Way too invasive
How much information do you think is reasonable to provide in order to find a dog walker?? Would you like my inner thigh measurements too? Wouldn't recommend. They've emailed me a guide to 'unsubscribe from emails' and there's no option to do so anywhere. Also, Liverpool is nowhere near Wales, why on earth would a dog walker in Liverpool be my first choice? What a fiasco all to just find a dog walker. AVOID.

Intrusive use of my contact details
I answered the phone and was told the lady was calling from Bark. I was just going out and said to ring back. Instead I received a couple of emails saying someone was interested in the job I was enquiring about. In order to view on line I’d had to register phone and email address. My mistake. I viewed a couple of potential trades, but did NOT request a quote and the people who emailed were me were not ones I had viewed. This was intrusive and I will not go near Bark again anytime soon.

Relentless spam
Used once to make a basic enquiry and received the most spam calls, texts and emails than I have ever received in my life. It was relentless.
The unsubscribe button doesn’t work and I have blocked all the email and numbers so far and yet still they come.
It’s just not worth it.
Avoid.
