Why is it important that my animal care provider’s company be licensed, insured and bonded?
A. Portland Mutt Strut, LLC is a professional business licensed in the State of Oregon which means we pay taxes and must follow business ethics and legal requirements. We also carry specific pet sitters’ commercial liability insurance through Pet Sitters Associates, LLC, which covers bodily injury or property damage as well as loss, injury or death of your animal, limited emergency veterinary care, and lost key replacement. We also have an expanded bonded policy through Pet Sitters Associates, LLC, which means we are covered if an employee is convicted due to a dishonest act (standard bonding) or if we’re at fault for negligent acts by our employees in your home (expanded bonding). All of these important business policies and licenses guarantee that you are working with a professional business with strict ethics, principals and values. Please request a copy of our licenses and policies if you want more details and/or insurance coverage.
