Bonded Pet Sitter vs Employee Dishonesty Coverage

Compare bonds and Pet Care Insurance’s employee dishonesty coverage.

Pet sitters use a bond to protect themselves from dishonest acts of their employees, but there are other ways this can be accomplished without a bond and that is through Employee Dishonesty insurance coverage.

Although PCI can offer an employee dishonesty bond on a stand alone policy, we also provide an employee dishonesty coverage to protect your business from the actions of a dishonest employee. So what is the difference between a employee dishonesty insurance coverage and a Employee Dishonesty Bond?

Employee dishonesty coverage:

  • Can be purchased in the same transaction
  • Doesn’t run credit checks
  • Provides $10,000 per occurrence and $25,000 aggregate coverage

Bonds may differ from our dishonesty coverage by:

  • Checking your credit during the application process
  • Having a “Conviction Claus;” Often bonds won’t pay on claims unless there is a conviction
  • Many require you to reimbursement the bonding company after a claim is paid
