Family sues Rover after dog dies in sitter's care

A family in metro Atlanta has filed a lawsuit against the dog-sitting app Rover after their French bulldog, Ace, died while in a sitter's care. The family claims the sitter left Ace outside too long, leading to overheating. The family's attorney states the sitter violated Georgia law by failing to provide proper shelter. Rover initially offered the family $1,000 in damages, but they spent $12,000 on Ace's care and necropsy. Rover has terminated the sitter's services and expressed condolences to the family. The company emphasizes its safety measures, including background checks and summer safety resources for sitters.
