Community Post Guidelines

Rover no longer accepts unsolicited contributions for Community Posts. If you are interested in pitching a story idea to our blog, please email blog@rover.com. Thank you for your interest in writing for Rover!

We love to share stories, tips, and insights with our readers! If you’ve got something to share, it may be a good fit for one of our Community Posts.

Community Post Guidelines

Rover is a community that promotes positivity.

  1. Stay positive in your suggestions, rather than lecturing people on the best way to be a good dog owner.
  2. Only share suggestions that are non-controversial. For example, we will not share articles that argue the benefits of shock collars.
  3. Be a community member, not an advertiser. We will not publish articles that are glorified advertisements.

Make it useful.

  1. Write specific content. “The 10 Best Dog Parks” is much more useful than “What Makes a Good Dog Park.”
  2. Write content that’s relevant year round. “10 Cutest Easter Dog Outfits” is a great post for 1 month a year. Write “10 Cutest Dog Outfits” instead.
  3. Use your area of expertise! We have this section of the blog so we can bring in more knowledge. If you sew, write a DIY post on how to make your own dog toy. If you’re a financial advisor, write a post on how you can use Rover as a side job.

Write posts that are easy and fun to read.

  1. 75% of our readers are on mobile, so keep the articles relatively short.
  2. Include at least one image.
  3. Write clear headers.
  4. Use bullet points where you can.
  5. Write in a conversational tone.

Sound like a good fit?

After reading the guidelines, if you think you’ve got something that would work well, send it on to blog@rover.com!

We do reserve the right to make changes to your post.
