This is not our API. This repository is an independent, third-party profile of a company's publicly available API surface, maintained by API Evangelist. API Evangelist does not operate, host, resell, or support this company's APIs, and is not affiliated with or endorsed by the company unless stated on the profile.
Where the information came from. Everything here is assembled from material a member of the public can reach with a browser and no credentials — the company's own website, developer portal and documentation, the specifications it publishes for public use (OpenAPI, AsyncAPI, JSON Schema,
apis.json,llms.txtand similar), its public repositories, and its public status, pricing and changelog pages. Nothing here is obtained by breaching a system, defeating an access control, or using credentials of any kind.The rating is an independent assessment. The Kin Score and Agent Readiness rating are independently calculated scores of a company's public API artifacts, produced by API Evangelist against a published rubric. They are not certifications, endorsements, security assessments, or audits, and they score published artifacts — not the quality, safety, or security of the software.
Corrections, re-scores, and removal are free. No partnership, contract, or purchase is required, and you do not need to justify the request.
- Something wrong? Open an issue on this repository, or email info@apievangelist.com.
- Published something new? Ask for a re-score and we will re-run the rating.
- Want the listing taken down? Say so and we will honor it. The profile is reduced to your company name, a factual description, and a link to your own site, and the company is recorded as unrated — never scored zero for having asked.
Response times. Acknowledgement within one business day; removal or restriction within two business days; corrections and re-scores within five business days.
On a security or compliance team? Email info@apievangelist.com with security in the subject line and you will get a person, not a form. We will tell you exactly which public URLs this profile was built from so your team can see the same surface we did, and we will take the listing down on request while you work through it.
Full detail: Where this data comes from
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 operated as 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 the stock ($11.00/share, all-cash).

As of this catalog entry (2026-07-03), Rover does not expose a public, documented developer API and does not operate a developer portal. This was verified through several signals:
- No developer portal / API reference. There is no
developer.rover.com, no published API documentation, and no OpenAPI/reference material on rover.com or in the help center. - Community confirmation. Rover's own community carries the unanswered question "Does Rover have a public API?" — no official public API is offered in response.
- GitHub org has no public API. The roverdotcom GitHub organization publishes internal engineering tooling (Django utilities such as
django-inlinecss,django-prefetch-utils,selenium-utility-belt,snagsby) but no consumer-facing API, API client, or API documentation. - Only a marketing affiliate program exists. Rover runs an affiliate program through third-party networks (Impact, CJ/Commission Junction, Rakuten, Skimlinks, ShareASale) offering up to ~15% commission on first bookings. This is a marketing/referral program with tracking links — not a data or booking API.
- Third-party access is unofficial scraping only. Programmatic access to Rover listings today is only available via unofficial third-party web scrapers (e.g. Apify's Rover pet-sitter scrapers) and browser-automation MCP connectors. These are not supported or sanctioned Rover APIs and can break or violate terms at any time.
If Rover exists in a partner integration ("Rover has previously consumed third-party APIs such as Bandwidth's communications platform"), that is inbound integration, not an outbound public API.
Because there is no real, documented, publicly accessible API surface, this entry intentionally does not fabricate logical APIs (Sitters, Bookings, Services, Reviews, Pets), OpenAPI definitions, rate limits, or FinOps artifacts. It should be revisited if Rover launches a partner or developer API.

Rover has no API pricing because it has no API. As a two-sided marketplace it monetizes through service fees on each booking (well-sourced, see plans/rover-plans-pricing.yml):
- Sitters / dog walkers pay a ~20% service fee on most bookings (they keep ~80%); ~15% on house sitting.
- Pet owners pay an ~11% booking fee, capped at $50, added at checkout.
- California differs: a 25% marketplace fee to providers plus an 11% booking fee to owners.
- UK differs: providers keep ~85% (95% on recurring services).
Fees vary by region, service type, and pilot programs; confirm current rates in the Rover help center.
