Is HeyDog free for pet owners in New York?

Accepted Answer

Yes — HeyDog is 100% free for pet owners. There are no platform fees, no service fees, and no subscriptions. You connect directly with local providers across New York and pay them directly. The only processing fee is Stripe's standard 2.9% + $0.30 on online payments.

Question 2

How is HeyDog different from Rover or Wag?

Accepted Answer

According to their published pricing pages (as of early 2026), Rover charges pet owners a service fee and Wag takes a commission from providers. HeyDog charges zero platform fees — ever. We're a free directory where providers keep 100% of what they earn. Think of it like the Yellow Pages for pet care.
