What workers rate the app

The rating of the app workers use — never the customer app. Each store is its own witness; we show both and never average them. The count is what makes a score mean something. Click a listing to see the number as it stands today.

Apple App Store
Rover – Pet Sitters4.9 from 515,787 ratings — reported, not confirmed · checked 2026-09-02
Google Play
Rover – Pet Sitters4.5 from 47.3K reviews — reported, not confirmed · checked 2026-09-02

One app serves both workers and customers here, so this rating blends both populations.

Every claim on this card, traced — 11 claims:

How you get in read from the company's own page
Record evidence_source 'Site', reviewed in the 2026-08-11 door-provenance audit and classified as the provider's own property
How you get paid unproven — carried from an older research method and not yet re-read from a source
Inherited at the v8 migration from the record's evidence class (Verified-official). This claim does not yet say where IT came from; the record does.
Local operating status derived from our own coverage research, not from the company's words
mktcle-reclass (owner ruling 2026-08-26): STRUCTURALLY UNSOURCEABLE from provider property — companies do not state their metro lists, so no re-fetch can ever pay this claim. Reclassified out of the owed pile into the declared class: derived from our own coverage research, not from the company's words.

What workers rate the app reported by someone else — not the company's words
