Included in our Standard and Premium Pet Parent memberships, our Home and Contents Plan covers all sits organised and confirmed through TrustedHousesitters, giving members extra peace of mind.

Some home insurance policies won't cover leaving your home in the hands of a third party, such as a sitter. This is where our Home and Contents Plan can help. Claims made through this plan are subject to certain conditions, limitations, and exclusions. 

How much am I covered for?

The Home and Contents Plan offers property damage, theft, and public liability cover with a minimum of $1000 USD and up to $1 million USD (or foreign currency equivalent). All claims under this plan are subject to a $150 contribution fee (or currency equivalent).

Am I covered if my belongings are damaged or stolen?

The Home and Contents Plan can cover accidental and malicious damage to your property during a sit, excluding Cosmetic Damage and Wear and Tear. It protects your household goods and your valuable belongings, too.

Please note: all valuables must be kept in a locked safe.

Does it cover sitters?

The Home and Contents Plan includes public liability. This covers you in case the sitter has an accident in and around your property.

Does it cover my pet too?

Unfortunately, pets aren’t covered as part of the Home and Contents Plan. If there are any problems, then you can use our Vet Advice Line, 24/7, during a sit.

As per the terms of service, pet parents are required to have an appropriate level of cover for their pets and circumstances.

Does it cover renters?

Renters must seek permission from their landlords for having a third party in their home. As long as your policy insures you against your contents, you may be able to claim. However, most renters don’t have coverage for building or permanent fixtures so please bear this in mind. 

Please be aware your landlord's building insurance is not covered under our Home and Contents Plan.
