The cashback maths
What you actually save on a typical booking
Worked example: a 5-night dog-boarding stay in Hartford 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 Hartford: what to know
Hartford runs through cold, snowy winters in the Connecticut River valley and humid summers. Sitters shovel and salt routes during January storms and shift dog walks to cooler morning and evening hours through the muggy July stretch. Demand peaks over the winter holidays and summer travel, with steady weekday walking driven by the insurance and government workforce downtown. Boarding leads during vacation periods while drop-in visits carry the office commute.
