The cashback maths

What you actually save on a typical booking

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

Fee-charging platformsPetme
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 Long Beach: what to know

Long Beach has a mild coastal climate with warm, dry summers and a cooler marine layer most mornings. Walks are comfortable nearly year round, though sitters time midday walks to avoid the strongest sun and watch hot sidewalks during late-summer heat. Demand peaks over summer and the winter holidays when residents travel, plus a steady commuter baseline year round, with dog walking and drop-in visits leading in this dense, work-from-office metro. Long Beach has a large Spanish-speaking owner base, so Spanish-speaking sitters reach more local families.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Are pet sitters in Long Beach really vetted?
Yes. Every Petme sitter in Long Beach 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 Long Beach bookings?
When you complete a booking with a sitter in Long Beach, 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 Long Beach?
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 Long Beach 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 Long Beach-specific rules I should know?
California does not license pet sitters or dog walkers at the state level; you work as a sole proprietor and report self-employment income on Schedule C. Long Beach requires dogs to be on a leash no longer than six feet in public except in designated fenced dog areas, and pet-care income is reportable to the IRS.
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.
