Frequently Asked Questions About Pet Sitting

How do I find a trustworthy pet sitter?

Look for sitters with verified profiles showing their own pets, home environment, and lifestyle. On Petme, all sitters are ID-verified and background-checked, and you can view their full social profiles before booking.

What should I look for when choosing a dog walker or cat sitter?

Check their experience with your pet’s breed and age, read reviews from other pet parents, view photos of their own pets and home, and ensure they’re located conveniently in your neighborhood.

How much does pet sitting cost?

Pet sitting rates vary by location, service type, and sitter experience. Dog walking typically costs $15-30 per walk, while overnight boarding ranges from $25-75 per night depending on your area.

What's the difference between Petme and other pet sitting apps?

Petme is a social-first platform where you can view sitters’ complete social profiles—their lifestyle, own pets, and home—before booking. This transparency helps you make confident decisions about who cares for your pet.

Do I need to meet the sitter before booking?

Yes, we always recommend a meet-and-greet before your first booking. This helps your pet get comfortable with their sitter and lets you discuss routines, medications, and any special needs in person.
