Understanding Insurance
Understanding insurance doesnāt have to be complicated. Whether youāre a pet guardian planning a booking or a pet sitter building your business, this guide explains the most common types of insurance you may encounter so you can make informed decisions with confidence.
Pet Sitter Insurance
Pet sitter insurance is designed to help protect professional pet sitters while theyāre caring for someone elseās beloved pet. Depending on the policy, it may include professional liability, commercial general liability, care, custody and control coverage, and other protections related to providing pet care services. Coverage varies between policies and providers.
Booking Insurance
Booking insurance provides coverage relating to the booking itself. Much like travel insurance, booking insurance may help protect against certain financial losses if a booking cannot proceed as planned, such as if a pet guardian or pet sitter becomes ill before the booking begins. The scope of coverage will depend on the policy.
Pet Insurance
Pet insurance is purchased by pet guardians to help cover eligible veterinary expenses if their pet becomes ill or injured. Depending on the policy, some plans may also include coverage for preventative or routine care. Coverage varies between providers and policies, so itās important to review the details carefully before choosing a plan.
