so if you come home and find out she has stolen twenty thousand worth of your jewelry and electronics, you will be able to go after her bonding company to recover up to the amount of the bond. To get its money back, the bonding company may sic a bounty hunter on her. So it's sort of like another layer of insurance coverage, especially if her insurance coverage doesn't cover the particular act or negligence she performed OR she doesn't have enough coverage to cover the damages she did. Bonds tend to cover damages from criminal acts, while insurance usually excludes coverage for criminal acts. Insurance is usually only for negligence, not for criminal acts or intentional acts. For example, a neighbor's daughter got into a bar fight with another girl and cut her eye with a beer bottle. At first the neighbor breathed a sigh of relief because she had homeowner's insurance. But then I told her that her homeowner's insurance company would probably deny coverage because the fight was an intentional act rather than a negligent act. Sure enough, her insurer did deny coverage and my neighbor's husband ended up having to dip into his pension savings to come up with the money to pay the other girl's damages.

she's fantastic, we've used her for years. She's not licensed and bonded, but she loves our dogs and is extremely competent. I would go with the one you know. Or send her out here for a year or two lol.

I just interviewed a pet sitter for the week we will be gone next month and that is one the thing I wanted was someone bonded and insured. She also carries insurance that covers the home if they damage something in the house.

I have another person I could interview...but I really liked the gal that came on Friday. She is also a licensed trainer/behaviorist.

I think so that if something happens while they are in the house they have insurance to cover them. Mine isn't that pricey, I did have one that was though and she ove time got comfortable with me and the dogs, and didn't do what I asked her to. This one is new, but she keeps a daily log of each pet and lets me know what they are doing. I do travel because my son plays baseball and we go see him a lot. My dogs love her and she stays overnight too.

similar to an insurance but more for protection against theft. Also it can be used to guarantee work will be done. The company is probably bonded for theft so if their employee steals something they are covered and you are covered. the insurance is more of a liability policy say for any damage that would occur as a result of their actions.

But I am pretty sure it means they don't have a criminal record, and are leagally allowed to work in the state.

If someone you trust says someone is good, if it were me I would go with them over a stranger who is bonded.

too bad you don't live closer I'd babysit Gretl anytime!
