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.
