Protect your business before your next booking

Insurance is not optional for professional pet sitters. Here are the two providers we recommend.

Thimble β€” On-Demand Insurance

Pay by the hour, day, or month. Includes animal bailee coverage β€” the gap most sitters don't know about. Instant Certificate of Insurance by email.

πŸ’‘

What is animal bailee coverage? Standard general liability policies exclude animals in your care under a "Care, Custody & Control" exclusion β€” meaning they do NOT cover a pet that is injured, lost, or dies while in your care. Animal bailee coverage removes this exclusion. Always confirm your policy includes it before taking on paid clients.

Things pet sitters ask us

Can't find your answer? Email us and we'll get back to you within 24 hours.

Yes β€” unlimited personal business use. Purchase once and use the same document for every client you ever have. Open the PDF, use File β†’ Save As with the client and pet name, fill in their details, and send. The only restriction is you cannot resell or share the documents with other pet sitters.
Both parties type their full legal name in the signature field on the last page. Under the US E-SIGN Act (2000), a typed name entered in good faith is a legally valid electronic signature. No DocuSign, no printing, no scanning needed. The completed saved PDF with both names is your signed agreement.
No special app needed. The fillable PDF works in Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Adobe Acrobat Reader (free), and Preview on Mac β€” all free, no account required. Click any field to type, click any checkbox to tick. Save and email when done.
Yes β€” it is not optional. Once you accept payment for pet care you are personally liable for anything that goes wrong. A dog bite, a lost pet, or property damage can cost thousands of dollars out of your own pocket. General liability insurance with animal bailee coverage costs as little as $36/month and protects your personal assets. We recommend getting covered before your very next paid booking.
Due to the instant-download nature of digital products we do not offer refunds after download. If you experience a technical issue β€” a file that won't open, a missing document, or anything else β€” email us at support@petsittervault.com and we will resolve it immediately.
