Bedürfnisse und Tiere

Tiere hüten | Poolpflege | 1 Hund

Our dog Lucy is an Australian Shepherd. She's pretty lazy when she's at home and generally sleeps under the bed or in her recliner. She's very friendly and loves being around people. She will go pee in the fully fenced backyard but she won't stay outside, she wants to be where the people are. She absolutely loves walks, so she will need one walk sometime before noon and another after 6pm. That's also the time she poops since she doesn't like doing that in her own yard for some reason... She's fine to be left alone for 6 hours after she's had a walk. She doesn't have any diet restrictions or medications, but we give her a glucosamine chew daily, which she enjoys. She's very smart and knows a lot of words/commands. You can set the rules if you want her to jump in bed with you or not. She will gladly cuddle if you allow her to.

We plan to visit Luxembourg from Friday until Monday and will need someone to look after our house and dog. Dates and times are a bit flexible since we will be driving, and we have a guest room separate from our bedroom.

Haus

We are offering guests a large stand alone house that's 4km (2.8 miles) from the center of Mons. There is a beautiful canal with walking trail near the house, a bakery, and a lovely quiet neighborhood that's still near enough to the grand mall and city of Mons. There is a private guestroom with queen size bed, dresser, armoire, and bookshelf. There are two bathrooms and two toilets - guests can choose to use the guest bathroom or the main one. The kitchen is well equipped with an induction stovetop, microwave, toaster, Nespresso, panini press, and fridge/freezer. There is a pool for the warmer months, along with a grill and patio table/chairs. There is a 75” TV with an Apple TV connected so you can sign into Netflix or use our subscription services in the guest account. WiFi is very fast and you can setup your computer in a small office or wherever you choose. There is a bus stop across the street, trains at the Mons station, and we can negotiate potential use of a car or bikes.

Our house is on a quiet cul-de-sac next to a beautiful canal and walking trail. Within 2km there are two grocery stores, a bakery, pharmacy, and some other pizza places/restaurants. Takeaway and Uber Eats can deliver food to our house. Within 9 minutes you can drive to the grand mall or downtown Mons. The house is very large and comfortable by Belgian standards, and is fairly easy to take care of. It has both heating and air conditioning, 2 toilets, two bath tubs, and a standing shower. Guests have their own bedroom and bathroom.

Tourismus und Freizeit

Museum
Zoo
Theater
Oper

There are ample woods nearby to go for a hike in the forest. Belgium is relatively flat so they aren't mountainous hikes but the trails through the woods are excellent. It's 25 minutes to the Pairi Daiza Zoo. Visit Van Gogh's house near Mons. The city of Mons has great restaurants, bars, and an Opera House. The town square has various carnivals/festivals/christmas markets to visit, or if you're a history buff you'll love the museums showcasing the start and ending place of WWI. Within an hour's drive you can get to various battlefields, see classic artwork in the museums in Brussels, enjoy the nightlife of Brussels, or see shows. Visit the beautiful cities of Belgium such as Ghent, Bruges, or Antwerp. It's only an hour to the city of Lille in France if you'd like to visit some French towns.

C'était bref mais extra. Elisabeth et ķeyle sont très accueillants et font tout pour faire plaisir. On s'est sentis super bien. Lucy est une chienne extra. Nous serions bien restés...

On ne peut que recommander cette opportunité de home-sitting : Elisabeth et Kyle sont très accueillants et sympathiques, à l'image de Lucy, leur chienne, fort bien éduquée, calme et particulièrement facile à vivre. Leur maison est aussi parfaitement confortable et agréable.

J’ai beaucoup apprécié mon séjour avec Lucy. C’est une chienne adorable, bien éduquée et calme. Elle écoute très bien, tant à la maison que lors de balades. Nous avons d’ailleurs exploré quelques beaux boisés de la région ensemble. Elizabeth et Kyle m’ont accueillie chaleureusement et je me suis sentie directement à l’aise chez eux. Ils sont venus me chercher à la gare (et reconduire) et nous avons partagé un repas la veille de leur départ pour faire un peu connaissance. Merci à vous deux et au plaisir ! I had a great time taking care of Lucy. She is a well-behaved dog who loves walks and listens really well. Elizabeth and Kyle are great hosts who make you feel at home. We had good communication, I was shown the neighbourhood and we went for a walk with Lucy so she could get used to me and my dog. I recommend this house-sit to anyone and would enjoy coming back. Thank you for everything! Take good care!
