Why Petme

Why US owners pick Petme over Rover and Wag

The US pet-sitting market has been Rover's and Wag's for a decade. Petme rebuilt the owner economics from scratch. You pay less per booking, get more protection, and earn cashback every time. Sitters keep up to 90% of the rate, which is why supply is steadier on Christmas and summer peak windows.

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.
