Using it as a sitter and not having many problems aside that when I state I don't have availability, owners can still request a service... and the fact that the owner fee is apparently not very clear. I have had several people who just backed away from the total price in the end (while I live in a low rate area...and kennels would charge far more) so that needs to be really clear in my opinion.

Latest update is not working very well. not tracking mileage, new format is hard to work with, can't update note. also, find it annoying that you can't do some things in the app versus the desktop and vice versa, such as archiving , modifying dates and a long list of features that would be really good to have. not tracking mileage is really bad though!

Works fine, if you NEVER, EVER have to change a booking. *Cue sarcasm.* Because we all know that dealing with animals things always go smoothly & never need to be changed. Like skipping one day on a recurring walk due to a vet appointment. The app will let you cancel a walk then it just pops right back up. & according to support you can't change it until the week of. & heaven forbid if you need to add a day or change a time. My Calender app on my phone has better function.
