Why Petme

Why US dog owners pick Petme over Rover and Wag

Rover keeps about 20% of the sitter's rate plus 5–11% from the owner. Wag's opaque take is reported as ~40% all-in. Both leave sitters with thinner economics, which means thinner supply during peak windows. Petme charges owners 0%, leaves sitters with up to 90%. Better supply, better repeat rates, better outcomes for your dog.

0% service fee for pet owners

Rover and Wag stack a 5% to 11% service fee on top of the sitter's rate at checkout. Petme stacks 0%. On a $325 5-night booking, that's $35 to $50 you keep in your pocket, every booking.

$20,000 vet protection, included

Every Petme booking automatically includes up to $20,000 in vet expenses if something happens during the stay. No deductible. No upcharge. No upgrade tier. Petme coordinates with the clinic directly from inside the app.

Up to 5% cashback, automatic

When a booking completes, up to 5% lands in your Petme balance instantly. Use it toward the next booking. No expiry, no minimum, no opt-in. Rakuten-style economics applied to your pet's second home.

Verified, background-checked sitters

Every Petme sitter passes identity verification with a government ID plus a background check before going live. Reviews are open and unfiltered. New-sitter status is tagged so you can see who is established.

Same sitter, every booking

Search and rebook the same sitter directly. No matchmaking churn, no rotating strangers. Most Petme owners settle on one preferred sitter after 2 to 3 bookings and stick with them for years.

Transparent pricing, no surprises

The price you see is the price you pay. No checkout-time service fee, no extra-pet fee, no "premium support" upsell. Add-ons (extra walk, late pickup, additional pet) charge 0% owner fee too.
