About this sitter

We are Ron and Susi Gauld and have retired from running a 5* B&B in Italy for 20years so we know how to keep a home and garden spotless. In our previous lives Ron was an architect with his own practices in Aberdeen and Susi was a head teacher in a large primary school on the outskirts of Aberdeen. We both very well and fit non smokers with no allergies or dietary requirements. Ron is 74 and Susi 73.
We are always looking for interesting places with any kind of animal to look after.

Why they want to house sit

As we cannot have animals at the B&B we really enjoy the company and looking after others pets.
