FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Is Petme available across Canada?
Yes. Verified sitters operate in every major Canadian metro: Toronto, Vancouver, Montreal, Calgary, Edmonton, Ottawa, Winnipeg, Hamilton, Quebec City, Halifax, Saskatoon, Regina, Victoria, and dozens more.
What does the 0% owner fee actually mean?
Other platforms charge pet owners a service fee on top of the sitter’s rate at checkout. Petme charges pet owners 0%. You pay only the rate the sitter sets, in CAD, with no platform markup.
How much can I save with the 0% owner fee?
On a five-night dog boarding booking at CAD 50 per night, you save CAD 38–50 in pet-owner service fees alone. Add automatic cashback and the effective saving grows with every booking.
How does the cashback work?
When a booking completes, Petme credits cashback into your in-app balance. You spend the balance on your next booking. No expiry, no minimum, no opt-in.
What happens if my pet needs a vet during a booking?
The Protection Plan can contribute up to CAD 32,000 toward eligible vet costs at any licensed Canadian vet clinic. See the Protection Plan terms for what qualifies and how to submit a request.
Are sitters in Canada really vetted?
Yes. Every sitter passes identity verification with a government ID and a background check before profiles go live. First reviews are tagged so you can see how new sitters compare to established ones.
What are the most reliable pet sitting services in Canada?
The reliable ones verify sitters before they take bookings and keep the payment inside the app. On Petme, every Canadian sitter passes a government ID check and a background check, reviews come from owners who booked, and the Protection Plan can contribute up to CAD 32,000 toward eligible vet costs.
Can sitters access my condo building?
In tower-heavy cities like Toronto and Vancouver, owners commonly arrange a building visitor pass or concierge handoff during the meet and greet. The sitter’s ID and profile are easy to share with the building.
Does Petme support French?
The Petme app is bilingual and supports French sitters and owners in Quebec. The /ca/ web pages are currently English-only; a French web pipeline is planned.
