Become a Sitter →Finally a platform that shows the fees before I commit. No checkout sticker shock, no awkward conversations. Booked in under 2 minutes.
My sitter sent photo updates every few hours. Max has never looked happier staying with someone new. This is what pet care should feel like.
Way better calendar than Rover. I set up recurring weekly walks for two dogs in one tap. The scheduling UX is genuinely impressive.
We keep it simple. No fine print, no runaround.
Every sitter goes through a multi-step process: identity verification, a national background check (criminal and sex offender registry), and a profile review by our trust team before they can accept their first booking. We repeat background checks annually.
All bookings are backed by our Premium Protection policy — including up to $25,000 in veterinary cost coverage and a 24/7 support line. Disputes are handled by a dedicated resolution team within 48 hours, with auditable outcomes for both parties.
You always see the full breakdown before you book: the sitter's base rate, any add-ons (extra dogs, puppies), and the PetPair service fee. The service fee is a flat percentage, never a surprise. What you see at search is exactly what you pay at checkout.
Refund terms depend on the sitter's policy (Flexible, Moderate, or Strict), which is always shown before you book. Most sitters offer a full refund if you cancel 48+ hours in advance. Service fees are refunded in full for cancellations made within 24 hours of booking.
Four things: (1) We show all fees upfront — no checkout surprises. (2) Sitters get full transparency into how their ranking works — no black box. (3) Our scheduling tools are built for repeat bookings, not one-offs. (4) Two-sided reviews mean everyone is accountable, building a higher-quality community on both sides.
