Yourgi, a pet care marketplace connecting pet owners with local providers for services such as dog walking, in-home visits, and boarding, has announced a partnership with Pet Care Insurance (PCI) to offer built-in liability and pet injury coverage to every walker, sitter, and boarder on its platform. The collaboration supports Yourgi's nationwide expansion, ensuring providers can accept work with comprehensive protection from the start.
Under the partnership, all active Yourgi Pros will receive coverage that includes general liability, pet protection, veterinarian reimbursement, and optional equipment coverage. This coverage mirrors policies used by full-time pet professionals and addresses risks such as accidental injuries, allergic reactions, and property damage. The partnership aims to fill gaps in coverage often found on other platforms, which may focus solely on the pet and leave providers exposed.
“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.” PCI covers more than 16,000 pet professionals across the country.
Yourgi selected PCI to offer a stronger coverage model than what many online platforms currently provide. “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.” The single policy covers both the provider and the animals in their care for added protection.
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.
