I really do not like how the note function has been changed during the most recent update. I can no longer write separate paragraphs in the field intended for this. Also, the spelling and grammar check function doesn't want to actually work in this field, either. I know not all of your sitters use this function, but I most certainly do. I much rather would've had a timer added to the screen for the bookings in progress and to your progress bar than this UI change.

As a sitter, it's only okay at best. 20% is a huge cut for a service most already can't charge a truly fair rate for. There's also no way to upcharge for more complicated cases. My biggest complaint has to be that Rover keeps changing my rates. I've gone in and changed each individual option, yet I'll receive a request for one that's at a rate lower than what I selected, and of course, the owner wants that rate so I honor it and change it again, hoping it will actually stay at the rates I set.

As a sitter, I love this app. Doggie owners can view my profile and reviews and set up a meet & greet before deciding to use my services. The photo & video functions are built into the app also, so I don't have to use up my phone's memory to send up pics to the owners. Another great feature is the support available to sitters if there is any problem; the staff is very responsive and helpful. Overall, it's the best pet sitting app I've used. Highly recommend.
