Why you should check out the insurance situation as a house sitter
One of the FAQs we get asked at The Housesitting Company is the following: What happens if I accidently damage something? Well, accidents happen, it’s just part and parcel of life. A wine glass might be broken, or the dog you’re looking after might cover the carpet in mud. We hope that you’ll just be honest with the homeowner and explain what happened (they tend to tell you not to worry about it). For the bigger accidents, house sitters are covered for up to $2m under The Housesitting Company’s Public Liability Insurance.
We also require that homeowners have their own insurance for house and contents to cover any loss or damage that was not your fault.
Still got questions about the situation with insurance as a house sitter? We’d love to answer them! Register today as a house sitter with The Housesitting Company, or send us a message and let us know how we can help you.
