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.

Great to have Rover to refer awesome pet sitters when family and friends aren't available. You see sitter's reviews and number of repeat customers. You control which sitter(s) see your request invitation. it's a great option and I'm glad to be referred to it. I got a great sitter on very short notice. I've already used her again. The app itself could be a little smoother and better. The text editor is pretty bad. a couple of other small quirks but very usable.

I use Rover very often as I'm a dog walker/boarder. I keep the app up to date as often as I can, so with the most recent update I'm having issues with the 'Rover Card' for dog walking. I don't know why you changed the format for it but it's no longer logging distance walked even though the map is there. Uploading a picture or using my camera directly to take a picture of the dog I'm walking doesn't work until I have tried multiple times. Please change it back to how it was before.
