Description:
Rover.com is your one-stop shop for loving and trustworthy dog sitters near you. In short, we’re suckers for all things cute and slobbery. Connecting pet parents with loving dog sitters across the country is something we do with the gusto of a pug snout-deep in a jar of peanut butter. But we have a serious side, too! This wouldn’t be possible without the rapid growth of the sharing economy.

Are you an Uber aficionado? An Airbnb connoisseur? Then chances are, you know more about the sharing economy than you realize.

Don’t know what the sharing economy is? Here’s a crash course. Whether you’re an expert or a newbie, we’re looking for your perspective.

Sharing economy companies like Uber, Lyft, Airbnb, and Rover have seen a big rise in popularity over the last few years. How do you think the sharing economy will change in the next 5 years? What impacts do you think it will have on the lives of college students, both in big cities and small towns?

How do you win?

50% = Thoughtfulness of response
30% = Relevance to prompt
15% = Quality of composition
