Dog Walker Question?

[MurphysMinder]

No , I am not thinking of using one but my brother is looking into occasionally doing so . He has spoken to someone and received copy of t & cs . Is this normal re liability ?

13. The Client agrees that xxx cannot be held liable for any loss, injury or death of a pet before, during or after the animal/client has used a service

The walker has said they are insured .

I’m a dog Walker, fully insured and I am fully responsible for that dog whilst it’s in my care. And can be claimed against for injury, loss or death.

It would be interesting to see the wording of their insurance.

I wouldn’t be using that walker. If my dog got attacked by another dog, injured etc while in their care then I would be claiming.

He won’t be using them . He asked me what I thought and it seemed strange to me but I wondered if it was a normal clause .

Odd. Mine has public liability insurance, which is more for others than her, if the dogs were to run across the road or something. I wouldn't use that one either.

Would not touch with a barge pole.

If they had decent references (that I could check) and proof of insurance it wouldn't worry me. Disclaimers mean nothing, pretty much the same as going to a riding school and signing a thing saying you know riding is a risk sport. All comes down to proof of liability in the end.

I wouldn't use them chances are they don't even have insurance hence the disclaimer.
