Every sitter's profile shows their experience with specific breeds, real photos with dogs they've cared for, and reviews written by actual dog owners in your city.

Real profiles, real trust

No kennels, ever

Your dog stays in a real home with a real person. We believe dogs deserve comfort, familiar routines, and one-on-one attention — not concrete floors and barking echoes.

Home-based care only

$20,000 vet coverage

Every booking includes veterinary protection through the Petme Protection Plan. If something unexpected happens during a stay or walk, your dog is covered — at no extra cost.

Peace of mind, built in

Meet before you book

Schedule a free meet-and-greet so your dog can get comfortable with their sitter before the booking is confirmed. Chemistry matters — for dogs and their owners.
