Does House Insurance cover use of a pet sitter

Hi
My Insurance company (LV) has advised that they don't cover theft or damage caused by a pet sitter. Obviously I'd carry out due diligence when using one but things can go wrong.
Does any one know of House Insurance that covers the use of a pet sitting service

Thanks 

Andy

    Assuming you don't have a lodger I'd ask LV= to point out which clauses in their policy book they are saying excludes cover for a pet sitter... only scan read their current wording (for their direct business, their broker business may be different) but nothing jumps out.
