The cashback maths

What you actually save on a typical booking

Worked example: a 5-night dog-boarding stay in Colorado Springs at $65 per night. The sitter sets the same rate either way — the difference is what each platform stacks on top.

	Fee-charging platforms	Petme
Sitter rate (5 nights × $65)	$325	$325
Pet-owner service fee (~11%)	$35–$50	$0
Booking subtotal	$360–$375	$325
Cashback earned	—	−$16
Effective cost	$360–$375	$309

Competitor column reflects platforms that charge pet owners a service fee on top of the sitter rate (Rover, Wag, Care.com). Petme charges pet owners 0% and credits up to 5% cashback automatically into your Petme balance.

Local context

Booking a sitter in Colorado Springs: what to know

Colorado Springs sits at over 6,000 feet with intense high-altitude sun, dry air, and big day-to-night temperature swings. Sitters carry water on every walk in summer and shift to midday outings in winter when morning lows and icy sidewalks make early walks risky for paws. Summer tourism around Garden of the Gods and Pikes Peak plus military relocations tied to the area's bases drive a steady boarding and drop-in season, with a second spike over the winter holidays.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Are pet sitters in Colorado Springs really vetted?

Yes. Every Petme sitter in Colorado Springs 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?

Other US platforms (Rover, Wag, Care.com) charge pet owners a service fee on top of the sitter's rate at checkout — typically 5% to 11%. Petme charges pet owners 0%. You pay the rate the sitter sets, nothing else. On a $325 5-night boarding, that's $35–$50 you don't pay.

How does cashback work for Colorado Springs bookings?

When you complete a booking with a sitter in Colorado Springs, 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 Colorado Springs?

Every Petme booking automatically includes up to $20,000 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 Colorado Springs 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 Colorado Springs-specific rules I should know?

Colorado does not license pet sitters or dog walkers. Colorado Springs requires dogs to be leashed or confined off the owner's property except in designated off-leash areas, and dogs must be licensed. Self-employment pet-care income is reportable on Schedule C.

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.
