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.
More than an index entry, but the surface is still mostly links rather than artifacts — the cohort most likely to move a full band from modest, well-targeted work.
API Evangelist profiles Rover the way a machine reads it — 2 machine-readable artifacts, pulled from the provider's own public surface and indexed so a developer, an analyst, or an AI agent can evaluate it against every other provider on the network.
Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. From those artifacts we compute the Kin Score — Rover scores 15.1/100 (emerging), with a separate agent-readiness read of 0/100 (human only). The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.
Kin Score
This is the API Evangelist rating — a single, repeatable read computed from the artifacts on this page. Green fill is points earned; the red track is points possible, so every bar shows earned-versus-possible at a glance.

How we profile Rover
Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Rover. For each we say what it is and why it earns a place in the profile, then list every one we've indexed — capped at two rows, scroll within the panel for the rest.
Pricing Plans 1
Pricing is part of the interface. Machine-readable plans tell you what a tier costs and includes before you commit — one of the six things the Kin Score reads for commercial clarity.
Published pricing tiers and plan structures.

PLANSSecurity Posture 1
Authentication, domain security, vulnerability disclosure, and trust-center signals — the evidence that a provider takes security seriously enough to document it. We profile it because you can't govern what you can't see.
