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.

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.

I've been using Rover for 6 years now. I had issues with the GPS 3 years ago and it got a little better. But now I'm constantly having to uninstall and reinstall because it won't let me add a photo. Then it will freeze. It is very inconvenient for someone who is trying to make the most out of their time during the day. I have to spend 5-10 extra mins at the end of each visit trying to get the app to work and that usually puts me behind schedule.
