On VettedTails your client pays exactly your price — $0 booking fee. Every competitor figure below holds that same total client spend: their owner-side fees come out of it first, so less of the same money reaches the listing.
Held equal on purpose: same out-of-pocket for your client on both platforms — the difference shows up in $ take home. A parent-side fee makes rebooking pricier for your clients; on VettedTails there is none, and rebooking is what drops your fee.
Of every dollar your client spends, 82¢ reaches you here vs 72¢ on Rover.
Same client budget on both sides — that's the point. On Rover, its ~11% owner fee (capped at $50) comes off the top of that budget before the listing, so less of the same money reaches you.

The platform's cut, all-in · at this same client spend
- VettedTails
- $4.50 · 18% · your fee only — no owner fee to hide
- Rover
- $6.98 · 31% · Standard + $2.48 owner fees
Rover's advertised rate is only its sitter-side fee — the pet parent also pays ~11% owner fee (capped at $50), so a “Standard” booking really sends 31% of its listing price to Rover. Each share is of that platform's own listing price, as published, July 2026.
Like those numbers?
Sitters keep 82% → 85% → 90% → 94% as clients rebook — and their clients never pay a booking fee, which makes rebooking an easy yes.
