Rover, the world's largest network of pet sitters and dog walkers, acquired DogBuddy, Europe's leading dog boarding, doggy day care, and dog walking platform. Financial terms were not disclosed. "We are incredibly pleased to welcome DogBuddy to the Rover family. We have a great deal of admiration for its leadership team, and what they've accomplished in becoming the leading player in Europe. While this transaction is a mutual fit for our strategic business priorities, we also share similar company cultures and values, and a passion for pets and the people who love them," said Aaron Easterly, CEO of Rover. "Today's announcement accelerates our international expansion plans and underscores Rover's global leadership in the pet care space. With roughly 70 million dog-owning households and 31 percent of global pet spend concentrated in Europe, the market represents one of the largest populations of dog owners outside of the U.S."
