Cat in a Flat, a Rover Group company specializing in cat-centric care, is now available in Canada. This expansion furthers our ability to better serve the unique needs of cats especially as they now outnumber dogs in Canadian households. Rover Group’s General Manager of Specialty Brands, Phil Katz, was inspired by his own cats when it comes to meeting a growing need for cat-centric care: “Bringing Cat in a Flat to Canada reinforces Rover’s commitment to serving the unique needs of every pet. My own cats, Nova and Nox, have made it very clear to me that cats have unique care needs, and further investing in cat-centric care makes it easier for pet parents to find a sitter who meets their specific needs. At Rover, our mission has always been to make it easier for people to experience the unconditional love of a pet. Cat in a Flat was built with that same philosophy and together, we’re bringing unconditional love to more cat people.” Read the press release for more information: https://lnkd.in/gS7SbkmU

From the “dog mom” era to the rise of the “pet village,” the way we care for our pets is changing fast. 🐾 We recently surveyed 1,000 pet parents to see how different generations are redefining what it means to raise a pet in 2026. The results? A massive shift toward preventative care, specialized wellness, and a high standard of living for our furry family members. Here are a few highlights from the Rover Generational Pet Parenting Report: 🐕 The "Pet Village" is growing: Nearly 1 in 5 Gen Z and Millennial pet parents consider a walker or sitter an essential part of their care team (compared to just 1 in 20 Boomers). 🐈 Wellness is the priority: Younger generations are leading the way in alternative therapies like reiki, hydrotherapy, and acupuncture. 🐕 Preventative over reactive: 71% of Gen Z visit the vet multiple times a year or "anytime something seems off" to stay ahead of health issues. 🐈 Quality of life: Gen Z is the generation least comfortable leaving their pets alone for more than 8 hours, prioritizing companionship above all. No matter your generation, one thing is clear: the human-animal bond has never been stronger. At Rover, we’re proud to support every kind of pet parent with the trusted care their "kids" deserve.

Exciting news for cats and cat people! Today we announced that Rover has acquired Meowtel, a US-based cat-sitting marketplace that helps cats and their people live their best lives. “Rover exists to see and serve the unique needs of pets and their people, and this transaction underscores that promise,” said Brent Turner, CEO of Rover. “We understand that cats have unique care needs. My own cats, for example, don’t want to leave their home environment and are accustomed to their daily routines–and Meowtel has addressed those requirements head on. We’re thrilled for Meowtel to join the Rover Group family and look forward to a successful partnership.” See our press release for more information: https://lnkd.in/g4DSpxrb
