Yes, but you likely can't afford it.
The closing dogwalking business I quoted, was $1200.
Most contracts aren't going to hold up in court, if you're trying to waive your decriminalized liability. If a dog you're walking bites someone, YOU are still on the hook for the injuries.
If it makes you feel better, none of my pet sitters enjoy EVER had insurance.
You can operate a small business under your own name. Taxes and documentation come and go from state to state.
Professional Liability insurance is underwritten on a case-by-case basis and will require you to be very succinct surrounded by what services you will and will not be providing. For instance, dog-sitting at the owner's residence only, is a much smaller exposure to the insurance provider than walking and boarding services.
It is then up to the underwrite department whether or not to provide any coverage, based upon the underwriter's opinion of your business, and if it fits in the company's underwriting guidelines.
Alternatively, if you own a home, you can purchase a liability umbrella policy, which would basically follow you everywhere you go, and during all comings and goings. It may, or may not, be adequate coverage, depending on the circumstances if a loss occurs. This may not be the best coverage, but it'd be the easiest to acquire... if you're a homeowner.
Your local insurance agent is the best soul to contact regarding this question. It never hurts to pick up the phone and explain what you are doing and what coverage you want. An agent's business is to find you coverage that works, and 99% are satisfactorily motivated to get you on your way beside good coverage.
