In fact, most insurers will actually refuse claims for household items damaged by dogs, cats, budgies and even goldfish. Others will only cover damage caused by pets if you take out full accidental damage cover alongside your home contents policy. Before taking out a policy, it is therefore vital for Pet Business Sitters to read Product Disclosure Statements to see whether one-off accidental damage caused by furry guests will be covered.
