Pet Business Insurance (PBI) covers a vast range of products, from dog walkers to groomers, pet-sitting services to boarders, and even horse sitters.
The expansion into the US will begin in the following twelve states: Arizona, Michigan, Minnesota, New Jersey, Connecticut, Florida, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Tennessee, Texas, and Utah.
Anja Cantillon, Director at PBI, commented: “We’re thrilled to enter the North American market and begin supporting the full range of pet businesses in the US. We’re proud to support the businesses that care for our growing fur families, and making policies accessible with high-quality, low-premium plans is a key part of our commitment.”
The global pet-sitting market is rapidly growing and is expected to double to $5.1 billion by 2030, with the US accounting for $1.6 billion of this. However, despite 66% of households owning pets in the US, the pet insurance market is largely unexplored.
PBI was founded in the UK in 2000 and operates in Australia, Ireland, Spain, Sweden, the UK, and now the US. Channel partners include the Kennel Club in the UK and pet sitters’ associations in Europe and Australia.
PBI offers comprehensive coverage including general liability, accidents, and injury to and loss of animals, with optional extras such as professional liability, equipment coverage, and animal illness insurance. Coverage is open to anyone aged 16 and older who cares for third-party animals.
PBI offers ease, affordability, and reliability when it comes to selecting the best-in-class pet business insurance offering. The company is known for the immediacy of its instant quoting.
Chavanne Lyon, a customer of Dino Experience, said: “Pet Business Insurance has been a pleasure to work with. The team is responsive and helpful, offering fair pricing and fast customer service. Highly recommended in our industry.”
PBI has 20 years of industry experience and a 96% claims payout rate, and the company is resolutely committed to providing efficient claims handling specifically tailored to the unique needs of pet businesses.
