The cashback maths

What you actually save on a typical booking

Worked example: a 5-night dog-boarding stay in Wichita 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 Wichita: what to know

Wichita has hot, humid summers and cold winters, with strong wind and the occasional severe storm typical of the southern plains. Sitters walk early or late in summer heat, watch for ice and wind chill in winter, and keep an eye on storm warnings. Demand peaks over the summer travel season and the winter holidays, with a bump tied to Wichita State University's calendar, and boarding plus drop-in visits leading as owners leave town.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Are pet sitters in Wichita really vetted?

Yes. Every Petme sitter in Wichita 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 Wichita bookings?

When you complete a booking with a sitter in Wichita, 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 Wichita?

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 Wichita 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 Wichita-specific rules I should know?

Kansas does not license pet sitters or dog walkers at the state level; you operate as a sole proprietor and report self-employment income on Schedule C. Wichita requires dogs to be leashed or confined in public, and pet-care earnings are 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.
