I agree completely. I used rover.com once to find a pet sitter and found a great one. I don't need it anymore.
Furthermore, they're doing the typical thing that businesses resort to when they're desperate. They're asking you to review every single damn time you use their service. (I had the same sitter for 30 weeks in a row. Clearly I like her or I'd use someone different. Stop bugging me!)
They also try to steer you towards using their service more when there's no need for it. Every time I book a stay, they want me to look into other pet sitters on their site. Why would I do that? I'm completely happy with the one I found. If I ever need a change because I move or the sitter moves, or we have a falling out, I'll consider looking for a new one. Until then, get out of my face!
And on top of it, they're trying to push services I don't need. I never want someone to come to my house to walk my dog. I don't need strangers coming by my house. And I need an overnight maybe 3 times a year. (And I'll continue to use the day sitter I have as they also do overnights.) It's almost impossible to find a day sitter on rover.com, and they seem to be pushing everything but that.
Their whole model seems like it's living on borrowed time to me.
