Protecting you and every dog you care for, every step of the way.
From just €23.17 a month
You love what you do – spending your days with furry friends and exploring the great outdoors. But when you’re running a professional dog walking business, the unexpected can happen. A playful pup might cause a mishap, or a client’s keys could go missing. That’s where solid insurance comes in, giving you the confidence to focus on the wagging tails.
At CoverMy, we make getting the right protection for your dog walking business simple and stress-free. No jargon, no fuss, just straightforward cover designed for people like you.
Why do I need dog walking insurance?
While you’re a pro at handling pups, accidents can happen to anyone. A dog in your care might get injured, damage someone’s property, or you could face a legal claim. Without insurance, the cost of vet bills, repairs, or legal fees could come directly out of your pocket.
Think of it as your business’s safety net. It protects your finances and shows your clients you’re a true professional who takes their pet’s safety seriously. This peace of mind is priceless, both for you and for the pet owners who trust you.
