. As a dog sitter for the last several months I've been using this app more often than using my PC. The app is generally good. Sometimes it does seem to hang. I'm on wifi, sitting right next to my router, with max signal strength, and the screen just seems to hang for anywhere between 4-15 seconds. Usually when hitting the inbox link. I've also had issues accessing my picture gallery and had to force stop the app and let it reload so that choosing a picture would work
