We are a British family of 4 (plus a much-loved dog) living in the small and stunning mountain resort of Les Gets, in the French Alps.

We are looking for a dog sitter and au pair from May to September. You will be provided with independent accommodation and use of a car.

Duties will include taking 2 boys (aged 9 and 10) to and from sports and music clubs a few times a week and some child-sitting during the week/weekends, but the main duties would be house-sitting and looking after a well-behaved and much-loved dog for a few days at a time - while we are away.

This would not be a full time role and would vary week to week, so you would have plenty of opportunity to make the most of the surroundings - from the Les Gets bike park to forest treks and wild water swimming in the lakes.

We are looking for someone who loves dogs and is proactive, friendly and willing to get stuck in with two active children.
