    Rover.com is the leading online community that connects dog owners with trusted dog sitters, and is where dogs beg to stay. We believe that all dogs deserve safe, loving homes even when their owners are away, and that’s why we created Rover. Our services provide an alternative to traditional caged boarding facilities, or family, friends and neighbors who are often asked to sit in a pinch. Rover currently operates nationwide, with 150,000 members enrolled, more than 25,000 approved sitters in over 4,300 cities across the U.S., and approximately 1,000 sitter options in each of the top 20 markets. Additionally, we believe all dogs deserve a happy and loving home and that’s why we’re committed to supporting animal shelters and companion animal programs across the nation. We also make it easy for sitters to donate a portion of their proceeds to local shelters through our Sit-a-Dog, Save-a-Lifeprogram, saving the lives of dogs everywhere.

    Check out Rover and become a neighborhood sitter or find a dog friend!

    Puppy Sitter @GetWaggit


    What a great concept! I am always moving to new apartments and making friends with other dog owners in the neighborhood. Now with waggit – I am make even more dog friends. YAY!

    It’s the Holiday Season and that means travel. Thanksgiving is over but Christmas and New Years are right around the corner. For dog owners, traveling doesn’t just include planes, trains, and automobiles but also kennels, sitters, and walkers. In New York, a reputable kennel can cost upwards of $60 a night, and professional pet sitters can be even more expensive.  That can mean an additional expense of $180 or more! But there is an alternative. Instead of dropping off your beloved pet at a kennel or begging your friends to help out, there’s a new online community that let’s pet parents connect with people in their New York neighborhood and exchange dog sitting favors. It’s called Waggit.

    Waggit helps pet owners save money while building a network of local friends.  It’s free to join and is a great alternative to paying for costly professional services or boarding your pet.  Even if you don’t need a dog sitter, use Waggit to spot familiar faces from the dog park and break the ice to set up doggie play dates, arrange a shared dog walker or offer up day care.

    Waggit, founded by Audrey Tan, is a NYC based tech startup and overall winner of the Nov 2011 Startup Weekend competition.  Thank you Audrey!! 🙂
