The cashback maths
What you actually save on a typical booking
Worked example: a 5-night dog-boarding stay in Tampa 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.

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 Tampa: what to know
Tampa summers are hot and humid with daily afternoon thunderstorms, and named-storm season runs June through November. Sitters walk at dawn and dusk, watch for hot pavement, and confirm a storm plan for Gulf-coast bookings. Snowbird season (November to April) brings part-year residents and steady boarding demand, while summer is the local travel window. Drop-in visits run heavy year-round for owners who keep dogs indoors through the hottest, stormiest months.
