Bagno Flavio and Strut Beach

House sitting in Tuscany gives you the chance to explore several beaches where you can play in the sand and swim in the pristine waters. Bagno Flavio is a popular beach in Forte de Marmi where pets are also welcome to frolic in the sand. The beach is equipped with various amenities, including a restaurant. If you are looking for a beach where your furry friends can swim, go to Strut Beach in Follonica, which is a short distance from the port of Strut and offers water sports.

Lunch at a Tuscan vineyard

House sitting in Tuscany isn’t complete without a delicious lunch at a Tuscan vineyard, and the good news is some allow you to bring your dog along with you. Various vineyards dotted around the Tuscan hills offer delectable lunch and wine sampling packages and tours. This gives you the chance to taste the local cuisine and sip a glass of excellent wine produced in the area amid views of vineyards, olive groves, historical architecture and oak forests. This is not only a great experience, but also allows pet sitters to learn about the area's food and wine.

If you love bird watching, Maremma park will be your favourite spot on your Tuscan dog adventure. The park lies along the sea, providing a tranquil environment for nature walks in the pine forests and swamplands. Your furry companions can also stretch their legs, but they should be on a leash. Follow the hiking trails to the ancient settlements in San Rabano Abbey or catch a glimpse of the Ombrone River. Some trails also lead to the Pisan coast. The park hosts numerous bird species that you can watch on your hiking trail.
