Rover

Rover is the world's largest online marketplace for pet care, connecting pet parents with sitters and dog walkers for boarding, house sitting, drop-in visits, doggy daycare, and dog walking. Founded in 2011 and headquartered in Seattle, Rover was a publicly traded company (Nasdaq: ROVR) until Blackstone completed its acquisition of Rover Group for approximately $2.3 billion on February 27, 2024, taking the company private and delisting its stock. As of this catalog entry, Rover does NOT publish a public, documented developer API or a developer portal. Its platform is a closed consumer/provider marketplace; the only outward-facing integration program is a marketing affiliate program offered through third-party affiliate networks (Impact, CJ, Rakuten, Skimlinks, ShareASale, etc.), not a data/booking API. Programmatic access to Rover data today is only available via unofficial third-party web scrapers (e.g. Apify), which are outside Rover's supported surface. This entry is an honest stub documenting the absence of a public API; it should be revisited if Rover launches a partner or developer API.

Rover is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Pet Care, Dog Walking, Pet Sitting, Marketplace, and Consumer.

Rover’s developer surface includes engineering blog and 6 more developer resources.

Create-or-Update Ergonomics could not be measured. We hold no machine-readable contract for this provider to read, so there is nothing to measure a write surface against. Excluded rather than scored zero: never-measured and measured-empty are different facts. Publishing an OpenAPI is what makes this facet — and several others — scorable at all.

Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/rover: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
