Description
Hello! Are you the one we are looking for?We have a passion for the outdoors and have sled dogs that require their kennels to be cleaned, to be fed and to be loved and cared for. In the summer time we need help with poop to be scooped, kennels to be cleaned, water buckets to be filled and lots of love and care to be give to our fourlegged family members! There is the occasion we might have guests drop in so taking a kennel visit or a walk with guests in the forest is an option too! There can be days with little interaction with 2 leggeds! So independence is essential! A drivers license is a must! Dog care is central to us so their needs are the top priority!!! Pls note we ask minimum 2 months as the dogs need stability from their caretakers! Minimum age is 25 please! Will consider people under 25 with valid experience :)

We live in a beautiful area of lapland, close to a creek, and river and forest. the work with the dogs is amazing. Learning to get to know the dogs, getting them to trust you and create a bond is so beautiful! We have an easy going lifestyle where you just plan your own day as long as the dogs always come first 😁
Help
We like hands-on people that are motivated and wont wait around to be told what to do but can see what needs doing! Most importantly is the attention and care for the dogs. People with farming backgrounds and experience with animals are ideal!
