History

Established in 2011.

Established in 2011, Rover​.com was founded on the idea that dogs deserve a safe, loving home while their owners are away. The idea for Rover was inspired by founder Greg Gottesman’s own experience. Following an expensive stay at a kennel, Greg’s lab, Ruby Tuesday, came home injured. Greg knew there had to be a better way to care for his dog when his family traveled and came up with Rover. The idea won 1^st prize at Seattle Start-​up Weekend and just like that, the company was born.

Hosts, sitters, and dog walkers in the Rover Dog Boarding Community are in control of their own business. Rover dog sitters set their own rates, manage their own schedule & availability, and can even opt in to our Sit-​A-​Dog, Save-​a-​Life Charitable Donation Program. Dog owners have the ability to browse different sitters based off several different search filters in order to find the best sitter for you and your pooch!
