About Us
We believe everyone deserves the unconditional love of a pet—and at A-Place-for-Rover-Inc, our mission is to make it easier to experience that love.
Founded in 2011, our app and website connect dog and cat parents with loving pet sitters and dog walkers in neighborhoods across the globe. We empower our community of trusted pet sitters and dog walkers to run their own pet care businesses with the tools and security of a global company to back them.
Our Community

Along with making the joys of pet parenthood more accessible, we're committed to fostering a diverse, inclusive, and welcoming community of pet people—and that starts with our employees.
