### 5/5 — My clients love this app!

*2026-04-05*

This app is genuinely one of the best tools a pet owner can have alongside a pet sitter.
It keeps you fully in the loop with updates on how your pet is doing, including personalised notes, photos, and even GPS tracking for walks. It covers pretty much everything you’d want as an owner, all in one place.
As someone with pets myself, I know how stressful it can be leaving them with someone new. This app makes the whole experience feel a lot more reassuring and transparent. Honestly, it’s spot on 💙
Thank you!!!

### 1/5 — Downloading

*2026-03-21*

Having a problem opening the app after downloading. I have an iPhone 11 and I also have the Walkies petsitter app. I like to make a fake profile just to see what my clients see. But the client app won’t load at all. It worked two weeks ago but now not at all. I also had a client say she wasn’t getting notifications from the app either.

**Developer response:** Hi there, contact me via support in the pet sitter app and we can get this sorted out.

### 1/5 — Broken onboarding

*2026-02-25*

Unable to connect my account to my dog via the link. Unable to delete my account to retry. Buggy and broken onboarding experience for me

**Developer response:** Hi there, sorry to hear this, if you can reach out to support I can look into getting this fixed. Often VPNs or ad blockers can stop the connect link from working.

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2025-09-09*

Julia is beyond amazing w my boy Charlie !!  I couldn’t have expected such great treatment to my boy !! She sends me so many pictures and such detailed notes on his walk !! All his pictures he’s smiling and he’s so excited to see her !! I love that he’s so happy being w her I would highly recommend her to anyone who needs care for their pets !!

### 5/5 — Doodle Walkies

*2025-03-12*

A big thanks to Angelina for taking care of my furbabies and felines. They immediately took to her. They loved their walks and their cuddles. Angelina sent a report of her visit and photos of their walk.

### 3/5 — Glitching

*2025-03-04*

It was working fine at first but now it won’t open

**Developer response:** Hi there! Please can you message me via in app support and I’ll fix things 🙂

### 5/5 — Checking in with my puppy

*2025-01-21*

Makes me comfortable leaving her. Nice to have one place for billing, appointments and announcements.

### 5/5 — Best dog walker ever!

*2024-08-13*

Chelsea is so dependable and did everything she said she would do and beyond.  It is a rarity to find someone to trust in your home and with our babies but Chelse has earned our trust.  Chelsea will be our dog walker into the future as long as she will have us.  5 star service all the way!

**Developer response:** Hi there! You've actually left an app review and not a pet sitter review but I'll make sure Chelsea gets it. 🙂

### 3/5 — Love but needs a bug fix

*2024-04-14*

Love this app but keep getting kicked out when I try and book an appointment. I was doing a test run as a client.

**Developer response:** Hi there! Please can you contact me via in app support and we can get this fixed 🙂

### 5/5 — Great app

*2023-11-22*

I love this app, easy to use for booking and viewing activity. One suggestion I have is the option to use a ‘like’ or emoji etc to respond to our dog walkers pictures and daily updates.

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for the great review 🙂. Being able to react to pictures, videos, and more is on the todo list. It will probably be added once I have completed the Android apps and new website. Please contact me in app via support in settings if you have anymore ideas. 🙂
