Fee-free bookings. The price you see is the price you pay.

Petme charges pet owners 0% on every booking. No service fees, no surcharges, no surprise costs at checkout. The rate on the sitter’s profile is the total you pay.

Why we charge pet owners nothing

Pet care is expensive enough already. We don’t think owners should pay a tax on top of the sitter’s rate just for using a marketplace, and we don’t think you should need a calculator to find out what a booking is actually going to cost.

Most platforms work the other way around. You see a friendly rate on a sitter’s profile, then a service fee, booking fee, and a “trust and safety” surcharge stack up at checkout. By the time you confirm, the listed rate was only the start of the conversation.

We chose the simpler path. Sitters pay us a small platform fee out of what they earn, and you book at the rate you saw. Same number on the profile, same number at checkout, same number every booking.

On Petme

You pay the sitter’s listed nightly rate. Nothing more. No service fee, no booking surcharge, no add-ons at checkout. The total is the rate multiplied by the number of nights, full stop.

On most other platforms

Marketplaces typically add a service fee on top of the sitter’s rate at checkout. A nightly rate that looks affordable on the profile can end up noticeably higher once fees, surcharges, and processing costs are layered in.

How it works

Browse trusted sitters

See sitter profiles, photos, reviews and nightly rates in your area. Every rate shown is the price you’ll actually pay, no asterisks, no fine print.

Request a booking

Send a booking request to the sitter directly in the app. Most sitters reply within hours. You can message them first to ask questions before committing.

Pay only the sitter’s rate

When the sitter accepts, you pay exactly what was listed. No fees added at checkout, no surcharge after you’ve agreed the dates, no surprise total on the confirmation screen.

Keep what you would have spent

Save what you would have paid in fees on other platforms. Put it toward another stay, a longer booking, or your pet’s next treat.

What this looks like over a year of bookings

Most platforms add somewhere between 10% and 20% to the sitter’s rate as a service fee. On one weekend booking that might just be the price of one dinner out. Over a year of regular bookings, it adds up to real money.

If you’re a frequent traveler with two pets, or a busy family using daycare a few times a month, those fees stop being a rounding error. On Petme that money stays in your account. You decide whether to put it toward a longer stay, a second booking, or a vet check-up. Either way, it’s yours.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are there really no fees for pet owners?▾
Yes. Petme charges 0% to pet owners on every booking. You pay the sitter’s listed nightly rate at checkout, nothing more. No service fee, no booking fee, no surcharge. The same applies whether you book a single drop-in visit or a multi-week stay.
Are there hidden costs at checkout?▾
No. The price you see on a sitter’s profile is the price you pay. We don’t add processing fees, currency-conversion charges, or “trust and safety” fees at the final step. The total at checkout is the nightly rate times the number of nights, full stop. You get a full receipt in your Petme wallet after the booking.
How does Petme make money if owners pay no fees?▾
Sitters pay a small platform fee on what they earn. That covers running the marketplace, the Petme Protection Plan, 24/7 customer support, ID verification and background checks, and the apps. Sitters still keep up to 90% of every booking, which is higher than most platforms charge.
Do sitters charge more on Petme to make up for it?▾
Sitters set their own rates. In our experience most of them list the same nightly rate they would on other platforms, so the savings flow straight to the pet owner. The easiest way to see is to browse a few sitter profiles in your area and compare against rates you’ve seen elsewhere.
How does this compare to Rover or Wag?▾
We don’t quote competitor pricing because it changes often and depends on your country, the type of booking, and ongoing promotions. What we can say is that Petme adds 0% to the sitter’s rate at checkout. We’d encourage you to compare a few platforms before booking and to look closely at the fees that are added after you pick a sitter and confirm the dates.
