Why the total is lower

Two reasons your total cost is always lower

No fee plus cashback: every booking costs less upfront and earns credit toward the next one.

Cashback lowers costs on every booking

No promo codes or loyalty cards needed. Every completed booking on Petme automatically credits cashback to your account, with no minimum spend. Your effective pet sitting costs go down with every booking.

Applied automatically

What you see is always what you pay

Petme does not add service fees, booking fees, or processing fees at checkout. The rate on the sitter's profile is the total. No amount appears at checkout that was not already visible on the listing.
