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.

Thank you for reverting back the rover cards to how it was. I did like the new UI with the timer in the card. It was just the notes part that didn't work correctly. Auto correct wouldn't work, and it wouldn't let me create a new line, so I just had a wall of text to my clients. I had a workaround by using my notes app and copy pasting across onto rover notes, but obviously, that wasn't ideal.

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.
