I'm still unable to send pictures and videos to clients through the app on my google pixe from one of the updatesl. This is very frustrating when trying to adhere to client requests for photos and updates. When I click the camera icon it goes to my gallery but none of my photos show up. This has been an issue for over a few months now and no updates to fix it.

A great way to connect with clients! Easy to detail your services, and being able to stay in contact with past/potential clients. I have come across some people who never replied after they initially made the first contact with me. I talked about meeting up, so it would be nice if they had a few notifications on their end, reminding them that they contacted a sitter they were requesting.

App keeps crashing to where I have to restart my phone. Had to use my laptop to access the website and spent way too long finding my old login credentials. Then my booking request was sent to additional sitters that I hadn't noticed Rover was pre-selecting for me. I immediately cancelled, I just really hope it does not end up reflecting poorly on the sitters. I've used Rover for a few years and had a good experience with the app, but recently it has been frustrating and time consuming
