That insurance will not cover your home and even if I have that insurance, my homeowners co said they would not insure my home if I ran a boarding business from the house.

Unfortunately, even though I can get additional insurance to cover pets and business, my insurance co still told me they would drop me due to running a boarding business from home. I contacted 14 companies and they all said the same thing...they would not write a policy for my home with dog business

It looks like I am going to close down my business. Been doing this since 2014 and didn't realize this could happen. Without homeowner's insurance, your mortgage company will cancel your loan. I guess most people aren't telling their insurance company what they are doing. It is too risky not to tell

My homeowner's insurance dropped me completely and I can't find another to write me a policy. They said that because there is a long list of dangerous breeds they can not insure me in a home and accept the risk that I won't board those breeds.

Hi everyone!

I just learned that my homeowner's insurance is dropping me due to running a doggy daycare/boarding business from my home. I have read through the forums here to see if there are alternatives. I have called around and can't find another company who will write me a policy.

So I wanted to ask other sitters if they have a solution or does everyone just risk it? How is it possible that all sitters are risking their homeowner's policy? Is that a risk everyone is taking?

I look forward to hearing about anyone's success story with this situation!

Yes, I've tried that as recommended on here; however, it just masks or neutralizes the smell and doesn't eliminate it. As soon as you stop using it, the smell returns. After cleaning with OXI, I don't have the smell at all.

This has been my obsession for a few months. I've been boarding dogs for 2 years and the dog smell can be very hard to deal with. I've tried running a oil diffuser. I've tried febreeze. I clean my carpets every other week (no lie) with Nature's Miracle.

Lo and behold, this week I tried something new.....I cleaned my carpets (because I know that is where the smell emanates from) with OXI CLEAN!!!! Yes, very simple. I have a bissell carpet cleaner. I filled the oxi clean scoop to the second level marked "B". Then, I add the powder to a small container of hot water to activate it and then I poured it into the bissell's vessel with more hot water and then went to town on the carpets. Note: oxi clean is an oxygen based cleaner like peroxide which is also what color safe bleach is. Oxi needs to be activated to work and through my research, I've learned that warm water activates it; however, they consider warm water to be 134 degrees, so I go with hot water. I still pour Nature's Miracle on any messes first and let it work eating the proteins. Nature's Miracle is the opposite of Oxi in that the enzymes will die in warm water and have no effect.

Yes, I followed up with a stale conversation only to have the client say she had already responded to another "number". I don't use texting with clietns so I was confused and was glad I followed up.
