Love the app but the last update has issues
jkwbmom
My issue with the app is in this last update jt added a “bookings” tab and ever since then it has had a constant red dot next to bookings and a one on my homepage on the app indicating I have a message! I have gone through multiple times and do not have any new messages or bookings. I have uninstalled the app, I have turned off my phone and turned it back on, I have updated my entire phones system and still it remains. I’m worried about missing messages from my bookings. Please help!
overall ?? a good way to make money

Over all i love the rover app.It’s a easy way to make money on the side. but the new update with stripe is kind of making it difficult. i was wondering why they decided to change it from PayPal to stripe. I hope they do see this message.
Great and quick service

We have been using Rover for over year now and have been overall very satisfied with the services
No accountability when Rover backs out

On 3 separate occasions I have booked a Rover well in advance of a trip, only to have the sitter back out at the very last minute. Yes, Rover refunds your money, but then you’re left scrambling with no sitter 24-48 hours before your flight/trip and they do nothing to remedy this.
Best App for Dog Lovers

Super happy with this app and company. Love that I can take my dog anywhere with me and find caring people to watch him. Really appreciate you all!
Lies!!!!

So on my dogs profile I put that he doesn’t not get along with cats or other small dogs! When I booked with them I made sure I put all that information on my dogs profile! Along with the filters for having a fenced yard and no pets in the home! When we had dropped off my dogs the person in charge said she had puppies I told her do you want us to have our meet them first and she said no, I can have my husband do it later with me. I asked her if she had any training in greeting dogs together she told me yes. On top of that lie she said nothing about having a cat in the home. I told her my dog is a Alfa dog and does not get along with cats or small dogs that we have to make sure they get along. But she said she would have them separate. The following afternoon I get a phone call saying my dog attacked her cat! I told her you never told me you had a cat nor did it say it on your profile. I have screen shot I sent them of her lying about having any other pets in the home! And also showed them screenshots of my dogs profile showing he does not get along with cats. But they didn’t care that the person watching my dogs lied to make money! They closed my account and probably still has her lies up! Watch out for who watches your dogs on this app! Clearly they don’t care about safety or the fact that she lied! No matter what precautions you take for your pet their is always away for people to lie!!!!
Best App for Dog sitting!!

I’ve been able to connect with so many people and dogs, and I’ve just had a lot of fun with Rover and my experience with it.
Needs the emphasis on the client experience.

I’m visiting Tampa and wanted to find a sitter so I could attend a hockey game. I contacted two people who the app said was confirmed available and neither was. I decided I didn’t need the frustration and deleted the app. If the app had an option for me to describe the service I needed and let the providers bid for my business then it could be awesome.

I would prefer the calendar to be editable and voice notes to be activated.
