Dog Sitting Bite Incident- Sitter Asking For Insurance Claim

Card image cap

i boarded my dog with a Rover sitter in their home. after only a few hours he was let out of their house and was running loose in their neighborhood. dur the chase the sitters husband grabbed my dog and was bitten on his finger. my dog sustained injuries to his paws and was taken to the emergency vet. I filed a claim for my dogs injuries through Rover and made no further contact with the sitter. now the sitter has reached out requesting my home owners insurance information to file a claim for medical bills/ loss of work for the husband? rover doesn’t cover anything that happens to a sitter or someone in the sitters home. I believe the terms of service state that they accept risk when signing up. I did not respond to the request and am wondering what to do? my husband is seeking legal advice through his employer but I’m not sure how long that would take. advice is appreciated. also: it was noted before the stay that my dog is nervous and has anxiety. we did a meet and greet before the stay also.
