If you can: roll up your sleeves and go for it ! 💪
This beautiful family welcomes you to a great and comfortable place in Alaska.
You have your own place and they are always there for you. They are fun, very very smart and have a great world culture. You can chat with them for hours about everything ! 💬
It's also the opportunity to help a lot
… read more and physically and to learn so much about wild life animals, dogs, mushing, nature, culture and history of Alaska!
Each dog has his own personality. Boss sings, Mathieu has doe eyes, Choper collects stones, Trooper loves to eat, Tony... Huh... It's Tony... 😂
This experience with them was a chance for me and I hope to see them again very soon! ♥️♥️♥️

Anna, was really eager to please and helped with the dogs and house chores. She improved her English a lot during her 3 months stay. She was clean and always tried really hard. She will be visiting us in 5 months, this time in her home country. She will be always in our hearts as a family member.🧡
We will miss her.

Staying here was a once in a lifetime experience! I absolutely loved this family and their dogs and it feels like they are my extended family now :)
I am super grateful for all the fun days, outings and dinners we could share together and it would be a dream to come back and reconnect!! During my 3 month stay in Alaska I learned so much about

THANK YOU Alex, Deanna & KP for my incredible Alaska adventure! This family are outstanding Workaway hosts and I would recommend coming here to anyone with a big heart for dogs and love for the beautiful state of AlaskaYou can only contact Workawayers who have an active membership.

I stayed at the Partow's for 3 months, from March to June 2018 and it was a wonderful experience. It was my first workaway trip. The 16 dogs I took care of were such cuties ! As I stayed after the winter season, I mainly had to clean the dog yard and feed them twice a day. I could also walk the puppies, and I helped by cleaning the dog boxes and

They took me every weekend on a trip to discover the beauties of Alaska. We spent every evening together watching movies and talking about everything, I learnt a lot with them ! I also met great friends of them and learnt more about Alaska and musher's lifestyle. Landscapes are breathtaking and people are extremely nice and warm-hearted. I recommend 100% this workaway experience ! Time has passed far too quickly and I'll meet them again for sure !You can only contact Workawayers who have an active membership.
