Pet Sitter Insurance
Pet sitter insurance is a must, but who offers the best pet-sitter insurance?
This is one of the top questions we receive here at PSI. As the pet-sitting industry continues to grow, more pet-sitting insurance companies are entering the arena to offer coverage, and we understand comparing policies can be confusing and overwhelming.
While other pet-sitter insurance options have become available in recent years, PSI partners with the companies below because they offer the most comprehensive and reliable coverage at premiums that won't break the bank for professional pet sitters. You can read PSI's latest insurance guide here.
Please note: Insurance coverage is not included with your PSI membership—but members of PSI have access to special group-rate insurance in the U.S. and Canada.
