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

We had an incredible experience taking care of Fresa. Dani and Tanguy were wonderful hosts, very kind and attentive, and they made us feel very comfortable in their home from the very beginning. They also made such a lovely gesture by welcoming us with a dinner prepared according to our dietary needs, which we really appreciated. It was a truly lovely experience, and we felt very comfortable throughout our stay. We would absolutely recommend Dani and Tanguy to other housesitters. It was a real pleasure getting to know them and taking care of Fresa! Gouridania & Javiera

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.
