Dog Walking \ Sitting Insurance

stevec59

Hi, I posted this in the insurance section but someone said post here.
I have my own Sole Trader company Caring for people, some of them are asking me to walk their dog or sit with the dog or feed cat etc, the Care Insurance i have doesn't cover me for this, I don't think I''l be doing a lot of this type of work so want cheap insurance that covers Liability and Personal Cover, best I can find is £5.62 per month, OK i't not a lot, over the year it's over £60 so it would take a few walks to pay for it's self.
Anyone know of cheap insurance for Walking \ feeding \ sitting?

Many Thanks

Steve

Try this Broker who specialise in Animal Business Insurance:- https://www.cliverton.co.uk/

No idea if they can find you a cheap(er) policy though.

Thanks for that, the cheapest I could get from them was £120. I'll talk to my clients and try to find out how much they are going to need me to walk their Dogs to see if its worth me going ahead with it, chances are that they just want it over the winter, so I'll see and decide from there.

Many Thanks

How much would you charge for a dog walk? Locally the charge is £9/£10 per hour so one walk would cover £5.62

pet sitting is £20 for up to 4 hours for one pet then £5 per hour after that.

All plus 45 per mile travelling costs.
