research assistant, retired
We have had four delightful home and pet-sitting experiences in France: St. Prix, Loire Valley, and Normandy, and Provence. The hosts were all very welcoming, the dogs and cats were fun to care for, and all four areas were great to explore. Living in a home far from our home in North Carolina, shopping at the weekly market, taking walks with a dog or on our own, getting a haircut, and trying out our little bit of French with people in the neighborhood, has given us the experience of really living in France.
I was a research assistant at Duke University and my husband was a realtor. We have always wanted to live in Europe, and lived in Italy for 10 months, renting apartments for a month or two in several different towns, and want to return to Europe May, 2019. My husband was in the Peace Corps in Ghana. and I was an exchange student in Colombia, which sparked our interest in travel and getting to know people in the countries we visit. We miss not having a pet, and would love to live in a home with at least one. I grew up with dogs, and we have always had dogs and one cat since we were married.

Susan et Joe sont des gens sympathiques, qui se sont parfaitement occupés de nos deux chats. Cependant, nous regrettons de ne pas les avoir vus à notre retour pour parler de leur séjour...
Paris, France - September 2017
FOR-MI-DABLE. Susan et Jo sont parfaits, des gens de parole qui savent tenir leurs engagements. Quand ils sont partis la maison était propre comme jamais et les animaux avaient été parfaitement soignés. Ils ont vécu dans un village où peu de gens parlent anglais mais ont profité au maximum de toutes les possibilités touristiques de la région. Nous n'avons malheureusement pas pu passer du temps ensemble à notre retour (question de planning) et c'est notre seul regret.
