Needs and animals

1 Dog

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 45 minute walk sometime before/around noon and another 30 minute walk after 6pm. She's fine to be left alone for up to 5 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.

House

We are offering guests a large stand alone house in a quiet cult-de-sac that's 4km (2.8 miles) from the center of Mons. There is a beautiful canal with walking trail near the house, bakeries, grocery stores, 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 (160x200), 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, rice cooker, crock pot, 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.

Tourism and Leisure

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.

Mons, Belgium - October 2026

Second short stay (four days) in Ghlin with the very sweet and perfect Lucy who recognized me and welcomed me like a friend. I had a great time with her as she showed me the hidden green spots in my own area ! Always excited for a walk, she behaves very well both in the countryside and in the car, she’s friendly with other dogs and children, it's a pleasure to take care of such a well-behaved dog ! Thanks so much Elizabeth and Kyle for trusting me again and thanks also for the adorable birthday gift ! So here I am, happy and ready for the next time when our schedules happen to align !

I appreciated this second stay with Lucy, who is a charming, well-behaved dog. She tagged along with us both in town and on our walks in the forest. Elizabeth and Kyle kindly welcomed us into their home and we shared a delicious homemade pizza. I highly recommend their home to Nomador sitters.

Elisabeth et Kyle sont très accueillants, on ne manque de rien chez eux (merci encore) ! Lucy est une chienne très douce et sage, j'ai apprécié passer du temps avec elle 🤍 L'environnement autour est agréable pour les promenades.
