Who We Are :

Want to make an impact? Join our pack and come work (and play!) with us.

We believe everyone deserves the unconditional love of a pet—and at Rover, our mission is to make it easier to experience that love. Founded in 2011, the Rover app and website connect dog and cat parents with loving pet sitters and dog walkers in neighborhoods across the US, Canada, and Europe. We empower our community of trusted pet sitters and dog walkers to run their own pet care businesses on Rover with the tools and security of a global company to back them.

Headquartered in Seattle, Washington, we work closely with our teams in Barcelona and remote locations. We’ve got a reputation for being a great place to work and are proud to be recognized as a top workplace in our area by respected business publications. We're an agile, fast-growing company, and our leadership comes from some of the world's most respected tech companies.

At Rover, our furry coworkers are just as important as our human ones—and we wouldn’t have it any other way. 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.

We are working every day to improve our efficiency, effectiveness and empathy in solving customer issues.

• Craft and lead high-priority risk and policy initiatives across multiple functional areas, elevating customer satisfaction and reducing risk to our community, including people and pet harm / crisis situations.
