Greg and I have been married for40 years. Greg worked as an engineer on World Bank projects in Africa and I was a Sales Manager in Film Distribution. We have had a varied life, first living in West Africa and then owning and managing a 16 bedroom hotel in Somerset for 10 years. Following this time Greg had a small house maintenance business and I worked for an Art Dealer.
We retired 11 years ago and moved to San Feliu de Guixols, a lovely town on the Costa Brava, north of Barcelona.
I love playing tennis and Greg plays golf. We both play bridge.
One of our greatest loves is buying produce from local markets, discovering new methods of preparing then cooking and eating new dishes. We love socialising, meeting new people and exploring new places.
Why we want to house sit
The reason is quite simple. Having owned a variety of dogs and cats for most of our life, we have now chosen to live in an apartment in town because of the close proximity to shops, restaurants and beach. We also travel quite a lot.
We miss the companionship of animals and finding Housesitters will fulfill that gap. We love to discover new places and feel that we can provide a high level of pet and house care together with a respect for other people's homes.
Our experience
Greg and I have over the years have had various dogs and cats. Juno 1 a wonderful Alsatian in Africa, who we brought back to the UK, together with our cat Tippy. Then Juno 2 a very special Golden Retriever for 14 years and Chloe a real character cat who ruled the roost in our hotel. We often cat sit for our daughter who has 2 eccentric Dubai street cats in the New Forest.
We have had experience of looking after friends houses in the U.K. and Majorca.
Greg also looks after several holiday homes in San Feliu, offering the owners peace of mind that their homes are being checked and maintained.
We both offer a high degree of common sense and practicality.

Sue and Greg are a delight. They are responsible, trustworthy and kind. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them as house sitters. They have looked after our home and pets twice now and we were completely satisfied.

I would highly recommend Sue as a house sitter. I have known her for 35 years and during that time we have shared family homes, children and pets. I would trust Sue to be totally honest and reliable. When I first knew her she had a gorgeous Alsatian with pups. Since then she has had more well-behaved dogs and cared for mine . Her homes are always immaculate. We appointed her as organiser of Christmas functions in Africa because of her superb skills with a clipboard. She is adept at running a house and not phased by technical malfunctions. She also has a great sense of humour and fun.
