Finding a trustworthy pet sitter shouldn’t mean booking someone based on star ratings and generic bios. What if you could actually see their lifestyle, their own pets, and their home before you book?
That’s why Petme is the only social-first pet sitting platform. Unlike Rover or Wag where sitters are anonymous profiles, Petme lets you view complete social feeds before booking. You see how they live, what pets they own, and their daily routines—the transparency you’ve always wanted when trusting someone with your family member.
One feature that makes this work: the ability to post separately or together with your pet. This isn’t just about cute photos—it’s about building trust and showcasing your pet’s personality so sitters know exactly who they’re caring for.
Why Social-First Matters for Pet Sitting
Traditional pet sitting apps show you a profile photo, star rating, and text bio. You read “loves dogs!” but have no idea if they actually own dogs, what their home looks like, or how active their lifestyle is.
Petme flips this completely. Every user—pet owners and sitters—maintains a social presence showing real life through posts. When you browse sitters, you see:
- Their own pets and how they care for them
- Their home environment (crucial for boarding)
- Their activity level (are they hikers or homebodies?)
- Daily life moments, not staged marketing photos
This transparency works both ways. When sitters browse potential clients, they see your pet’s personality through posts—helping them decide if they’re a good match before accepting the booking.

Step-by-Step: Posting Separately or Together
Petme gives you three posting options: post as yourself, as your pet, or together. Here’s how:
Step 1: Create Your Post
Take your photo and add your caption. Maybe it’s your dog at the park, your cat napping, or a selfie together.
Step 2: Select Post Owners
Before publishing, tap “Select Post Owners”—this is where Petme’s unique feature appears.
Step 3: Choose Your Style
Post as yourself only: The post appears on your profile. Use this for your perspective on pet care (finding a great dog park, pet sitting tips).
Post as your pet only: Appears on your pet’s profile. Perfect for content focused on their experience (birthday photos, daily adventures, personality moments).
Post together: Both you and your pet are listed as owners. The post appears on both profiles. Ideal for shared moments—hiking together, cuddling on the couch, or introducing your pet to a new sitter.
Step 4: Confirm and Publish
Tap the checkmark to confirm. Your post goes live with the selected owners displayed above it.
Why This Matters for Finding Pet Sitters
Posting together or separately directly impacts your pet sitting experience:
Sitters see temperament: A dog posting frequent park visits signals different needs than a cat posting window naps. Sitters self-select based on accurate expectations.
You demonstrate care standards: When you post together with your pet, sitters see your activities, attention level, and lifestyle. They understand what to maintain during care.
Better matches happen: A sitter who posts daily hikes with their own dog is perfect for your active Golden Retriever—something you both see through posts before booking.
Trust builds before booking: Sitters browse your posting history and see you’re engaged and responsible. You browse theirs and see they genuinely love animals and have appropriate living situations.

Real-World Example
Traditional platform: You book a 4.8-star sitter based on reviews saying “great communication!” and hope for the best.
Petme social-first: You see a sitter’s profile full of posts about their own Golden Retriever’s hiking adventures. Your dog’s profile shows he loves trails too. You book confidently knowing it’s a perfect match—the sitter accepts because they’ve seen your outdoor lifestyle posts.
Better matches, less anxiety, higher-quality care.
Other Ways to Use This Feature
Training progress: Post together showing your journey teaching new skills. Sitters see your training investment and maintain consistency.
Health updates: Posting together about vet visits or medication routines helps sitters understand medical care requirements.
Community building: Post at local dog parks or pet events, connecting with other Petme users who might become trusted sitters or friends.
Personality showcase: Let your pet’s solo posts highlight quirks while together posts show your bond. Sitters get the complete picture.

FAQs
How is Petme different from Rover or Wag?
Petme is the only social-first pet sitting platform where you view sitters’ complete social profiles—their pets, home, and lifestyle—before booking. Rover and Wag use star ratings and text bios. Petme shows you who sitters really are through posts, creating transparency traditional platforms can’t offer.
Do I have to post to find pet sitters?
No, but posting helps. Active profiles showing your pet’s personality help sitters understand care expectations and assess fit. However, you can browse and book without posting.
Can my pet have their own followers?
Yes! Your pet’s profile can build followers independently. Other pet owners, potential sitters, and animal lovers can follow your pet. This creates community and helps you find sitters who already know your furry friend.
What should I post to find the best sitters?
Post authentic content showing your pet’s personality, routine, and needs. Active dogs? Show park visits. Mellow cat? Share cozy naps. Training expectations? Post training sessions. Authentic posts help sitters assess if they’re a good match.
Conclusion
Petme isn’t just another pet sitting app with social features added. It’s built social-first from the ground up, where transparency and community drive better pet care.
Posting separately or together with your pet builds the trust, showcases the personality, and creates connections that make finding quality sitters actually easy. You’re not choosing between faceless profiles hoping for the best—you’re connecting with real people whose lives you can see before booking.
Traditional platforms ask you to trust strangers based on stars. Petme lets you see exactly who you’re trusting.
