You can also walk along the trails to Ponte Vecchio and check out the shops. Alternatively, you can follow the path from the Ponte Vecchio Bridge to Vittorio Veneto St.

House sitting adventure in Lombardy

Stretching from the Alps to Po Valley, Lombardy provides unrivalled adventures for looking after dogs in Italy. The variety of landscapes and its charm ensure you have a fun time with your furry friends. A must-visit place is Lake Como; from the shores, you will enjoy spectacular views. You can swim and play around with pets on the shallow part of the lake. If you want to explore the villages surrounding Lake Como, sail or canoe to enjoy the scenic views. For a historical and cultural experience, Bergamo is a masterpiece with numerous roman ruins, century-old palaces and the infamous Piazza Vecchia. You can also stroll around the town with pets.

A historical haven for house sitters - Lazio

If you are visiting Italy, Roman and Greek archaeological sites are must-visit destinations. Pompeii is the perfect archaeological site if you are looking after a cat in Italy.
