    DOES NOT WORK — App is slow , doesn’t add anything to my cart and always logs me out

    Log In Issue — After multiple purchase attempts, I had to use a browser to buy something. I tried reinstalling the app. I tried logging out and back in to my account. Now the app won’t log into my account at all. Browser login still works fine.

    Let Us Memorialize Our Family — One star only for the utter lack of compassion. I can't believe how insensitive an otherwise great veterinary app is. After she passed 2 days ago, my furbaby was scrubbed from the app before I could even log in 3 hours later on the same day. Like, her ashes aren't even ready to be picked up yet as I'm writing this review! A bit harsh, don't you think? Automatical

    App used to be great — Recent updates removed the ability to use the animals under your profile for grooming appointment requests. I absolutely refuse to enter all of that information for each dog each time. There is also no easily found way to contact them about it the app, only the website. Fix that and I’ll update my review.

    Money-Making Model at the Expense of Sitters — TrustedHousesitters presents itself as a pet-sitting exchange, but sitters often take on extensive responsibilities, pet care, cleaning, plants, mail, and more, while receiving no compensation or tips and now paying both membership and booking fees. In my experience over 1½ years, customer support has been consistently disappointing. When issues aros

  • Pawp: 24/7 Vet & Pet Care1star· Jul 19, 2026

    Do Not Sign Up! — I am traveling and my dog has a very minor health issue. I thought PAWP was a virtual vet service that could give me a prescription to a medicine we used before. Nope! I called in a Sunday and it took almost 30 minutes to reach a live person via chat. Then, come to find out, no vet was available on the weekend. Wait, what?!? Then, finally, there is no way to speak with a

    Application bugs — My phone is overheating when I use this app to browse (iPhone, both iOS and app are updated). I add few products to the cart, continue shopping, feel the phone overheating, get a white screen (green border at the top so I am still in the app), and it freezes there. I close and reopen the app but my cart is now gone. I am logged on to my account. It takes a special skill to activ

  • PetSmart1star· Aug 28, 2026

    Completely Unuseable — I have used the petsmart app for a few years and it is alright for most things. Recently, however, I have been completely unable to add items to my cart, change quantities of things in my cart, or add a new payment method without the entire app crashing. I have been unable to order anything. Extremely frustrating.

How this is counted

These apps are what the App Store returns for pet care tips, not the apps we happened to already hold. Every percentage is counted over the 1,175 negative reviews those apps have between them, by the same frozen classifier the rest of the site uses. A review can mention more than one theme, so the shares sum past 100%.
