Without knowing the state, in which you are operating, I cannot say for sure, but I am guessing there is not a particular law that requires it, but rather the individuals, for which you are house-sitting, require it to ensure you are able to pay for any damage to the property that you may cause. By being bonded and insured you are ensuring there are funds available to pay for any damage you may cause.

Is licensed bonded and insured the same thing?

No, "licensed," "bonded," and "insured" are not the same thing, though they are often related. Being "licensed" means a business or professional has obtained the necessary permits to operate legally in their field. "Bonded" refers to having a surety bond, which provides financial protection to clients if the business fails to fulfill its obligations. "Insured" means the business has liability insurance to cover potential damages or accidents, protecting both the business and its clients.


If you are a sole proprietor in a service industry do you need to get bonded?

This depends on your business classification and your local business statutes. If you determine you do need to be bonded, contact your local insurance agent and buy an insurance bond. The type of bond will depend on your business classification. Most likely what you actually need is for your business to be " Insured ". In other words. Commercial General liability. Many if not most Bond Issuers will not issue you a bond if you do not carry appropriate Insurance for your business venture. being Bonded is not the same as being Insured.
