About Jerry & Suzanne
My wife, Suzanne, and I lived in Mill Valley for 30 years; hence our love for the North Bay. We left MV in 2007 and now have our home in Carbondale, Illinois. We posted some pics of the home. I work remotely for a San Jose company as a career transition coach and Suzanne is a master seamstress (have needle, will travel.) Of relevance to you, r...
My wife, Suzanne, and I lived in Mill Valley for 30 years; hence our love for the North Bay. We left MV in 2007 and now have our home in Carbondale, Illinois. We posted some pics of the home. I work remotely for a San Jose company as a career transition coach and Suzanne is a master seamstress (have needle, will travel.) Of relevance to you, regarding our qualifications and aptitude, is that friends have trusted us to house sit (better, home sit, right?) at least a dozen times since we moved. Happy to hold a skype call with anyone who may wish to consider us. For any sit, we'd certainly fly to the Bay Area several days in advance to meet with you and learn the nuances of your home, your family and your pets. Armed with a high-speed Internet connection, I can work comfortably from any location.
Why we want to house sit
Of no direct benefit to you is that my wife and I get face time with friends made during our 30 years of living in Mill Valley. As we and our friends age, it's wonderful to tip our toe back into the North Bay. Just the view of Mt. Tam, sparks deep longing for this wonderful part of the country. Due to flight costs, I typically seek out assignments of at least two to four weeks.
Of great direct benefit to you is that, first and foremost, Suzanne and I (or just me if I house sit alone) promise to care for your pets, your home and your property; this is our paramount concern. Thank you for giving us the potential to oversee your personal space ~ "su casa es mi casa." I want to state up front that, regarding your pets, we know to de-poop a litter box and handle those little tootsie rolls your dog leaves behind. Plus, we know the Marin/Sonoma terrain, so we can handle emergencies if need be.
Our experience
We now have 3 posted recommendations and can reference two additional individuals with whom you can speak. Viewing my LinkedIn profile will provide further information about me. https://www.linkedin.com/in/jerrybires/. Suzanne ran her own slip cover business from Mill Valley and she's an accomplished sewer.

Jerry stayed at my house and took great care my cat while I was away.
I loved that he gave me email updates on ChiLin ( my cat ), and I felt very confident that all was well with ChiLin and my house!

I loved that he gave me email updates on ChiLin ( my cat ), and I felt very confident that all was well with ChiLin and my house!
When I got home the house was in good order and ChiLin was happy to see me, but it was obvious that she felt good about everything!
I will be contacting Jerry again for house/cat sitting.- Organised

Jerry has house sat for us on more than one occasion and I have always found him to be honest, reliable and trustworthy. He has always provided excellent service. He has maintained the property well so that when we returned from our trips we found the property clean and well maintained. He has taken wonderfully affectionate care of our cat. He has answered any messages we sent him courteously and helpfully and been reliable and resourceful in caring for the property. He has always respected our property rights and treated us with courtesy and respect. I recommend him without any hesitation.

It is with great pleasure that I give Jerry Bires a 100% positive reference as to trustworthiness, honesty and responsibility. I have known him for over 30 years and worked with him as colleagues for 10 years in my marketing agency in northern California. I can give no more praise than to state that when I took my entire family to Hawaii for an extended vacation, all on a single airplane, I put Jerry’s name as beneficiary on my life insurance and homeowners policies.
