The Petme promise

Three things no other Swiss platform offers

Pawshake and Petsitting24 quietly take 15 to 25 percent of every booking from the owner side, give vague guarantees and no cashback. Petme does it differently.

1

0% platform fee

Petme charges you nothing as an owner. You pay the sitter rate as listed in their profile. Pawshake and Petsitting24 add 15 to 25 percent on top.

2

CHF 20,000 vet protection

Auto-included on every booking. Emergencies, surgery, hospitalisation during the stay. Swiss partner vets bill Petme directly.

3

Cashback after every booking

A percentage credited to your account after every completed booking. The more you book, the more you get back. Cash out any time.

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about Petme's 0% fee model in Switzerland.

0% fees, really? What is the catch?▾
No catch for owners. You pay the sitter the listed price, with no Petme markup. Petme earns revenue separately, via optional premium tools for sitters and a small set of advertising partnerships.
How does Petme differ from Pawshake and Petsitting24?▾
Pawshake and Petsitting24 charge an owner-side fee of 15 to 25 percent. Petme charges 0%. Plus: CHF 20,000 vet protection instead of vague guarantees. Plus: cashback after every booking. You get more, you pay less.
What exactly does the CHF 20,000 cover?▾
Emergency treatment, surgery and inpatient stays during the booking period. Swiss partner vets bill Petme directly. No excess, no waiting period, no age cap, no upfront payment from you.
How much is the cashback?▾
The percentage varies by booking type and length. You see the exact amount before confirming. Longer bookings earn more cashback, and loyal owners reach higher cashback tiers.
Does this work across all of Switzerland?▾
Yes. 0% fees, CHF 20,000 protection and cashback apply in every canton, from Zurich to Lugano, from cities to ski resorts like Zermatt and Verbier.
What if a sitter doesn't meet Swiss requirements?▾
Petme verifies every Swiss sitter with an ID check. In cantons with specific licensing (e.g. SKN for large dogs in Zurich), the profile flags it. You choose which sitter to meet before booking.
How does Petme pay money to my bank?▾
Cashback is credited to your Petme account. Cash out any time via IBAN bank transfer, or apply the balance to your next booking. Payouts arrive within 2 business days.
What happens if I need to cancel a booking?▾
Petme refunds 100% or part of the booking depending on cancellation timing. You and the sitter see the conditions in the app. Cashback is preserved on justified cancellations.
