Why Pawly exists
The pet care industry charges too much.
On a $50 booking, Rover pays a sitter just $30.60 — and then charges the owner an additional $5.50 "booking fee" on top. That's nearly $25 vanishing from a $55.50 owner payment. Pawly splits 12% total — full stop.

Based on a $50 nightly booking. Rover charges owners an 11% booking fee on top of the posted rate. Wag charges 40% to sitters plus service fees to owners.
"Your sitter earned $30.60 for watching your dog all night.
We think they deserve $44."
Pawly's 12% fee is split between owner (6%) and caregiver (6%). Everyone sees exactly what they pay.

Early testers
Real people. Real savings.
"I showed my Rover sitter what they were making vs. what I was paying. They were shocked — $30 for an overnight stay? We both switched to Pawly immediately."
Alicia L.
Dog owner, Portland OR
"I do this full-time. Rover was taking $800/month from my earnings. With Pawly I get to keep it. That's rent money. This is not a small thing for me."
Derek M.
Dog caregiver, Denver CO
"The loyalty fee drop is a genuinely smart idea. We always rebook the same sitter anyway — the fact that the fee actually goes down each time feels like a company that respects customers."
