Protecting the businesses pets call their home away from home

Looking after someone else’s dog is a big responsibility. Whether it’s for a weekend away or an extended holiday, pet owners trust you to provide a safe, comfortable and caring environment for a much-loved member of their family.

Running a boarding kennel is incredibly rewarding, but it also comes with unique risks. From caring for multiple dogs each day to managing staff, facilities and specialised equipment, there’s a lot to think about behind the scenes.

At Petcover Australia, we’re pet people too. As specialist insurance brokers with over 50 years of experience in the animal industry, we’ll help you find insurance solutions tailored to your boarding kennel, so you can focus on giving every guest the best possible stay.

Insurance solutions for boarding kennels

Every boarding kennel is different, which is why we’ll take the time to understand your business and help arrange insurance that suits the way you operate.

Workers’ compensation

If you employ staff or engage assistants to help care for the animals in your facility, employers’ liability insurance can help protect your business should someone suffer a work-related injury.

Public liability insurance

Public liability insurance can help protect your business against claims for injury to third parties or damage to their property arising from your business activities. Whether it’s a visitor on your premises or an unexpected incident involving a dog in your care, this cover can help protect your business against the resulting claim.

Care, custody & control

One of the most important covers for boarding kennels, this insurance helps protect your business if a dog is injured, becomes ill, goes missing or dies while in your care, custody or control, subject to the policy terms and conditions.

Building and contents

From kennels and fencing to office equipment, bedding, cleaning equipment, stock and other business assets, we can help arrange insurance to protect the equipment and property your business relies on every day.

Optional additional insurance add ons

Professional indemnity

If your boarding kennel also provides professional services such as behavioural advice, training or pet care consultations for a fee, professional indemnity insurance can help protect your business against claims arising from that advice.

Cyber liability

Many boarding kennels rely on online booking systems, customer databases, vaccination records and electronic payment systems. Cyber liability insurance can help protect your business against cyber attacks, data breaches and the costs associated with recovering your systems.

Cyber liability

Many dog day care businesses rely on online bookings, customer databases, vaccination records and electronic payment systems. Cyber liability insurance can help protect your business against cyber attacks, data breaches and the costs associated with recovering your systems.

Business interruption

If an insured event temporarily prevents your boarding kennel from operating, business interruption insurance may help cover ongoing operating expenses and lost income while your business recovers.

Theft & money

Insurance can be arranged to help protect your business against the theft of business contents, equipment, stock and money, helping minimise the financial impact of unexpected losses.

Management liability

If your boarding kennel operates as a company, management liability insurance can help protect directors, owners and managers against certain claims arising from the management of the business, including employment-related matters and regulatory investigations.

Personal accident insurance

If you or a key member of your team are unable to work due to an accidental injury, personal accident insurance can provide financial support while you recover.
