The cashback maths

What you actually save on a typical booking

Worked example: a 5-night dog-boarding stay in Sacramento 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−$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.

Local context

Booking a sitter in Sacramento: what to know

Sacramento summers run hot and dry, with stretches well over 100 degrees in July and August. Sitters here walk dogs early morning or after sunset and skip midday pavement, since the foggy, mild winters are the easy part of the year. Demand climbs over summer travel and the December holidays, when owners leave town and need overnight boarding and house sitting. State-government and university calendars also drive steady weekday drop-in and walking work the rest of the year. Sacramento has a large Spanish-speaking community, so sitters comfortable in Spanish can serve more owner families across South Sacramento and Oak Park.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Are pet sitters in Sacramento really vetted?
Yes. Every Petme sitter in Sacramento 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 Sacramento bookings?
When you complete a booking with a sitter in Sacramento, 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 Sacramento?
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 Sacramento 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 Sacramento-specific rules I should know?
California has no statewide pet-sitter or dog-walker license; some cities require a local business registration, so check with the City of Sacramento. Pet-care income is self-employment income you report on Schedule C, and you handle your own taxes as a 1099 contractor.
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.
