Pet care experience
Growing up in the countryside in France, I have had pets since I was a little child. From dogs, and cats, to bunnies, turtles, chickens, and goldfish, I have taken care of different kinds of animals throughout my life. And I love it! Having animals around brings joy in my life but also in the life of my husband and my children. My husband had even more pets than me. I could almost say that he was born in a manger with animals around ;) He had many dogs, cats, sheep, and even a parrot growing up. At one point, when he was a teenager he had about 10 dogs, and 5 cats. Since we got married we have moved a lot. While living in St Maarten we had 2 cats and a turtle, and when we moved to Guyana, we had 4 dogs (without counting taking care of the 8 dogs and 1 cat from my husband's parents house). We also trained our dogs to sit and wait before eating. Our children love pets and are very caring. We came back to the US a few years ago and we have been around pets frequently from our friends house. We would love to have a dog and a cat but we like to go away as a family from time to time, and therefore we decided that we would care for other people's animals. I am a work-at-home and homeschooling mom, and my husband has his own marketing company with plenty of flexibility. We are therefore available to accommodate pets at our home for a few days to several weeks. We also have plenty of yard space to walk dogs, and a good space in our house so that any pet can find comfort.
Reviews
Anne-Laure and her family took such great care of my dog while I was out of town. They were so friendly and gave plenty of updates. Kobe seemed like he was always enjoying himself when she sent photos. I couldn't have found a better family to watch him! Definitely recommend to anyone!
Anne was wonderful met the whole family great people friendly kind and caring. My dog is an old city girl and they loved her and took really good care of her made her comfortable and safe. Highly recommend will ask for Anne for sure!
Fantastic!! Anne-Laure quickly provided a temporary home for our Bichon-Frise when we needed a temporary place for her. Anne-Laure was friendly, proactively sent an update and picture and when we picked up our dog, she couldn’t have been happier. Will definitely rebook again, and recommend her to anyone who is looking.
Anne-Laure took care of my Lhasa Apso dog when she was in France. She was so caring and kept him safe. He loved her so much! When he went to take walks with her and he got dirty she even used to give him and nice gentle bath. She is dearly missed.

Safety, trust & environment
We usually do pet boarding which means that people bring their pets by us, but we have also done pet sitting and have gone to other people's places to care for their pets. Due to our experience and our love for animals, it is so natural for us to care for them by playing with them, feeding them at appropriate times, cleaning them if needed, hugging them if they are comfortable, even giving medication if needed, and making sure they are safe and happy overall.

Information Anne-Laure & Ray W. would like to know about your pet
I would need to know if the dog is aggressive, especially toward children. We would also need to know if the dog barks a lot. We are used to dogs barking, but we just want to make sure that we won't stay up all night :)
A typical day
I and my family love to take walks in our yard and garden. There is plenty of space for a dog to enjoy the outdoors. If a pet owner allows, we also like to bring dogs with us on hikes or when we go to parks.

Availability
I am very flexible. I am home most of the time and my husband has a flexible schedule as well. We can accommodate pets for a few days to several weeks. We are also open to going to people's places and checking on their pets, feeding them, and walking them if needed.
