Yourgi, a trusted all-in-one pet care marketplace, has announced a partnership with Pet Care Insurance (PCI) to offer liability and pet injury coverage to every walker, sitter, and boarder who joins its platform. The collaboration supports Yourgi’s nationwide rollout, which currently includes Dallas/Fort Worth, Denver, Portland, Houston, and Boston, with expansion to other cities planned.
Through this partnership, all live Yourgi Pros will receive coverage that includes general liability, pet protection, veterinarian reimbursement, and optional equipment coverage. This mirrors the coverage profile that full-time pet professionals rely on, ensuring providers can accept work without worrying about gaps in protection. Claims covered range from broken bones during a run to allergic reactions, grooming accidents, and swallowed objects.
“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.”
Yourgi selected PCI to offer a stronger coverage model than what many online platforms currently provide. Other services often focus on the pet alone, leaving providers with fewer options when property damage or other incidents occur. Yourgi partnered with PCI to create a single policy that covers both the provider and the animals in their care for added protection.
“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.”
PCI covers more than 16,000 pet professionals across the country. As a pet-business-only insurer, PCI understands the risks of caring for animals and builds key protections like Animal Bailee and Veterinarian Reimbursement into every policy. Buying insurance online with PCI is quick and easy, and providers can contact PCI directly for support, claims help, or questions about specific situations they may face on the job.
The rollout of coverage across new and existing markets begins this month. Providers will see clear policy terms during onboarding. For more information about protecting a pet care business with PCI, visit Pet Care Insurance.

This partnership is significant for the pet care industry as it addresses a critical gap in protection for independent providers, potentially influencing other platforms to adopt similar comprehensive coverage models. For Yourgi, it strengthens trust with both providers and pet owners, supporting its expansion goals. For PCI, it expands its reach to a growing network of pet care professionals, reinforcing its position as a leading insurer for the pet care sector.
