Forgot the user

Agree with recent reviewers the updates have ruined a simple interface (as well as in increasing charges), the actual sitters remains good but not rating that here

Terrible since changing

Does anyone know of other good cat sitting apps? Can see from the reviews that we’re all finding the updated app a nightmare to use (it’s impossible I think to find your usual sitter and look at a calendar of dates and prices, and is just wildly unintuitive) so keen to find alternatives!

And to add, now clicking ‘cancel’ doesn’t actually do anything… so having to contact customer services and hope they manually cancel it before I’m charged 🤦🏻‍♀️

Awful new app

The new app is absolutely horrible, looks like old app, no UX experience at all.

I needed a cat sitter for a few days twice per day and with the new app version is imposible aside of very expensive.

The previous one was simple, easy and visually nice.

I removed the app because I won’t use cat in a flat anymore.

Lost all its stars since the merge !

Was a great app before merging with rover , easy to use and understand when sitters had availability at a quick look at their calendar.
Now it keeps logging me out so I could miss a message.
Overly complicated and messy app. No need to change it at all.

terrible experience as a sitter since the rover merge:(

Honestly really disappointed with the move. My regular now struggle to find me and the new app doesn’t prioritise via actual distance. I get absolutely drowned out by the pre-existing users of the app, thus I have not received any new requests since the merge. I imagine it would be very difficult for anyone whose trying to register as a new sitter for rover. All in all i’m just sad this change was made
