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

Protection and cashback
Protection and cashback, automatic
$22,000 Protection Plan on every booking

The protection is automatic, has no deductible, and applies whether you book one drop-in visit or a two-week boarding. No claim form to fill out before the vet visit: open a ticket from inside the booking and Petme support coordinates with the clinic.
Automatic cashback, no signup, no opt-in
When a booking completes, up to 5% cashback is credited to your Petme balance straight away. Use the balance toward your next booking, no expiry, no minimum. The more you book, the more comes back.

Local context
Booking a sitter in Newark: what to know
Newark sees hot, humid summers and cold winters with snow, so sitters shift walks to early morning and evening in the heat and keep winter outings short and well salted. Dense rowhouse and apartment blocks make midday drop-in visits common. Demand peaks during summer travel and the winter holidays, with weekday walking and drop-in visits steady for commuters heading into Manhattan. Boarding and house sitting rise around major travel weekends and through nearby Newark Liberty airport trips. Newark has a very large Portuguese and Brazilian community in the Ironbound plus a wide Spanish-speaking base, so Portuguese- or Spanish-fluent sitters often connect with more owners.
