646: What Should Your Pet Sitting Insurance Really Cover?

Are you covered for what you actually do today—not what you did last year? We walk through our annual insurance review. We cover the "must-haves", when bonding makes sense, and why non-owned auto and business property matter once you add staff or an office. We also explain what petsitting business insurance does not cover—and how workers' comp and personal health insurance fit in. Finally, we share practical risk-management habits and the customer-service "intangibles" we expect from any insurer. Main topics: Core coverage essentials Care, custody & control Non-owned auto protection Workers' comp vs. health Risk management habits Main takeaway: "Insurance is not about fear. It's about good stewardship of the pets, of the homes, and the trust that the clients place in us." We build our business on trust, which means planning for real-world moments—not pretending they won't happen. The right coverage protects pets, homes, neighbors, employees, and yes, you. It also lets us say to clients with confidence: if something goes wrong, we have a plan and a policy. That's professional care, not hobby care—and it's why our annual insurance checkup matters.
