Pawz Corporate Office

While bussing tables, Christian Campisi tried to think of ways to more quickly raise enough money to transfer from his local college to Ohio State. Campisi founded Pawz in 2015.

Pawz sells T-shirts for humans and dogs, as well as cat toys, cat beds, dog toys, beds, and more. Ten percent of all proceeds are donated to no-kill animal shelters, providing additional housing, covering adoption fees, and other services.

The waterproof, 100% rubber dog boots are an especially popular item. There are no straps or snaps required and the boots can be washed and reused.

In 2017, Pawz donated $110,000 to a Jacksonville, Florida, Humane Society. This was the company’s fourth donation check, but the largest at the time.

The company has received criticism for giving out false details about some photos used on their website.

Pawz maintains a corporate office in Canton, Ohio.

Rover Corporate Office

Rover is an online app that offers pet services, such as dog walking. Founders Greg Gottesman, Aaron Easterly, & Philip Kimmey came up with the idea and won an app startup contest in 2011. The company launched its mobile app later that same year.

The company began by creating a marketplace for dog sitting and boarding services. Over the next four years, they expanded to offer dog walking, doggy daycare, and drop-in visits. Every sitter on the platform is an independent contractor and is not an employee of Rover.com. In 2017 Rover.com began its Quick Match dog walking service, enabling owners to instantly book a dog walker.

The company earns money by taking a percentage of each booking made on its site, which is generally from 15-20% for dog sitting/boarding services up to 40% for its Quick Match walking service.

Thousands of millennials are taking advantage of this carefree way of earning cash without keeping regular hours or having to deal with bosses or co-workers, with some people saying they earn more than $3,000 a month using the app.

Clients for the company have more than doubled in the past two years, even though there was one report of the accidental death of a disabled dog.

Rover states that it hires only trusted personnel but at least 6 people have claimed that their dogs died or went missing after using Rover services.

Headquarters for Rover.Com continue to operate out of Seattle, Washington.

Wag Corporate Office

Wag was founded by Josh Viner in 2014 after he realized that he would love to own a dog, but had no time in his schedule to walk his pet.

Wag is a mobile phone app that matches dog walkers with people who want someone to look after their dog. The service also includes pet sitting services. Some have dubbed Wag as an “Uber” for dogs.

Numerous celebrities are known to use Wag, including Kendall Jenner, Mariah Carey, and Chloe Grace Moretz. The app currently works in 43 states and more than 100 cities, with new cities being added regularly. Clients receive a lockbox and dog walkers receive the code to the box when they sign up to walk the dog.

The company donates part of their profits to shelter’s across the US, providing food and has a partnership with Greater Good to foster dogs around the globe.

The company has come under intense scrutiny and has received scathing criticism for sloppy and potential dangerous leaks. Due to a technical glitch, Wag recently leaked clients names, addresses, and lockbox codes for anyone who viewed the site. Dogs have been “lost”, and one dog walker was seen on a client’s camera, making himself at home by watching TV, drinking beer, and slouching on the sofa.

Wag has hired a new CEO, Hilary Schneider, former LifeLock CEO, to handle the company’s booming business and increasing problems. Headquarters for the company are located in West Hollywood, California.
