• Do I really need insurance ?

  Its up to you.
  Insurance is not legally necessary to look after pets in your own home.
  Without insurance you will be liable for anything bad that happens.
  For instance, a dog in your care slips its collar and chases a horse, causing the rider to fall off and be badly injured. Do you want to risk the legal costs and damages that could result?
  For instance, the veterinary costs if a dog in your care gets hit by a car? Even the most careful petsitter can have accidents!
  For instance, you lose a client's keys, and have to pay for all the locks to be replaced.
  How much is your peace of mind worth?

• How much will my insurance cost ?

  Insurance is included with membership of Petsitters Alliance.
  Most petsitters need Individual Standard Membership which costs £79 per annum
  If you do your petsitting in the owner's home, you will need Homesitting Membership to cover accidents or mishaps in the owner's home. Homesitting Membership costs £95 per annum.
  Agencies can cover themselves and all their petsitters. Cost depends on the number of petsitters.

• How many dogs will I get from the Booking Exchange ?

This depends entirely on how many clients are referred to us in your area, and the type of petsitter they would like.
