The app constantly loses connection, doesn't create rover cards, or freezes up. The company itself blames the customer, provides very little security or access as the sitter, automatically closes out and removes full access or view to late night walks or drop ins. The customer service always has a comprehensive stall and there's no phone number for sitters to call for assistance leaving little for accessibility to the disabled and further confusion of simple situations.

This app looks like it was designed by an inexperienced developer, learning on the job and the UI/UX designer / team I feel I traveled back in time with little digital design capabilities. I have an account used my husbands number I lost access to and my husbands number is unusable, cant both be on the app now, if you actually helped me delete that account link review will go up... If you want an amazing designer for user friendliness, ease of use, designed with simplistic beauty (my husband)

2 stars because it does enough but this app is so terrible. It's half displaying an experience for dog sitters and half for a client. It's glitchy and slow. It's hard to make settings changes. And when I forgot my password, it locked me out for 24 hours so I couldn't message my sitter. For a company that has been around for so long and makes a bunch of money off of sitters, there's no excuse for it to be this bad.
