Animaute is a French platform that connects pet owners with a network of pet sitters for services including in-home boarding, house sitting, and dog walking. Founded in 2009 by veterinarian Dr. Olivier Tondusson and animal specialist Renaud Aubert, the company was established to provide a reliable pet care solution for owners who struggled to find trustworthy sitters.
The co-founders' backgrounds are central to the company's operations; Dr. Tondusson is a graduate of the Maisons-Alfort veterinary school, and his expertise provides veterinary guidance and support for the sitters. Renaud Aubert's experience in the pet industry contributes to the understanding of animal behavior and care. Animaute's business model is based on connecting a network of over 250,000 pet sitters across France with pet owners. The platform offers personalized support to clients in finding a suitable sitter and includes services like veterinary assistance and insurance during the sitting period. Clients can search for sitters, review profiles, and book services directly through the website. The company generates revenue through service fees charged for each booking. Animaute caters to a variety of domestic animals, including dogs, cats, and small mammals (NACs).
