Protect Your Grooming, Day‑Care & Pet Care Business

At FLORIDA WE INSURE AGENCY, we know caring for pets isn’t just a job — it’s a commitment to safety, wellbeing, and trust. Whether you run a dog‑grooming salon in Tampa, a home‑based boarding facility near Jacksonville, or a pet daycare center in Sarasota, your business faces unique risks: handling animals, client liability, property damage, staff or public injuries, and more.

General Liability Insurance

Covers third‑party injury or property damage (such as a visitor slipping inside your salon, a dog escaping and causing harm, or a pet damaging a client’s property).

Animal Bailee / Pet Care Liability

Protects you if a pet in your care is injured, lost, or causes injury — critical for grooming and daycare operations.

Commercial Property & Contents Coverage

Insures your facility, grooming equipment, supplies, furniture, and client/pet‑related items against fire, theft, vandalism, storm damage, or other covered hazards.

Workers’ Compensation Insurance

Covers your staff in case of job‑related injuries (e.g. slips, bites, handling accidents) and protects your business from liability if staff get hurt on the job.

Business Interruption / Loss of Income Insurance

Helps cover lost revenue and ongoing expenses if your business must close temporarily due to a covered event (fire, major damage, etc.).

Umbrella / Excess Liability Insurance

Provides extra liability protection beyond standard policy limits — useful if you work with many clients, handle multiple pets, or have higher‑risk operations

Why Pet Services & Daycare Insurance Matters

When you care for animals, everyday tasks come with extra responsibility. From grooming mishaps, to escapes or bites, to pet illness or injury, to accidents on your premises — any incident could lead to claims for property damage, medical bills, or liability. Add in high customer foot traffic, equipment like bathing tubs or grooming tools, and potential weather risks if you operate near Florida’s coast, and you’ve got a heightened exposure.


Proper insurance isn’t optional — it’s essential. Pet Services Insurance gives you peace of mind so you can focus on caring for pets, rather than worrying about what happens if something goes wrong.

Pet Services & Daycare Insurance FAQs

  • Is pet services insurance required for a grooming or daycare business in Florida?

    It depends on licensing and local regulations. Often, local authorities, landlords, or clients require proof of liability and bailee coverage. Even if it’s not strictly required by law, insurance is essential — because caring for pets involves real risk.

  • What if a pet gets injured or escapes while in my care — will insurance cover that?

    Yes — if you carry animal‑bailee or pet‑care liability coverage, your policy can protect you from claims related to injury, loss, or damage involving pets under your care.

  • Does the insurance cover equipment, grooming supplies, and salon property?

    With commercial property and contents coverage, your facility, equipment, furnishings, and supplies are protected against fire, theft, vandalism, storm damage, and other covered perils.

  • Do I need workers’ compensation if I have employees?

    Yes — if you employ staff. Workers’ compensation protects both your employees and your business in case of job‑related injuries or illness.

  • What if I operate a small home‑based pet grooming or daycare — do I still need full coverage?

    Yes. Even small operations face liability, property, and pet‑care risks. We can tailor a policy that fits your scale while keeping coverage strong.
