Key Types of Cover You Should Consider

Insurance can feel like a maze of jargon, but it basically boils down to protecting three things: the pets, the public, and yourself. Here is a breakdown of what the Pet Business Insurance Partnership helps you cover:

1. Public Liability Insurance

This is the most important cover for any pet professional. If a dog in your care accidentally trips someone up or causes damage to a third party’s property, public liability insurance covers the legal costs and compensation. It is essential for dog walkers using public spaces.

2. Care, Custody, and Control

This specifically covers the animals that are in your care. If a pet is injured or lost while they are with you, this insurance helps cover vet bills or costs associated with the incident. It provides peace of mind for you and the pet owner alike. You can join our community to discuss more tips on pet safety with other professionals.

3. Loss of Keys and Property Damage

If you are a pet sitter or dog walker who holds keys to clients' homes, this cover is vital. It covers the cost of replacing locks if you lose a set of keys, ensuring the client's home remains secure. Easily manage your pet care business by having these safeguards in place from day one.
