Updates and thoughts on how we're building Rover.
Hi, I'm John, one of Rover's co-founders. I focus on design and product here, and I wanted to personally say hello and invite your thoughts on a new idea we're trying out. As you may know, our team is committed to shaping Rover from...

We’re at that stage with AI now. While everyone is complaining about the quality of the product (It’s slop! It’s soulless! It’s completely inaccurate!), I think we miss the deeper issue, which is this: Almost everyone is using AI to do the same thing they did before, just faster/cheaper/easier.
First off, and to avoid any confusion, we are not the pet sitter marketplace. (Yes, I know. I'm disappointed too.) Instead, Rover is an audio-first, AI-driven social content platform. What does that mean?
