Why dog walkers need insurance
Dog walking business insurance protects you when accidents happen — both dog owners and injured third parties can sue you. It provides liability coverage for incidents that result in property damage or bodily injury during the course of your work, plus professional liability for claims of negligence in your services.
- If you work for a pet-care company, its coverage typically applies only while you're on the clock for them — and they may not share the details.
- Your own independent policy means you know your exact limits and are always covered, including side jobs.
- Thimble offers policy limits of $1 million or $2 million, selectable to your needs.
