Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Hover Dog at none against Running Pets's 10. Hover Dog also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). Running Pets's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 9 days vs every 4 weeks). On price, review sentiment and device support there is nothing between them.
