Little surprise in the fine print, but service saved it
Little surprise in the fine print, but service saved it
PriceI was mid-scroll one evening, checking my public profile like I always do, and something didn't sit right. It was one of those tiny nagging thoughts that starts small and then won't let you go. My profile showed one price to clients. My account settings showed something slightly different. I shrugged at first. Then I did the math. And well, that's how the whole thing started.

PriceI just tried the dog walking service for the first time and had a really good experience with the walker. She was awesome with my dog and I would totally hire her again. But, I was pretty surprised to find out there were extra charges on top of the price they showed. The app didn't mention anything about these costs, and it ended up costing me a lot more than I expected.
