Rover is an online platform that connects pet owners with trusted pet care providers, offering services such as boarding, house sitting, dog walking, doggy daycare, drop-in visits and virtual dog training through GoodPup. Using its proprietary technology, Rover allows users to search for local sitters, read verified reviews, book and pay securely, and receive real-time updates via the app or website. With RoverProtect, the platform ensures safety through vetted sitters, reservation protection and 24/7 support, including coverage for eligible veterinary care. Rover operates globally, serving users in the US, Canada, and Europe.
In October 2018, Rover acquired DogBuddy, a UK-based dog walking, boarding, and daycare company, to expand its presence in the UK, France, Italy, Germany, and several other EU countries.
