Looking for sitters for 2 lovely cats in Brussels in summer (26.06.-27.07.2024)

Introduction

Hi Everyone! We are a family of four plus two adorable cats, Lila and Henio. We are looking for trusted sitters to stay with our furry babies during our summer holidays, from 26 June until 27 July.

Home & location

Our house has three floors: there is a kitchen and a dining room downstairs, with the doors to the garden, plus a garage, storage room (with washing machine and the dryer) and a toilette. The kitchen is fully equipped (microwave, coffee machine, toaster etc). On the first floor there is a living room with a big TV (Netflix) and the master bedroom with the adjacent bathroom (with shower and bathtub). On the third floor there are two additional bedrooms (kids' bedroom, guest bedroom) and an office, plus an extra bathroom. The guestroom has a desk, so it can be used as an office space as well. The house is new and warm and has AC. The house is located at a quiet little street that ends with the little forest (Keyenbempt). There is a driveway to park the car. Public transport stops are located at the distance of five minutes walking: Egide Van Ophem stop for trams 4 and 97. Tram 4 will take you directly to the centre of Brussels in around 20-25 minutes, to the Midi Train Station in about 15 minutes. There are also buses nearby and the small train station Uccle Calevoet at 10 mins walking distance. Our location is really convenient, because everything you need is really close (a bakery, Colruyt supermarket 5 mins from home, a big shopping centre 5 mins by car, Parvis de Sant Pierre Uccle - shopping and restaurant quarter - is 2 tram stops away ), you can easily get to the city centre by tram, but at the same time you are close to promenade verte - the green belt of Brussels -and the rural, forest areas around the city (as we are close to the border with Flanders). Lovely little municipalities of Dilbeek, Beersel, Linkebeek etc are close and reachable by De Lijn buses. There are many possibilities for hiking in the area.

Responsibilities

We would like the sitters to feed the cats several times a day - they eat hypoallergenic food and need to get it in small portions around 4 times a day. The cats really like company so they will come to you for cuddles on the sofa and so we would like you to pet them every day so they do not feel lonely, and play with them a bit. They are both really friendly. They come out to the garden and in the summer they can be hesitant to come back inside during hot evenings - so it might be necessary to tempt them with a snack! Lila, who has some intestinal troubles, sometimes (every few months) might get sick (she vomits) and needs to go to the vet for the injection (the vet knows her by now and we will give you all the instructions on this). Usually this can happen when she is outside and eats something weird ;). Apart from this, we will ask you to water a few plants that we have, water the lawn in the summer and to keep the house tidy (although the cleaning lady is coming once a week for a big clean).

My stay here was a delight from start to finish. Kasia’s hospitality was exemplary, arranging details that would truly make me feel like home. Her communication was impeccable, promptly addressing issues with grace and efficiency. The house itself is a haven of cleanliness and tranquility, well equipped, located in the best neighborhood of Brussels with convenient access to all parts of town. Plus the backyard - a true gem, perfect for soaking up the sunshine and enjoying peaceful moments. The two charming feline companions stole my heart. Cuddly and adorable, they love their food and their naps. Very easy maintenance and not stingy with their affection. Overall, a truly wonderful experience that I won't soon forget!

Kasia was welcoming and straightforward about what to expect when caring for Henio and Lila. The house is convenient, beds are comfortable and there's netflix and prime available. There's a pharmacy nearby as well as grocery stores. We spent most of the time indoors with the cats. It took them 1 day to get accustomed to us. Lila spends her evenings either in a coma next to you or in a coma on top of you :-D . Henio will be nearby. Both of them will let you know when it's feeding time: small portions 5 times a day.
