We do not presume to teach people about how to care for pets; experience is a basic requirement of membership. We do however cover the practicalities of the work, and in particular we try to answer your “What happens if.......” questions. Please note we are not an agency and whilst it is not our function to provide you with work we do enlist your name, telephone number and the services you offer on the National Register of Petsitters so that subscribers can contact you direct; we also explain how best to promote your services economically. We are here to help you.

If you are already running your own Petsitting / Petcare / Dog Walking business etc as an individual the cost is the same and you will receive the same benefits including the visit from a NARP representative but this will take the form of an introduction to the Association together with any advice or help that you may need. If you are running an Agency or business with the help of staff/carers/helpers then please apply for NARP Agency membership (see membership types).

£2,000,000 Insurance

When you care for other peoples pets you need Insurance. We all hope that nothing will ever go wrong, but if it does, damages to people, property and animals could run to thousands of pounds and YOU could be held liable. Insurance brings peace of mind to you AND the owners who entrust you with their best friends. We have a group policy which covers all our members for Public Liability and Third Party Risks up to £2 million any one claim, including cover for pets in your care up to £5000.00. (An excess of £250 applies to pet injury/loss/damage claims. “Non” petsitting services such as Grooming, Training or Pet Taxi are not covered). As a member you will be covered under this NARP Group policy. A summary of benefits provided by this policy will be included in your Certificate of Membership.
