Yourgi Partners with Pet Care Insurance to Provide Built-In Coverage for Pet Care Providers
Yourgi has partnered with Pet Care Insurance to offer liability and pet injury coverage to all providers on its platform, aiming to raise industry standards and protect both pets and providers.
Yourgi, an all-in-one pet care marketplace, has announced a partnership with Pet Care Insurance (PCI) to provide built-in liability and pet injury coverage to every walker, sitter, and boarder who joins its platform. The partnership supports Yourgi's nationwide rollout, offering coverage to all live Yourgi Pros so they can accept work without worrying about gaps in protection.
Pet owners hire local providers for dog walking, in-home visits, and boarding through the Yourgi app. The coverage, provided by PCI, includes general liability, pet protection coverage, veterinarian reimbursement, and optional equipment coverage. Claims can range from broken bones during a run to allergic reactions, grooming accidents, and swallowed objects. Yourgi users will receive the same coverage profile that full-time pet professionals rely on.
“Pet care brings real responsibility, and many independent providers work without any safety net,” said Robert Lisiecki, director of marketing operations & strategy at PCI. “We built our program to give people coverage that matches the risks they face during daily work. Yourgi shares that mindset. Their team wants providers to have the tools and protection they need from the moment they take their first booking.”
Yourgi selected PCI to give its community a stronger coverage model than what many online platforms currently offer. Other services focus on the pet alone, leaving providers with fewer options when property damage or other incidents occur. Yourgi partnered with PCI to create a single policy that covers both the provider and the animals in their care for added protection.
“This partnership supports our goal to raise the standard for local pet care,” said Scott Bramble, President of Yourgi. “People trust our platform with their homes and their pets. Providers deserve the same level of trust from us. Working with PCI makes that possible. They understand the pace, demands and unpredictability of hands-on pet work.”
Both companies will roll out coverage across new and existing markets this month. Providers will see clear policy terms during onboarding and can contact PCI directly for support, claims help, or questions about specific situations they may face on the job.
PCI covers more than 16,000 pet professionals across the country. For more information about protecting a pet care business with PCI, visit Pet Care Insurance. Yourgi is available at yourgi.com and on the Yourgi app for iOS and Android.
