Seems like every week or two I read a headline online about a pet sitter or dog walker claim that makes me pause and say "he or she did what?" Fortunately, many of these are not claims from PSI members, but they do get people's attention and also give the pet-sitting industry a bad wrap. And unfortunately, there have been a few claims from PSI members that are similar from which we can all learn. So for this briefing, let's take a look at some of the Do's and Don't's when it comes to being a true professional pet sitter. And if you utilize employees or independent contractors in your business, I highly recommend sharing this information with them so you can prevent future claims like this in your business.
Most of you are aware of the many optional endorsements available under the PSI Liability policy, including In-Home Boarding/Daycare, Dog Training, Pet Grooming, and House Sitting, but did you know we now offer separate policies specifically for other types of Pet related services such as Therapy Dog Handlers and Pet Food/Treats Distributors and Manufacturers? Both of these products are unique in scope so for this briefing, I would like to share what each covers and what is required in underwriting to obtain a policy at reduced rates.
