However, it is important to note, if you hire a professional house sitter, they will likely have a policy that covers their personal items and adds protection for themselves if their negligence results in damage to the property.<\/p>\n<h2>What Do Homeowner&rsquo;s Insurance Policies Cover?<\/h2>\n<p>In most cases, your homeowner&rsquo;s insurance policy will include a limited amount of coverage for things such as medical payments, if the house sitter is injured while performing their job.<\/p>\n<p>As far as your own belongings, there should not be an issue. As long as your list of contents in your home is up-to-date and you have paid your premiums, then everything you have listed should still be covered (even if damage or theft occurs while the home is being housesat).<\/p>\n<p>However, every insurance policy is different, which means that you need to check with your insurance provider to ensure that your belonging and home will be protected &ndash; even when you aren&rsquo;t there.<\/p>\n<h2>Special Coverage Considerations &nbsp;<\/h2>\n<p>Depending on how long you are going to be gone, and if your house sitter is part of your family, you may need to purchase a special policy.
