    from January 2023
    We are looking for a person to help us take care of our Alaskan Huskies from June/ July until September/ October 2023. We prefer someone that is able to stay for at least 1 month or more as it takes time to get into all the routines and most important; time to get to know the dogs. The dogs are a part of our family and it is very important that they are happy and good taken care off.

    This is not an 8 to 4 job but a lifestyle. It is important that you are reliable and is able to work both in team and independently.

    We hope you are:
    · Good physical shape with no health problems preventing you from doing physically strenuous tasks.
    · Responsible, organized and hardworking
    · Have a passion for dogs
    · Keen to learn
    · Maintenance (fencing, repairing cages, dog-houses and sled-dog equipment)
    · Should be able to see jobs that needs to be done – without having to constantly be told/directed
    · Keep calm in stressful situations


    Some of the tasks; just to mention few of them is:
    Feed the dogs 2-3 times a day
    · Keep the dog yard clean
    · Socialize with the dogs
    · Help us prepare for the training and also train dogs if we see that you are motivated enough
    · Improve the trails
    · Cut meat and prepare the dog food
    · Fix or build

    For us this is more than work and our dogs are more than dogs; they are our friends and their wellbeing is important to us. There will also be time for you to go hiking and to explore Alta and the area around Alta.
