It was a dark and stormy night when Fido went for his walk. There was something off about this walk. As he neared his favorite tree, something shuddered behind it. He carefully snuck up on it and CHOMP! He ate a poisonous Mushroom. Other than being in a panic and shocked about the ordeal, what’s a dog walker to do? Luckily that’s where dog walking insurance comes in and we’re here to explain how it works.

At PCI, we care about our customers and understand the industry well enough to know what types of coverages to provide for our insureds. Our policy includes a wide range of coverages fit for your pet business. We broke down a few coverages for your information:
General Liability Coverage: This type of coverage responds to bodily injury and property damage claims you are legally held liable for. Depending on the situation, your policy could respond to the financial damages and you don’t have to worry about the expensive strain a lawsuit could bring.
Animal Bailee Coverage: You bear legal responsibility for any injury that happens to a pet in your care and it can be ruff. Animal bailee coverage responds to injuries or damages sustained by an animal in your care.
Medical Expense Coverage: Accidents can occur on the job and medical expense coverage can respond to those instances. PCI’s policy has a $5,000 limit.
Vet Expense Reimbursement: From an unwanted scratch to playing too hard at the park, veterinarians have seen it all. In the event you need to take the doggo to the vet’s office, vet expense reimbursement is designed to cover medical expenses up to $1,000 per occurrence.
Lost Key Liability Coverage: The dog walking business requires carrying keys and you may lose one on the job. It could cost you between $100-$300 to pay a locksmith to rekey the home. Lost key liability coverage is designed to cover up to $2,000.
