Challenge

The current design of the Rover app poses significant challenges for pet sitters, as their availability status automatically changes to ‘away’ every few months, and a complex user journey is required to return to ‘active’ status, leading to user frustration and a high risk of abandonment.

The main challenge was to improve user flow to facilitate availability management.

Goal

Create a more intuitive process for pet sitters to update their availability status by adding new features.

Reviewing the site's IA

Before: The website’s IA was dictated by its products rather than the user, therefore the user journey was not direct and clear.

After: I revisited the structure, with the three different types of users in mind, for each type of user to easily find the solution to their problem and any helpful related resources.​
