There are many insurance options which would benefit your dog walking business, and public liability is one of the most significant. This protects you if one of your canine charges escapes their leash and bites a member of the public. These sorts of claims can cost a small fortune, but the public liability cover included in our standard dog walkers insurance means you won’t be responsible for paying any of the resulting expenses. Our automatic package also protects against financial loss, legal expenses, and more.
Other relevant insurance policy for any dog walking business is employer’s liability, a legal requirement for anybody who employs staff. This means that, if you employ dogwalkers across your local area, you would be insured in the event of any injury befalling them. Here at Tradesman Saver we have all the coverage you may need.
