I found out about Rover from a friend. When I went on your website, I was able to find a person who matched my needs within just a few minutes. But I find the amount of communications process to be a bit tedious and the payment process vague. Perhaps I'm somewhat to blame being new to Rover. But if you get other similar comments you might want to review these aspects further.

Sitter was amazing. All sitters on Rover in general are a little high priced. The sitters in our dog fostering group are definitely more affordable, always have been.

The sitters are amazing. I am disappointed with all the add on fees Rover takes to make it so expensive. They charge the pet owner a fee when booking and also take part of the money the sitter receives. Seems excessive for basically maintaining a website.

System is really great though I think it needs a way that people can see how many pets a sitter has contracted to watch during at time. As in we had to do a last minute replacement sitter because we found out the sitter had agreed to watch what we considered to be to many animals. If that makes since because the app didn't tell us how many animals they had agreed to watch

Kat was very attentive to Miss Kitty and kept me updated while I was gone. She warned up to Kat by the second day.
