House-sitting in Saint-Gilles

Needs and animals

Animals with specific needs | Vegetable patch | 1 Dog

Fresa is a mixed breed big dog. She is a rescue with previous trauma so it takes her time to trust and like people in general. She is very calm and low maintenance otherwise. Needs a walk and dry food in the morning and the same at night. She is happy to stay alone and chill during the day. She gets along better with people that ignore her in the begining and let her approach at her own pace (ideally encouraged by treats!). So ideally the petsitter would be able to arrive a couple of days ahead so that she gets used to a new presence in the house. Ideally a person that has experience with scared dogs, she is a rescue and can be a bit scared of new people.

They have an open scratch that sometimes she licks and might require applying cleaning an ointment daily

Additional information about these dates

We leave on the 24th of June in the morning and arrive back on the 29th at around mid day. Ideally the petsitter(s) can arrive the day before for a brief intro. But also flexible if they need one or 2 nights on either side (we can only offer a sofabed for a those nights unfortunately as it is a one bedroom flat)

Supers hôtes qui m'ont mis à l'aise dès le début. Fresa a été un amour malgré une semaine de canicule. Elle a besoin d'un temps d'adaptation pour faire confiance mais sans aucune agressivité de sa part. Le logement est cosy et fonctionnel. Le quartier est vraiment sympa et on accède facilement au centre de Bruxelles. Bref un séjour parfait

I would definitely recommend staying with Tanguy and Dani. They were always one message away if I needed them before or during my stay. They were super nice and made me feel at home the moment I came to their home. They also hosted me for two more days so I could explore some more of Brussels. They gave me some additional informations and contacts in case of emergency and also recommended me some must try spots in their neighbourhood which I really appreciated.

Tanguy et Dani ont été des parfaits home-sitter, ils nous ont donné des nouvelles régulièrement. Nos chats ont eu l'air de très vite s'habituer à eux et ont pu passer 4 semaines agréables en leur compagnie. Nous sommes ravies d'avoir pu être un lieu idéale pour Tanguy et Dani pour avancer sur leur mémoire d'études. Nous les reverrons avec plaisir :)
