Rover Group, Inc. is an American company headquartered in Seattle that operates an online marketplace for people to buy and sell pet care services including pet sitting, dog boarding, and dog walking. Founded in 2011, the Rover app and website connect dog and cat parents with loving pet sitters and dog walkers in neighborhoods across the United Sta... tes, Canada, and Europe. With Rover, users can discover loving pet care services in their neighborhood including pet boarding, house sitting, dog walking, drop-in visits, doggy day care, and dog training. The platform empowers a community of trusted pet sitters and dog walkers to run their own pet care businesses on Rover with the tools and security of a global company to back them. Rover promotes safe experiences by requiring all pet care providers joining the community to pass a background check, and every booking includes reservation protection, twenty-four seven support, and the Rover Guarantee. Rover became a publicly traded company via a special-purpose acquisition company in August 2021, and in November 2023, Blackstone announced it would acquire Rover for two point three billion dollars, with the acquisition completed in February 2024.Read More
