This is a big release. In this release the way in which you book appointments with your pet sitter has been overhauled! Now when you go to book an appointment it’s a lot easier. - Only shows you dates and times you can pick based on your pet sitter’s availability, service, and service length. - More clearly pick multiple times for the same date. - Easily book multiple dates at once. - Easily pick a start and end date for pet sittings on a calendar. - Removed the confusing additional services option. - Removed the repeat option. If you’d like a long term repeat then that is best worked out with your pet sitter directly. ALSO, a huge Home Tab redesign! - Shows you the walk route in realtime as your pet sitter walks it. You can watch their little pic sure move across the map. - Watch map updates appear as they are added by your pet sitter. - Makes it really easy to check if you have any unpaid invoices or unread updates. - Book an appointment right from the new “Book” button on the Home Tab. - A much more stable and solid design that bette handles all of the different states this tab can find itself it.
