Perhaps surprisingly, dog walking platforms like Rover do experience alarming levels of defection (when participants do a side deal and cut out the platform). The dynamic seems to be that you generally take your dog out for a walk at a similar time every day, and this regularity (and comfort with a specific dog walker that you've grown to trust) leads to more frequent defections.
