Rover.com

Rover.com is an online marketplace that connects dog and cat owners with pet sitters and dog walkers for booking pet care services, including dog boarding, dog walking, house sitting and doggy day care. Founded in 2011 and headquartered in Seattle, Washington, the company operates in the United States, Canada and Europe, and reports that millions of services have been booked through its platform.

The company's technical work spans three main domains: the online marketplace platform itself, payments technology supporting cashless transactions between pet parents and caregivers, and trust and safety infrastructure underpinning claims protection. Among its products are the Rover Marketplace, Cashless Payments for secure and cashless settlement of services, and the Rover Guarantee, a protection programme that covers eligible claims up to $25,000 in vet care reimbursement.

Rover describes its mission as rooted in the belief that everyone deserves the unconditional love of a pet. For caregivers, the platform is positioned as a way to run an independent pet care business, backed by the tools, security and scale of a global company. Its work sits at the intersection of pet care, pet services and on-demand marketplace commerce.
