Rover

Rover Group, Inc., founded in 2011 and headquartered in Seattle, Washington, operates an online marketplace connecting pet owners with a vast network of pet care providers. The platform offers a variety of services, including dog boarding, in-home pet sitting, doggy daycare, dog walking, drop-in visits, grooming, and training.

By 2022, Rover reported revenues of $174 million, reflecting its significant presence in the pet care industry.

In March 2017, Rover expanded its reach by acquiring DogVacay, combining their services and increasing their market share. The company further broadened its European footprint by acquiring DogBuddy in October 2018, enhancing its presence across the UK, France, Italy, Germany, and other EU countries.

In November 2023, Rover was acquired by Blackstone Group for $2.3 billion, transitioning from a publicly traded company to a privately held entity.

Rover's services are accessible through its website and mobile app, allowing pet owners to discover, book, and manage personalized care for their pets. The platform aims to simplify pet ownership by connecting pet parents with trusted and loving pet care providers.
