Three structural reasons Petme costs less
The difference is not a discount or promotion. It is built into how Petme works.
0% service fee
Other platforms add 11%+ to the sitter's rate at checkout. On Petme, that charge does not exist. The price on the profile is the price you pay. Always.
No markup, everAutomatic cashback
Every completed booking earns cashback credited to your account automatically. No codes, no opt-in, no minimum. It accumulates and lowers your effective cost over time.
Applied on every booking$20,000 vet protection included
Every confirmed booking includes vet protection coverage up to $20,000 for accidents or illness during the sitting period. Not an add-on. Not a paid tier. Included.
Built into every bookingWhat you actually pay on Petme
Most platforms add a service fee of 11% or more on top of the sitter's rate, charged to the owner at checkout. On Petme, that line item does not exist. The price shown is the price you pay.

Everything about transparent pet sitting in the US
- Why does pet sitting on Petme cost less in total?
- The difference is structural. Other pet sitting platforms add a service fee of 11% or more to the owner at checkout. On Petme, that fee does not exist. The price on the sitter's profile is the total you pay. When you factor in automatic cashback on every completed booking, the effective cost goes down further over time.
- Are the sitters on Petme vetted and reliable?
- Yes. Lower fees do not mean lower quality. Petme sitters go through a profile review process and are rated by pet owners after each booking. You can read verified reviews before choosing a sitter. The transparency is on the pricing side: no markup from Petme, full accountability from sitters.
- How does automatic cashback work?
- Every completed booking on Petme automatically credits cashback to your account. No code needed, no minimum spend, no opt-in required. The balance accumulates after each stay, walk, or visit and can be applied to your next booking. Your effective rate goes down over time without any extra effort.
- What does 0% platform fee actually mean?
- Most pet sitting platforms add a service fee when you pay, on top of the sitter's listed rate. This fee is charged to the pet owner and typically runs 11% or more per booking. On Petme, this fee is zero. The price displayed on any sitter profile is the exact amount you will be charged. Nothing is added at checkout.
- Is the $20,000 vet protection really free?
- Yes. It is built into every confirmed booking on Petme at no extra cost. It is not an optional subscription, a paid tier, or a limited add-on. Every booking automatically includes vet protection coverage up to $20,000 for accidents or illness occurring during the sitting period. Learn about the Petme Protection Plan
