Petme · Canada
Pet sitting with no booking fee in Canada
The rate you see is the rate you pay. No service fee added at checkout, plus cashback on every booking.
On most pet-sitting platforms the sitter’s rate is not the final number: a service fee is added on top at checkout, every time. Petme is built the other way. Owners pay 0%, cashback comes back, and the Protection Plan can contribute up to CAD 32,000 toward eligible vet costs. Here is exactly how that works and what it saves you.

Where the extra charge comes from
On a typical booking platform, you choose a sitter, see their nightly or per-walk rate, and then at checkout a service fee is added on top. It is usually a percentage of the booking, so the more you book, the more you pay in fees over a year.
That fee is separate from what the sitter earns. It does not buy you a better sitter or more protection. It is simply the platform’s cut, charged to you, the owner, on top of the rate you already agreed to.
How Petme is different
Zero owner fee, and cashback on top
0% owner service fee
Petme charges pet owners nothing on top of the sitter’s rate. You pay the rate you see, full stop. Petme earns from the sitter side instead, so the owner price stays clean.
Cashback on every booking
When a booking completes, cashback lands in your Petme balance to spend on the next booking. No opt-in, no minimum, no expiry.
Protection Plan up to CAD 32,000
The Protection Plan can contribute up to CAD 32,000 toward eligible vet costs during the stay at any licensed Canadian clinic. It is built in, not a paid add-on.
What it adds up to
The saving over a year
For a single week of boarding, skipping a checkout fee is a modest saving. Across a year of recurring walks plus a few boarding stays, it compounds, and the cashback compounds alongside it.
The honest way to compare two platforms is the all-in number: the sitter’s rate, plus any checkout fee, minus any cashback. On Petme that is just the rate, minus cashback. When you run that math, the gap is real and it grows with how often you book.
