Why Seattle

Why dog sitters work in Seattle specifically

Seattle's daily-walk culture means your sitter is doing the same Green Lake or Magnuson run your dog already knows. Long rainy stretches make a sitter with a covered space + indoor enrichment more valuable than a barren boarding kennel. Summer hiking sitters earn premium for Tiger Mountain or Rattlesnake Ledge group hikes.

Why Petme in Seattle

0% fee. 5% cashback. $22,000 Protection Plan. Same sitter, every time.

The dog-sitter market has been Rover's and Wag's for a decade. Petme rebuilt the economics around the pet owner. Seattle owners on Petme pay less per booking, get more protection, and earn cashback on every stay. Sitters keep more of the rate, which is why they show up.

0% service fee for pet owners

Rover, Wag, and Care.com layer 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. Petme layers 0%. You pay only the rate the sitter sets, so a 5-night booking costs exactly five nights.

$22,000 Protection Plan, included

Every Petme booking includes up to $22,000 in vet expenses if something happens during the stay. No deductible, no upcharge, no upgrade tier. Petme coordinates with the Seattle clinic from inside the app.

Up to 5% cashback, automatic

When a booking completes, up to 5% cashback lands in your Petme balance instantly. Use it toward the next booking, no expiry, no minimum. Rakuten-style economics applied to your pet's second home.

Verified, background-checked sitters

Every Petme Seattle sitter passes identity verification with a government ID plus a background check before going live. Reviews are open and unfiltered. Same-sitter rebooking is one tap, not a matchmaking dice roll.

The cashback maths

What a 5-night booking in Seattle actually costs

Worked example at the Seattle median nightly rate ($70 per night). The sitter sets the same rate either way; the difference is what each platform stacks on top.

Line item	Petme	Fee-charging platforms
Sitter rate (5 × $70)	$350	$350
Pet-owner service fee	$0	~$37
Cashback earned (up to 5%)	−$18	n/a
Effective cost	$332	$387

The right-hand column is a typical owner-side service fee on platforms that charge one on top of the sitter rate (Rover, Wag and Care.com publish their current fees on their own sites). $22,000 Protection Plan is included in the Petme price; other platforms set their own cover and caps.
