User Reviews

Users repeatedly report that Mad Paws on Android often works poorly. The service concept and ability to quickly find sitters is praised, but the app itself suffers from persistent bugs, unstable searches, and a difficult booking experience. Reviewers cite broken filtering, location-based search failures, and calendar/price glitches. Pricing transparency is a major gripe, with high or undisclosed fees and dynamic pricing causing surprise charges. Communication is unreliable—sitters may ghost or spam messages, and notifications can fail or be inconsistent. Profile updates and account management are also problem-prone, with limited options and slow support.

Pros

Helps users quickly find sitters when needed.
The concept is solid and the service is good when the app functions.
Generally easy and safe to use when it works.

Cons

Android app is repeatedly buggy and unstable (crashes, 'forbidden' or 404 errors, calendar/date issues, posting requests).
Search/discovery is broken or limited (filters don't work, can't sort by distance, results are too broad or location-mismatched).
Pricing and fees are opaque and inflated (high booking fees, dynamic pricing payouts miscalculated, undisclosed charges until checkout).
Communication/notifications are unreliable and spammy (sitters ghosting, random messages, inconsistent notifications).
Profile/account management is hard or blocked (can't update profile, missing options, slow/ineffective support or verification delays).

Recent reviews

People on the app - Great. BUT - This app is ABSOLUTE TRASH. I have to CONSTANTLY CLEAR MY DATA AND CACHE for it to work. I have to do it multiple times in one day to communicate with hosts or view photos/profiles. So as you can imagine, highly frustrating, glitchy and stupid. IT need to fix this asap or fire them!

gets the job done but pretty glitchy. it's hard to rebook sitters I have used in the past, and availability doesn't always show up correct.

cannot update my profile (my address location or anything) - cannot change from pet sitter to needing a pet minder. "profile" page is having technical issues.
