    Description

    I am a single mom of 2 (14 and 6). We fulfilled our dream of relocating to Norrbotten 5 years ago. We are now renovating our houses slowly and getting ready for the winter.
    For the next 2 months, i am looking for a pet sitter to look over my cat. Job itself doesnt require much, but there is always something to do in a house! Some cleaning, sorting out stuff and a bit of renovating in my house as i live nearby, and would also need help sometimes.

    Pajala is a nice little town in Norrbotten, and depending on the season, one can see the northern lights or the midnight sun, go cross country skying or walk in the forest by the rendeirs, go to the pool or swim in the Torne river, hike Jupukka and warm up with some coffee and sausages on top... , but mostly, enjoy the peace and tranquility of this little town. We are walking distance to town, we have a river nearby and it is easy to go fishing. There is also i little sand beach and we can swin in the river. We often grill outside in summer and like to go hiking our only hill to grill upthere and enjoy the view.

    I am currently looking for someone to petsit our old cat. It means that the volunteer will be living alone in the house to take care of the cat and the house.
    There are few ongoing projects in the house, mostly sorting out and cleaning, and plowing snow when it will snow.
    My children will also come sometimes after school when i work late(max 19h30) and the small one (6) will need to be taking care of.
    If time, there are always things to fix at my house!

    What else ...

    Easiest way is to get to Luleå and from there, a flight twice a day to Pajala is available.
    Other wise, the bus from Luleå or Kiruna is an option too. It's about 2h30 to 3h30 from both airports.
