The cashback maths

What you actually save on a typical booking

Worked example: a 5-night dog-boarding stay in Phoenix 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.

Comparison

Petme vs other US platforms

Typical platforms

Pet owners pay a platform service fee on top of every booking, added at checkout.

No cashback. Repeat bookings cost the same as the first.

Emergency vet costs limited or behind a paid tier, with caps and exclusions set out in each platform's own policy pages.

Sitter matching rotates you through whoever is available. No same-sitter guarantee.

Petme

Pet owners pay 0% on Petme. The sitter sets the rate, you pay only the rate.

Up to 5% cashback on every completed booking, paid into your Petme balance instantly.

$22,000 in vet expenses included on every booking, no deductible, no upcharge.

Search and rebook the same sitter directly. Most Petme owners stick with one preferred sitter after the first 2–3 bookings.

Protection and cashback

Protection and cashback, automatic

$22,000 Protection Plan on every booking

Every booking on Petme includes up to $22,000 in vet expenses if something happens during the stay. 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 Phoenix: what to know

Phoenix pavement can hit 150°F from May through September, hot enough to burn paws in under a minute. Sitters walk before sunrise and after dark, test the asphalt with a hand, carry water, and watch for rattlesnakes on desert-edge trails and monsoon flash floods in late summer. Snowbird season (November to April) brings part-year residents and steady boarding demand, while the summer travel window is when locals escape the heat. Drop-in visits run heavy year-round for owners who keep dogs indoors through the hottest months.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Are pet sitters in Phoenix really vetted?

Yes. Every Petme sitter in Phoenix 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 Phoenix bookings?

When you complete a booking with a sitter in Phoenix, Petme credits up to 5% of the booking value 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 Phoenix?

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 Phoenix 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 Phoenix-specific rules I should know?

Arizona requires no state pet-sitter licence. Maricopa County enforces a leash law and licenses resident dogs; Phoenix runs permitted off-leash parks. 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 plus a flat Arizona state income tax.

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.
