We’re so excited to be speaking at UW and we’d love to meet you! Please come join us at 6pm on Monday, October 15th for dinner and a combined info session and tech talk.

We are passionate about our amazing mission — enabling more people to experience the unconditional love of a dog — and we’ll tell you all about how we’re accomplishing that. We’ll discuss our values, our culture, our marketplace, and our software. Philip Kimmey, one of our Co-Founders and Director, will talk in detail about the technical and business challenges of our newest service, Rover Now, enabling dog owners to rely on Rover to line up a perfect dog-walker at a specific time and place. Phil will also share some of the hallmarks of our engineering culture, such as how we utilize machine learning, experimentation, split testing, and data analysis to formulate data-driven decisions and strategies
