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.

The app is questionable quality but gets the job done. Both dog owners and sitters seem to have issues with the app but appreciate that it gives a safe connection between the two. Making calendar changes and editing appointments is confusing, canceling appointments and creating new ones can also be a challenge. Maybe a tutorial would help. I'd like the photos to be higher quality and kept in an album for easier viewing. Also adding videos would be nice as well.

The app idea is amazing. It definitely helps find walkers and clients to walk but the app has some bugs that they don't really see or seem to care about. To start with the feedback option isn't feedback, they send you to the help faq and answers rather than being able to send concerns. Re-scheduling walks on both party sides are immensely difficult when it's a schedule for the next week. You have to keep one walk for that week and it seems to charge customers before hand. - Can't type anymore:(
