Dog apps have been steadily rising in popularity lately. The six free dog apps listed below are designed to help pet owners find affordable services and some helpful tools to care for their furry friends.
Rover

Rover gives owners premium pet insurance and photo updates while they’re away as well. Owners can choose whether the sitter cares for their dog at home or in the sitter’s house. Rover is available for iOS and Android devices.
Trottr
This dog app connects owners with certified and trained dog walkers in their area. Owners can choose from a list of walkers.
