Ravenna - home of Mosaics
Introduction
Hi, l am Kathryn and live in Ravenna Italy with my two cavoodles (poodle x cavalier) Bella (16yo) and Teddy (3yo). We are originally from Australia then moved to France for 18months for a sabbatical and now l am studying at the Ravenna Campus of Bologna University. We live in a 3bedroom apartment which takes up the all of the first floor of a house. It is located within a casual 15min of Dante's tomb in the old town. We have some outside space consisting of a balcony that stretches the length of the back of the building, down an external stairs and into the courtyard garden. The apartment has been renovated to a high standard during 2022. If you are interested, in your application please include an explanation as to why you would like to look after Bella & Teddy and my home. If you are a resident outside of the EU, please check that you are within the 90 day rule before submitting your application. Prompt reply to messages is mandatory. Note: l do not smoke and prefer non-smokers due to my asthma. Cavoodles do not shed, thus the apartment is allergy free.

Kathryn was a great host. Her home is very comfortable. We communicated regularly with each other, and she had everything I needed to care for her home and fur babies. Teddy & Bella are sweet and well-behaved dogs. Bella is 17 yrs old and amazingly full of life. Especially when it comes to meal time and snacks. Teddy is a teddy bear. He's ready to cuddle and play catch with his toys. Ravenna, I found, to be a delightful and vibrant city with art, history, and many live performances. The beach is a 30-minute bus ride away. Thank you, Kathryn, for the lovely opportunity to spend time with Teddy and Bella in Ravenna. It was a pleasure meeting you. I highly recommend this pet sit.

Staying in the picturesque neighbourhood of Ravenna was not just a serene retreat but a delightful dog-sitting experience that I'll cherish for years to come. This opportunity was presented to me by Kathryn, a kind-hearted owner who had to embark on a trip to Australia. Her unparalleled love for her two dogs, Bella and Teddy, is palpable, and it was an honour to step into her shoes, albeit temporarily. From the outset, Kathryn's meticulous nature was evident. She provided a comprehensive list of instructions, ensuring I had all the knowledge and resources I needed to care for Bella and Teddy. What struck me most was not just the depth of details, but the warmth and love embedded in every instruction. It wasn’t merely about their feeding times or walk schedules; it was filled with nuances of their personalities, habits, and quirks. It is clear that Kathryn truly understands her pets and their unique needs. Bella, at the venerable age of 16, surprised me the most. Age might have slowed her down a bit, but when it comes to her meals, she transformed into an enthusiastic puppy. I never needed an alarm, for Bella’s internal clock is impeccably accurate. Every mealtime, she'd jump around, making it known that it was food o'clock! It was heartwarming to see such spirit and enthusiasm in her golden years. Then there’s Teddy, the 2-year-old bundle of energy. With his playful nature, every moment was filled with joy. He has this quirky habit of picking up tissues during our walks, which was amusing and required a keen eye on my part. His youthful exuberance was the perfect foil to Bella's senior grace. Communication with Kathryn was seamless. We updated each other frequently, and she was always just a message away. Her genuine concern and inquiries about her beloved pets showcased her deep bond with them. In conclusion, my dog-sitting stint in Ravenna, surrounded by the quietude of its neighbourhood and the company of Bella and Teddy, was both fulfilling and enlightening. I was reminded of the unconditional love pets bring into our lives, the wisdom of senior dogs, and the boundless energy of young pups. Kathryn's dedication as a pet owner is commendable, and I am grateful to have been trusted with her cherished companions.
