New update is awful

I used to love this app however with the new update and Rover Collab the app is now unusable. It is extremely complicated to re-set up my cat sitting account. I am unable to take bookings because of this. The app now looks bland and awful too. Congrats developers.

New format isn’t working well…

This new app update is not working well for me! Change back to how it was!

Terrible overhaul- vibe coded perhaps?

This was an amazing little app, but the April revamp/takeover has absolutely ruined it. The UX is terrible, making it hard to even figure out how to find a sitter as the calendar function is horrific. The new log in is painful, and the whole journey so unintuitive you end up doing the whole thing again and again.

Worse, price visibility is terrible, so you feel like you’re being scammed, and the app now redirects to a Spanish website so perhaps I am. I don’t know who Rover are that took over, but the whole thing is next to useless.

I hope someone has built a better one, I’m off to look.

Change To Rover Is A Mess

Had no idea this merger was happening now the app has had the soul stripped out of it visually and then I missed out on bookings that I wasn’t notified about due to not having it updated. This change should have been communicated properly beforehand. Absolute shambles.

From great to awful

I used this app for the past 3 years and had a positive experience so far.
Until it was acquired by Rover and become some sort of hellish UI with terrible design, no clear messages. I lost all my favourite sitters contact details and a lot already decided to leave the app. The sitters are now also becoming more expensive because the app is not allowing them to keep their usual fees.
Very sad and looking for better alternatives.
