My wife and I have a modern, country home here in Idaho near the Grand Tetons and Yellowstone Park. We travel south for the Winter, but cannot take our two dogs. We are looking for a house sitter for 6 months. There is not much work required other than keeping the house clean, tidy, and secure, and taking care of the dogs (one is an outside dog and the other is a small "inside" one). Both dogs are VERY well mannered.
This is a great place to live. The people are friendly and there is a lot of natural beauty and outside activities available (skiing, hiking, fishing, nature watching, photography, etc.) Our house is in the countryside along the South Fork of the Snake River. It is very peaceful here with lots of undeveloped river bottom forest in which to take walks and see all the wildlife. Yet the city of Idaho Falls where you can find most anything you might need, is less than 1/2 hr away. An added benefit is that the cost of living here is quite inexpensive.
It can get cold and snowy here, but our home is warm and the sun almost always shines in this naturally beautiful place.
We are looking for a mature person (or couple) in which we can totally entrust our home and dogs so we don't have to worry. At the same time, we hope we can give someone the opportunity to enjoy the wonderful things this area has to offer.
Please contact us if you are interested or have any questions. Thanks for your interest.
