    I’m looking for a responsible petsitter to look after my cat while I am away. His name is Willy and he is almost 4 years old. Willy is playful, social, and very outgoing.

    My house is a city home in a great location. It is situated about 2 km from the heart of Ghent. It is close to supermarkets and a beautiful nature reserve. The house is easily reachable by bus from the train station and the main city squares. Smoking is not permitted indoors.

    This housesit would be a great match for someone who loves cats and would like to explore Ghent and/or Belgium.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    Ghent is a beautiful historic city with many sights. While staying at my place, you could explore the old town and visit local art museums if you're into that... You could also do some day trips by train (Bruges, Brussels, Antwerp...)

    You will have a chance to explore Ghent and Belgium.
