The cashback maths

What you actually save on a typical booking

Worked example: a 5-night dog-boarding stay in San Antonio at $65 per night. The sitter sets the same rate either way. The difference is what each platform stacks on top.

Typical platformsPetme
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 cashback on every booking automatically into your Petme balance.

Local context

Booking a sitter in San Antonio: what to know

San Antonio summers run hot and long, with the heat index topping 100°F from June through September. Sitters walk at dawn and dusk, carry water, and keep dogs in the AC midday. Spring brings the occasional severe-storm and flash-flood window. Military relocations and deployments around Joint Base San Antonio create steady boarding and house-sitting demand year-round, with summer and winter-holiday peaks layered on top. Drop-ins run heavy through the hot months. A large share of San Antonio owners message sitters in Spanish first. Bilingual sitter profiles convert noticeably faster across the South Side, West Side, and downtown.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Are pet sitters in San Antonio really vetted?
Yes. Every Petme sitter in San Antonio passes identity verification with a government ID and a background check before their profile goes live. First bookings are tagged so you can see whether a sitter is new or established, and reviews are open and unfiltered.
What does the 0% owner fee actually mean in practice?
It means Petme adds nothing to the sitter's rate: a $325 5-night boarding costs you $325. Other US platforms (Rover, Wag, Care.com) charge pet owners a service fee on top of the sitter's rate at checkout, and their exact fees are published on their own sites and can change. On Petme there is no owner-side fee to compare.
How does cashback work for San Antonio bookings?
When you complete a booking with a sitter in San Antonio, Petme credits cashback back into your in-app balance. The balance applies to your next booking with no expiry and no minimum. New customers see the credit within hours of booking completion.
What happens if my pet needs a vet during a stay in San Antonio?
Every Petme booking automatically includes up to $22,000 in vet expenses if something goes wrong during the stay. The protection has no deductible and applies whether you book one walk or a two-week boarding. Open a ticket from inside the booking and Petme support coordinates directly with the San Antonio clinic.
Can I cancel if my plans change?
Yes. Each sitter sets their own cancellation policy and it's shown clearly on their profile before you book. Cancellations made inside the sitter's free-cancel window are refunded in full to your original payment method.
What about San Antonio-specific rules I should know?
Texas requires no state pet-sitter licence and levies no state income tax. San Antonio enforces a citywide leash-and-cleanup ordinance; pet-sitting income is reported federally on a Schedule C, with a 1099-NEC from Petme once your annual earnings pass the federal reporting threshold.
Is Petme an app or a website?
Both. Search and read profiles on the website. Booking, messages, payment, and cashback all run inside the iOS and Android app.
