Rover pledges up to one million dollars to nationwide non-profit, Pet
Partners

SEATTLE–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Rover.com,
the nation’s largest network of dog sitters and dog walkers, today
announced that for everyone who books a stay over the holidays, Rover
and its Sit a Dog, Save a Life program will donate $1 to Pet
Partners
—up to one million dollars.

“Rover exists so that everyone can experience the joy of having a dog in
their life, and Pet Partners’ therapy animals make more than a million
visits to people in need each year,” said Brent Turner, Rover’s chief
operating officer. “By supporting Pet Partners this holiday season, our
community of dog lovers will help therapy animals nationwide get one
step closer to improving the lives of their human companions.”

Pet Partners trains and educates owners of therapy animals, connecting
thousands of companion dogs and their handlers with programs in
hospitals, veterans’ centers and schools nationwide. Donations to Pet

the animals,” said Annie Magnant, Pet Partners President and CEO. “We’re
incredibly thankful that Rover and their community of pet lovers are
supporting our mission this holiday season.”

Rover’s Sit a Dog, Save a Life program helps sitters raise money for
dogs in need by donating a portion of their earnings to a nonprofit
organization that helps dogs in their community. To learn more about Sit
