Yourgi, an all-in-one pet care marketplace, has announced a partnership with Pet Care Insurance (PCI) to provide built-in liability and pet injury coverage to every walker, sitter, and boarder on its platform. The collaboration, announced on May 20, 2026, is designed to support Yourgi's nationwide rollout and address a critical gap in protection for independent pet care providers.
Pet owners use Yourgi to hire local providers for services such as dog walking, in-home visits, and boarding. Through the partnership, all active Yourgi Pros will receive coverage that includes general liability, pet protection, veterinarian reimbursement, and optional equipment coverage. This allows providers to accept work without worrying about gaps in their protection.
“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.”
PCI currently covers more than 16,000 pet professionals nationwide. Claims under their policies range from broken bones during a walk to allergic reactions, grooming accidents, and swallowed objects. Yourgi users will receive the same coverage profile that full-time pet professionals rely on, a move that distinguishes the platform from others that focus solely on the pet, leaving providers exposed for property damage or other incidents.
“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.”
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 and claims help. For more information on protecting a pet care business, visit Pet Care Insurance.

Yourgi, available at yourgi.com and through its app, operates in Dallas/Fort Worth, Denver, Portland, Houston, and Boston, with expansion to other cities planned.
