Most insurance agencies can serve the pet industry.
Very few can understand it.
 

Pet Industry Insurance was built on a simple belief:
Pet-care businesses deserve an insurance advisor who actually lives the world they work in.
 

I’m not just an insurance producer - I’m a lifelong animal-welfare advocate, foster, rescue founder, and pet parent who has spent the last decade inside the industry you serve. I’ve cleaned kennels, bottle-fed puppies, coordinated transports, worked with overwhelmed shelters, and partnered with boarding facilities, groomers, rescues, and veterinarians.
 

I know your risks because I’ve lived your reality - the long hours, the compassion fatigue, the “please let this dog be okay” moments, and the absolute joy of sending pets home safe.
 

That perspective shapes everything we do here.
 

Independent Agency Advantage

Your business deserves better than a one-company solution.
 

Unlike captive or direct insurance companies who can only offer their own proprietary products, we are 100% independent.

That means:

• We work for you, not an insurance company.

• We search multiple carriers to find coverage that fits your business.

• We understand the nuances between different policy forms, exclusions, and endorsements.

• We can tailor solutions to how you actually operate - not how a one-size-fits-all policy thinks you operate.
   

Insurance is too important to gamble on a single company’s product lineup.
An independent agency gives you options, transparency, and flexibility - especially as your pet-care business grows or shifts.

​

Why That Matters for Pet Businesses

Pet professionals face unique risks — dogs in your care, unpredictable behaviors, live animals with medical needs, multiple staff handling high-energy situations, exposure to illness, complex operations, emotional clients, and the reality that one bad day can become a very bad claim.

Most insurance agents don’t understand the difference between:

• supervised vs. unsupervised play

• medical boarding vs. standard boarding

• sedation protocols at grooming salons

• isolation rooms

• transport liability

• surrender prevention

• handling protocols for reactive dogs

• the emotional weight of the work

• ​

But you do.
And so do I.

​

That makes the entire conversation easier, clearer, and more productive - no explaining, no oversimplifying, no educating your insurance agent on how your business works.

I already speak your language.

Independent Agent vs. Captive Agent

Why Choose an Independent Advisor?

Independent Agency (Us):

• Access to multiple carriers

• Tailored solutions for your business

• Objective, non-biased guidance

• Customized risk assessments

• Ongoing support as your operations grow

• Deep industry understanding (pet boarding, grooming, daycare, rescues, veterinary, shelters)
   

Captive or Direct Agent:

• Limited to one company’s products

• Often higher premiums due to lack of market comparison

• Less flexibility as your business evolves

• Little to no pet-industry expertise

• One-size-fits-all solutions
   

When you’re responsible for people’s pets — their family — you deserve more than a checkbox insurance program.
You deserve a partner.

A Partner Who Understands Your Mission

I started Day of the Dogs in 2015 because I couldn’t ignore the gap between what shelters needed and what they had.

Since then, I’ve:

• fostered hundreds of dogs

• coordinated rescue transports

• helped shelters with urgent cases

• partnered with boarding/daycare facilities

• worked first-hand with veterinarians, techs, and groomers

• built donation programs for animal nonprofits
   

This work shaped my heart — and my approach to insurance.
Pet Industry Insurance isn’t just a business for me.
It’s a continuation of the mission I started years ago:
helping the helpers who save and care for animals.

​

Proactive, Personal, Pet-Driven Insurance

What truly separates one insurance advisor from another is:

• their ability to proactively support clients

• their depth of market knowledge

• their understanding of industry-specific risks

• their availability when things go wrong

• and their willingness to go the extra mile
   

My clients trust me because I’m not guessing at their risks . . . I already know them. And I care deeply about protecting the good work they do.
