## What is Petme?

You meet the person. Then you book.

Every pet sitter and dog walker on Petme has a real social profile: their posts, their home, their own pets, the way they care for animals every day. By the time you book, you already know who's opening the door for your pet.

Every booking includes
- Access to the Petme Protection Plan: up to $20,000 in vet support
- 24/7 support from real humans, never bots
- No platform fees: you pay the sitter's rate, nothing on top
- Cashback after every completed booking
- Photo and video updates while you're away

Care for every pet
- Dog walking, boarding, house sitting, doggy daycare, and drop-in visits
- Cat sitters too: drop-in visits are made for cats and independent pets
- Every sitter is ID-verified and background-checked
- Message sitters first, follow their feeds, and read reviews from pet parents like you

How it works
1. Sign up free in 30 seconds, no card required
2. Browse sitters near you and explore their profiles
3. Message them and follow their day-to-day on their feed
4. Book and pay securely, then earn cashback after every completed stay
5. Follow your pet's day through updates on your sitter's feed

Why pet parents stay
Trust starts before the booking: you see the person, not just a rating. The price you see is the price you pay. And every time you book, Petme gives some of it back.

For pet sitters
Offer walking, boarding, house sitting, daycare, or drop-in visits. Your profile feed shows pet parents who you really are. Post actively and get discovered locally. Keep up to 90% of what you earn.

### 1/5 — Borderline harassed

*2026-08-25*

The number of notifications I get from this app to remind me to apply is f-ing annoying. It’s like two per hour. I would have loved to apply but have decided to go with another platform. I don’t see how a legitimate app and service would  borderline harass its users like that
