Why Petme

Why Miami dog owners pick Petme over Rover and Wag

Rover takes ~20% of the sitter rate plus 5–11% from the owner. Wag takes ~40% all-in. Both leave Miami dog sitters with thinner economics, which means thinner supply through cruise + holiday windows. Petme charges owners 0%, leaves sitters with up to 90%. Better Miami supply, better dog outcomes.

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.

Local use cases

Miami dog-sitting use cases

Miami dogs face conditions you won't find in most US metros: 130°F pavement May–October, condo elevator etiquette, named-storm hurricane warnings, year-round LATAM travel patterns. Petme sitters are built for it.

High-rise dog walking + handover

Brickell, Downtown, Edgewater, Aventura, Sunny Isles condos all have visitor-list authorization, elevator pet rules, and concierge handovers. Petme walkers know the staff names across the major buildings (1010 Brickell, Echo Brickell, SLS Brickell, Williams Island, Mansions at Acqualina).

Large-breed boarding (Coral Gables + Pinecrest yards)

Brickell condos cap dog weight; for Labradors, Goldens, German Shepherds, Bernese, route boarding to Coral Gables, Coconut Grove, Pinecrest, or Cutler Bay where single-family yards are common.

Heat-safe walk windows (dawn + post-sunset)

Miami pavement tops 130°F by 11am from May to October. Petme walkers shift to dawn and post-sunset slots, carry water, and watch for paw burns on Brickell + South Beach asphalt.

Doggy daycare for hybrid-RTO Tue–Thu

Mid-week daycare demand spikes in Miami's growing tech-and-finance market. Lock in a recurring weekly daycare slot rather than booking day-by-day.

Reactive-dog solo walks

Brickell and Aventura buildings' lobby traffic is hard on reactive dogs. Petme sitters who specialize in reactive bookings (filter for "solo walks only") route around peak elevator times.

Hurricane shelter-in-place dog care

During named-storm warnings, evacuating with the dog or sheltering-in-place both work. Petme sitters tagged "hurricane-evac-ready" carry a dog go-bag, know the evac route, and have mainland fallback arrangements.
