Rover Customer Insights

1. Though the system is set up to send out quick messages to remind users of its terms of service at any suspect of work being done around the app, they are very slow to respond to concerns brought up through customer service and is difficult to access.

2. Also keep getting annoying updates to update my profile and calendar.I'm happy this service exists but this is one of the worst experiences I've ever had.

3. Service is great, customer support is great, but the app itself is not user friendly.

4. Very difficult to resolve issues or even contact customer service directly with any issues.

5. No weekly or monthly rates.The calender update is confusing, its hard to make sure my availability is what I want it to be, before the colors would show availability and it was much easier.

6. It's hard to get back to search results, the inbox is divided by purpose instead of most recent messaged being first, and don't even ask me how to change a password because apparently it's not possible even when security risks are present.

7. Literally such a frustrating app design, I hate it.I find this service leaves a lot be desired.

8. Customer service is hard to reach out to and get responses from.

9. Very expensive and a lot of unreliable walkers and with no accountability for their terrible service.

10. It shouldn't be so labor intensive to find a walker.I'm a sitter and I signed up using my Facebook account.

11. I don't want to create a new account after going through the whole application process and already submitting for a background check.
