    Description

    I, Ole, live alone with my 28 dogs 15 minutes from the city, I also have some chickens. I have 2 children but they live with me for periods, but mostly I live alone. the lifestyle is about the dogs, in the summer there is quiet but routine work such as cleaning and feeding, playing and cuddling with the dogs. summer is also time for some maintenance of various equipment and maintenance in the kennel.

    I work in the public sector, so I go to work in the morning and am back in the afternoon.
    on the weekends I have time off from my regular job.

    So what I want help with is mainly taking care of the dogs, this is feeding and cleaning.

    Helping with guests, cleaning and changing the linen on beds.

    From autumn and winter there are sled trips with tourists. so then I want someone who can be a guide as well

    It is an advantage that you are used to big dogs, the dogs are kind but they all have different personalities, some are very modest and some are very tough.
    there will be a lot of free time so it is an advantage that you like to explore, but of course you choose that yourself.
    I also select the person based on qualifications and that I feel you fit in.

    *all working hours are paid

    *I pay at least the minimum wage per working hours

    *I prefer stays from 2 months or longer, due to the learning process

    *This place is not suitable for vegetarians as we use meat in all our meals and the dogs eat raw meat in all meals

    *You live in a winter-insulated caravan with heat on the outside of the main house with wifi

    *You have access to the main building until 09.00pm every evening and from 08.00 in the morning, Kitchen , bathroom/shower. You have your privacy in the caravan

    *It is very important that you want to be with dogs and be with dogs. this is a dog place

    *You must be able to clean and prepare the guest cabin and receive guests

    *in winter season you must be able to guide tourists with dog sleds, you will receive training from me if you do not have experience in this. The season starts in December
