I am booked all summer, through the end of August. I had reserved September - October for an assignment where the people changed their plans... so now I'm wide open for September and beyond.
Please note that I prefer a two-week minimum stay, though I will make exceptions - Call me at 408-892-4754.

For two weeks this Christmas, we trusted Ned to take care of our (4) animals, and he did so very well. He also gave our family a ride both to and from the San Jose airport. Now that’s real service!

Our runaway poodle was found while Ned was house sitting for us. Ned took Buster back into his familiar surroundings and watched over him all day long every day for two weeks until we returned from our trip. Thanks, Ned, for taking care of Buster and giving us a happy homecoming.

If any questions or additional needs came up during our absence, such as when craftsmen needed to install a skylight, Ned took care of them and kept everything coordinated via email and telephone.
Ned made it possible to enjoy our summer and we were delighted to return home and find everything just as we had left it and spotlessly cleaned!

Ned was a wonderful house sitter. He made quick friends with our two neurotic dogs who became his constant buddies.

Thanks for house-sitting our home while we were away. The plants you were watering look better even than we left them! Thanks also, for mowing the lawn when we were gone longer than expected.

Hello, my name is Ned Buratovich and I'd be happy to speak with you about house sitting in your home.
There are many reasons you may want a reliable person to look after your home while you are away for an extended absence.
For most homeowners the foremost reason is the security of having their home looked lived in to discourage break-in or burglary. Since I operate as a "live in" housesitter (i.e. not someone who only drops in once a day to pick up your mail and maybe feed a pet) your home will not only look "lived in" but will be lived in day and night.
I work as a web designer and can work my business from any home that has (or can get) a high speed internet connection. That means most days your home will be occupied all day long (and most evenings, since my business keeps me busy.)
I prefer house sitting assignments of a month or longer and prefer to sit homes in a 25 mile radius centered around Palo Alto (because that's where many of my web design clients are located) or in Sonoma County from Santa Rosa South through Novato (because it's close to my elderly mom's home in Sebastopol, and I spend a day with her every week.)
However I'm happy to sit homes throughout the San Francisco Bay Area, particularly when I might have an open month or few weeks to fill in. I offer steep discounts from my house sitting fees if your assignment just fills a gap I need filled.
