The cashback maths
What you actually save on a typical booking
Worked example: a 5-night dog-boarding stay in Philadelphia at $65 per night. The sitter sets the same rate either way. The difference is what each platform stacks on top.
| Typical platforms | Petme | |
|---|---|---|
| Sitter rate (5 nights × $65) | $325 | $325 |
| Pet-owner service fee | $35–$50 | $0 |
| Booking subtotal | $360–$375 | $325 |
| Cashback earned | $0 | −$16 |
| Effective cost | $360–$375 | $309 |
The competitor column is a typical owner-side service fee on platforms that charge one on top of the sitter rate (Rover, Wag and Care.com all publish their current fees on their own sites, and those fees change). Petme charges pet owners 0% and credits cashback on every booking automatically into your Petme balance.

Protection and cashback
Protection and cashback, automatic
$22,000 Protection Plan on every booking
Every booking on Petme includes up to $22,000 in vet expenses if something happens during the stay. The protection is automatic, has no deductible, and applies whether you book one drop-in visit or a two-week boarding. No claim form to fill out before the vet visit: open a ticket from inside the booking and Petme support coordinates with the clinic.
Automatic cashback, no signup, no opt-in
When a booking completes, cashback on every booking is credited to your Petme balance straight away. Use the balance toward your next booking, no expiry, no minimum. The more you book, the more comes back.

Local context
Booking a sitter in Philadelphia: what to know
Philadelphia runs humid summers and icy winters with road salt across rowhome blocks. Sitters rinse salt off paws between Center City stoops in winter, shift to early walks in July humidity, and watch for hot brick and asphalt in the densest neighborhoods. Boarding peaks over the winter holidays and the summer Shore-travel window, when families head to the Jersey Shore. Daily lunchtime walks run steady year-round for Center City and University City commuters.
