FIND A TRUSTED HOUSE SITTER

To cut to the chase, here’s why you should ask The Housesitting Company find a responsible person or couple to be your professional house sitter, wherever you are in New Zealand.

We wouldn’t let anyone take care of your home and your pet unless we were happy for them to take care of our own.

Important points to take on board about insurance and house sitting

Insurance policies have a lot of small print. Many a standard insurance policy excludes damage caused by people brought in to house sit. And for those whose insurance does cover such damage, there is inevitably an excess payable. So, what is the situation with insurance?

The Housesitting Company wants to help you avoid a potential insurance headache. We carry Public Liability Insurance to cover for ‘accidental loss or damage to property caused by the sitters’. We also recommend that you tell your own insurance company that you’ll be having a house sitter. Now, we don’t expect there to be any issues during your house sit, but it’s good to be prudent when it comes to insurance.

It is worth noting that no homeowner or Third Party Liability policy covers intentional damage by sitters, or damage caused as a result of methamphetamine or other drug use. That is why it is so important to have house sitters professionally vetted.

The Housesitting Company can give you peace of mind when it comes to house sitting insurance. Call us today on 0800 748 837 or send us a message and we’ll get right back to you.
