AM: I am a cheerful, upbeat Scottish woman who has been based in North America for the last 12 years. I'm a former chef and former restaurant manager, and have been working as a magazine editor and travel writer for the last fifteen years. I write for publications from The Miami Herald to the Irish Times.
AP: I'm a 37-year-old Canadian woman, and a translator and editor. I speak English, German, Hebrew and French. I spent several years in magazine production in Toronto and am now concentrating on my freelance translation business.
We both adore cats and would be thrilled to keep yours company, if you have any. We have both always had cats and are the first people friends call on when they need their wee furry beasties looked after - they know we will play with and give tons of attention to their pets. We have looked after many cats and have also been left in charge of up to six animals at one property. We have a slew of references that we will be delighted to provide.
We're great with plants and with keeping everything polished and perfect. If you need letters forwarded, workmen called or wee things like that attended to, we're happy to do so.
We always had house sitters in when we went away and it always made us feel much more comfortable leaving the house and little old tabby behind.
Thanks for reading!
