Very buggy but has its uses. Some functions just don't work - you can try reinstalling and all the usual but some buttons don't do anything and menu items are missing. Lots of search filters depending on your needs but there are a few missing that would make it even better. Overall good but could be great.

It's the best app for finding jobs as a petsitter but I give it a low rating because it takes not only a fee from everything the sitter makes through the app but also a fee from the owners. They are double dipping and don't really offer anything for the amount of money they take.

Bad. I had a client request and rover is not only charging them a large booking fee but it also takes about 10% of your overall payment too so they take money from both sides!!! Ultimately because of the large service fee and the overall cost of the booking (which they were fine with my prices) just the additional fee w rover they decided to go off site. Terrible app to use for booking. You can't even send them your number to Alternatively do it privately instead. Going to use a different app.
