Yourgi, a pet care marketplace, 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, announced on May 20, 2026, supports Yourgi’s nationwide rollout by providing built-in insurance to all live Yourgi Pros, allowing providers to accept work without worrying about gaps in protection.
Pet care brings significant responsibility, and many independent providers operate without any safety net. PCI’s program is designed to give people coverage that matches the risks they face during daily work, according to Robert Lisiecki, director of marketing operations & strategy at PCI. “Yourgi shares that mindset. Their team wants providers to have the tools and protection they need from the moment they take their first booking,” he said.
PCI currently covers more than 16,000 pet professionals across the country. Policies include general liability, pet protection coverage, veterinarian reimbursement, and optional equipment coverage. Claims range from broken bones during a run to allergic reactions, grooming accidents, and swallowed objects. Yourgi users will receive the same coverage profile that full-time pet professionals rely on.
Yourgi selected PCI to offer a stronger coverage model than what many online platforms currently provide. Other services often focus solely on the pet, leaving providers with fewer options when property damage or other incidents occur. The partnership creates a single policy covering 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.”
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 they may face on the job.
Yourgi is a trusted, all-in-one pet care marketplace offering boarding, daycare, dog walking, grooming, house sitting, veterinary care, and training. Every caregiver is background-checked, and the Yourgi rewards program lets pet parents earn points on every booking. Yourgi is live in Dallas/Fort Worth, Denver, Portland, Houston, and Boston, with expansion to other cities nationwide soon.
