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 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.

Additional information about these dates

We have flights already on 27 Nov and 1 Dec but the dates and times are a bit flexible since we have a guest room separate from the master bedroom. We are looking for someone to watch our home and our dog while we’re away.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Mons, Belgium - May 2026

It has been a real pleasure to meet Elisabeth and Kyle, a welcoming young couple full of tact and delicacy. Since I don't live very far from their place, we had the opportunity to get to know each other before I took care of their dog. I came twice to accompany them on a walk with Lucy and I was able to quickly realize how easy, obedient, and kind she is : a remarkably lovable dog ! The house is very comfortable, perfectly located for varied walks with the four-legged princess as well as for the many discoveries in the surroundings. I had an excellent stay in Ghlin and I sincerely hope that we’ll see each other again. A huge thank you to this friendly trio !
