What is pet sitting insurance?
Pet sitting insurance is a specialist cover designed to protect those who care for other people’s pets. Having the right insurance for pet sitting means you’re financially protected if something goes wrong, like if a pet gets injured, property is damaged, or you lose a client’s keys.
Why do I need pet sitting insurance?
When you’re responsible for someone else’s pet, there’s always a chance that something could go wrong. For example, if a pet in your care gets sick, injured or hurts someone you might end up paying the bill if you don’t have insurance.
What does pet sitting insurance cover?
Our tailored pet sitting business insurance policies include essential protection such as:
- Public Liability – Sometimes called ‘pet sitting liability insurance’, public liability covers you if a pet in your care accidentally injures someone or damages their property. It’s your safety net, handling legal fees and compensation claims so you can run your pet sitting business with confidence.
- Care, Custody & Control of Animals – Protects you if a pet becomes ill, is injured, goes missing, or sadly passes away while under your care. This cover can help with vet bills or compensation, giving clients peace of mind when they trust you with their pets.
- Professional Indemnity – Covers claims and legal fees if a customer says you made a mistake or gave incorrect advice while looking after their pet.
- Employers’ Liability – Covers legal and compensation costs if an employee is injured or becomes ill while working for you, for example while walking a dog or cleaning up after pets.
