About

Rover Group, Inc. operates as the world's largest online marketplace for pet care, connecting pet parents with a vast network of pet sitters and dog walkers. Founded in 2011 and headquartered in Seattle, Washington, Rover's mission is to make it easier for everyone to experience the unconditional love of a pet. The platform and its associated mobile applications facilitate a range of services, including pet sitting, dog walking, dog boarding, doggy day care, and drop-in visits. Rover aims to remove common obstacles to pet ownership by providing reliable and accessible pet care solutions. The company empowers a community of trusted pet care providers to run their own businesses on the Rover platform, equipping them with tools, support, and the security of a global company. Service providers on Rover undergo a review process, and many services booked through the platform are covered by the Rover Guarantee, which includes 24/7 support and vet assistance. Pet parents can browse profiles, read verified reviews, and communicate with potential sitters to find the perfect match for their pets' needs. Rover emphasizes creating a safe and trustworthy environment for both pet owners and service providers, facilitating millions of services booked across the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, and Europe. In early 2024, Rover was acquired by Blackstone, marking a new chapter in its efforts to expand its services and reach.
