Rover - Dog Boarding & Walking

Dog care in one place

Rover - Dog Boarding & Walking helps dog owners arrange local boarding, sitting, and walking services. It suits people who need care while away, as well as owners looking for regular help with a dog’s daily routine. You can browse available carers, contact them, and manage bookings from an Android phone.

For dog owners

The app provides a way to discuss your dog’s needs with a sitter or walker before arranging care. Bookings and payments are handled through the service, while messages keep communication in one place. During a walk or stay, carers can send photos and updates. Walk details may include a GPS route, along with notes about food, water, and bathroom breaks.

For sitters and walkers

Rover also supports people who provide pet care. Sitters and walkers can respond to requests, message owners, share photos and videos, and keep track of their bookings. The app includes tools for managing care details and sending service updates, so owners can receive useful information without relying on separate messaging or payment apps.
