Starting a Dog Walking Business

Choosing to take up dog walking is the perfect business for you – you want to work independently and you've always been fond of dogs, all breeds, all sizes. But before you make your first dog walking appointment, be sure you have pet business insurance.

Dog Walking Business Insurance

Pets are stolen, lost, injured, and even killed every day. A pet business insurance policy with general liability and defense costs coverage will protect you and keep you in business. Basic membership includes commercial general liability coverage and defense costs in addition to policy limits. You can also purchase add-on coverage for employees, pet grooming, pet daycare, house sitting, dog/cat obedience training, and more.
