TESTIMONIALS
What pet parents are saying
"
I spent 20 minutes scrolling through Rachel's profile before I even messaged her. I saw her with her own dogs, her updates from other pet sitting jobs, how she talks to pet parents. By the time I booked, I wasn't nervous - I was excited.

On other pet sitting platforms, you're crossing your fingers. On Petme, you're meeting someone. I saw Marcus's posts, his personality, the way he celebrates every dog's birthday. That's not a service - that's a person who cares.

The profile told me everything I needed to know. Emma has two senior dogs of her own, posts about gentle care, and every review mentions how patient she is. I didn't have to ask - I already knew she'd be perfect for my 12-year-old lab.

Finding a trustworthy cat sitter has always been impossible. With Petme, I could see Sophie's entire history with cats - her own two rescues, gentle handling techniques, and reviews from other cat owners. My anxious tabby actually liked her.

Questions? We've got answers.
How is Petme different from other pet sitting platforms?
Petme isn't just a marketplace - it's a social network. Every dog sitter and cat sitter has a living profile with posts, updates, and personality. You see who they are before you book, so there's no guesswork. You're meeting a person, not reading a resume.
Are sitters background-checked?
Yes. Every sitter on Petme is ID-verified and background-checked. Plus, every booking is covered by up to $20,000 (or £20,000 in the UK) in vet expenses through our Protection Plan.
What if something goes wrong during a booking?
The Petme Protection Plan automatically covers every booking with up to $20,000 (or £20,000 in the UK) in vet expenses. We also offer 24/7 emergency support. If something happens, we're here.
How do I know a sitter is trustworthy?
You'll see their full social profile - posts, reviews, how they interact with other pets, even their own pets. You can message them, request a meet-and-greet, and read detailed reviews from other pet parents. By the time you book, you'll already feel like you know them.
Is Petme available in my city?
Petme is live across the US, Canada, the EU, Australia and more. See the full list of countries here.
What services do Petme sitters offer?
Sitters on Petme offer dog boarding, house sitting, dog walking, drop-in visits, and doggy daycare. Some dog walkers and pet sitters also offer complementary services, such as bathing and grooming, and pick up and drop off. Every sitter lists the services they provide on their profile, so you can find exactly what you need.
How much does it cost?
Pricing varies by sitter, location, and service. Typical ranges include: US — $25-$50/night for boarding; UK — £20-60/night for boarding, £12-25 per walk, and £10-20 for drop-ins. You'll see exact rates on each profile before booking.
Can I book last-minute?
Yes! Many pet sitters accept same-day or next-day requests. Just search your area and filter by availability.
Do I have to pay to use Petme?
Signing up is free. You only pay when you book a service. There are no subscription fees or hidden costs.
Can I browse sitters before signing up?
To protect sitter privacy and ensure a safe community, full profiles are only visible to registered users. Signing up is free and takes 30 seconds - no credit card required. Once you're in, you'll see all sitters near you.
