The site is primarily devoted to pet sitting in its current form, but is already being used by walkers and they’ll be expanding to include more walking features soon. The folks there are eager to partner with sitters and walkers across the country—and APSE graduates will have the added benefit of a certification badge displayed by their names. Rover.com
