Our take
Rover.com connects pet parents with the nation’s largest network of loving and trustworthy pet sitters and dog walkers. Through Rover, pet parents can discover, book, and manage personalised care for their dogs, including pet sitting, dog walking, in-home dog boarding, and doggy day care.
Rover has fundamentally changed the U.S pet services industry, a market which is worth $10+ billion, by improving the way pet owners find and book pet care. Rover’s app is now the most downloaded and best-reviewed dog walking and pet sitting app in North America.
Although they hit a very rough patch during the pandemic, the company's successful bounce-back has led it to a successful IPO and significant growth even after. Pet spending is on the rise and Rover seems perfectly positioned to ride the wave right along.
