The cashback maths
What a 5-night booking in Chinatown actually costs
Worked example at the Chinatown median nightly rate ($78 per night, source: Petme telemetry, 2026). The sitter sets the same rate either way; the difference is what each platform stacks on top.
| Line item | Petme | Typical platforms |
|---|---|---|
| Sitter rate (5 × $78) | $390 | $390 |
| Pet-owner service fee | $0 | ~$41 |
| Cashback earned | −$12 | n/a |
| Effective cost | $378 | $431 |
The right-hand column is a typical owner-side service fee on platforms that charge one; each publishes its current fees and cover on its own site. $22,000 Protection Plan is included in the Petme price. Walks in Chinatown run $22–$32 per 30 minutes.
