The cashback maths
What you actually save on a typical booking
Worked example: a 5-night dog-boarding stay in Knoxville at $65 per night. The sitter sets the same rate either way — the difference is what each platform stacks on top.
| Fee-charging platforms | Petme | |
|---|---|---|
| Sitter rate (5 nights × $65) | $325 | $325 |
| Pet-owner service fee (~11%) | $35–$50 | $0 |
| Booking subtotal | $360–$375 | $325 |
| Cashback earned | — | −$16 |
| Effective cost | $360–$375 | $309 |
Competitor column reflects platforms that charge pet owners a service fee on top of the sitter rate (Rover, Wag, Care.com). Petme charges pet owners 0% and credits up to 5% cashback automatically into your Petme balance.

Local context
Booking a sitter in Knoxville: what to know
Knoxville summers run hot and muggy with July highs in the 80s and 90s, so sitters shift longer walks to early morning or after sunset and keep midday outings short and shaded along the river greenways. Winters are mild with only occasional snow, so outdoor bookings rarely pause. Demand climbs around the University of Tennessee calendar and football Saturdays, plus summer travel and the winter holidays when boarding and daycare lead. Drop-in visits spike during fall break and spring break when families leave town.
