Owning a pet responsibly is like owning a car: there is the expense of regular maintenance, and then every so often you have to drop a wad of money for a major repair.

Don't get me wrong, my animals are worth it, but I think some first-time pet owners don't realize this.

Can you get pet insurance like you can car insurance and is it worth it?

Pet insurance exists, your options and whether it's worth it depends on a variety of factors. Look up "pet insurance (location)".
