What does Pet Sitting Insurance cover?

Both General Liability and Professional Liability coverage are included in the pet sitter’s policy. The General Liability Insurance for pet sitters arranged by Thimble is designed to respond to incidents involving bodily injury and property damage, and legal fees and medical coverage associated with the claim. Professional Liability Insurance arranged by Thimble for pet sitters protects your business from any claims of errors & omissions or negligence.

Injury

Third-party, non-employee bodily injury

While you are outside walking a client’s dog, a neighbor approaches and tries to pet him. The dog becomes aggressive and bites the neighbor.

Property Damage Icon

Third-party property damage

While out for a walk, the dog knocks over an expensive planter outside of a chic coffee shop. It smashes into a million pieces, and the coffee shop holds you accountable. Woof.

Defense

Defense costs

Your client claims that your poor grooming job caused her show pup to lose out on the $10,000 grand prize at The Kennel Club Dog Show. General Liability can help you cover the legal costs of defending the claim.
