Job Description

Who we are:
 
We founded Rover.com with the mission to connect dog owners and pet parents with the world’s largest network of pet sitters and dog walkers. Why? We strongly believe that everyone should have the opportunity to experience the unconditional love of a dog.
 
Rover improves and simplifies life for pet parents and the dogs they love by connecting owners with trusted pet care whenever they need it. Millions of services have been booked on Rover, including pet sitting, dog walking, in-home dog boarding, and doggy day care. Needless to say (but we're going to say it anyway) – we love dogs!
 
We are on a mission to grow Rover.com rapidly in Europe and are therefore looking for a talented and driven Head of Customer Support in Barcelona, managing our Barcelona and Berlin Customer Support teams.
