What Is Dog Walkers Insurance?

Insurance for dog walkers helps protect your dog walking business from damages and defense cost arising from a claim as a result of your business operations. A Pet Care Insurance (PCI) policy does this through coverages such as animal bailee, general liability, and reimbursement for vet bills.

How Much Does Dog Walkers Insurance Cost?

The basic dog walkers insurance policy from PCI starts at $139/year. However, there are optional coverages that you can add to your policy for an additional premium. For example, you can add PCI's employee dishonesty coverage, which is a coverage that operates similar to bonding.

Do I Need Dog Walkers Insurance?

A responsible dog walking business includes having a current dog walking insurance policy. If you're not insured and a pet in your care, custody, or control is hit by a car, becomes sick, or sustains another injury, you'll be glad you had insurance to cover medical bills, legal costs, and any other financial expenses.
