The cashback maths

What you actually save on a typical booking

Worked example: a 5-night dog-boarding stay in Los Angeles 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.

Comparison

Petme vs other US platforms

Limited or paywalled vet protection. Some platforms cap medical reimbursement at $1,000–$5,000.

Sitter matching rotates you through whoever is available. No same-sitter guarantee.

Petme

Pet owners pay 0% on Petme. The sitter sets the rate, you pay only the rate.

Up to 5% cashback on every completed booking, paid into your Petme balance instantly.

$20,000 in vet expenses included on every booking, no deductible, no upcharge.

Protection and cashback

Protection and cashback, automatic

$20,000 vet protection on every booking

Every booking on Petme includes up to $20,000 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, up to 5% cashback 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 Los Angeles: what to know

LA splits into a Westside (cool, marine-layer mornings) and Eastside (10 to 15 degrees hotter inland) within the same metro. Sitters charge per-mile or per-neighborhood, and almost everyone drives to the booking. Boarding spikes around film-industry hiatus weeks (mid-December to early January, July), pilot-season travel (January to March), and major awards weekends. Drop-ins and walks run steady year-round on the Westside.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Are pet sitters in Los Angeles really vetted?

Yes. Every Petme sitter in Los Angeles 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 Los Angeles bookings?

When you complete a booking with a sitter in Los Angeles, 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 Los Angeles?

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 Los Angeles 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 Los Angeles-specific rules I should know?

California requires no state pet-sitter licence. City of LA business tax registration is required once gross receipts exceed $100,000 a year. Most beaches (Santa Monica, Venice) ban dogs; Long Beach Rosie's Dog Beach is the closest legal off-leash beach.

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.
