Will house sitting affect my homeowners insurance?

We encourage you to consult your insurance agent to discuss your policy coverage.  Most agencies will agree that your home is more secure when it is occupied rather than empty.  You should review and update your list of contents covered and remain current on your insurance premiums.

Unless you learn otherwise, explain to your housesitter that your insurance does not protect their personal belongings. They should arrange for their own coverage during their stay at your home.
