I am Sanne and together with my +/- 35 dogs I live 80 km north of Lulea in a small village (Krokträsk) in the middle of the forests next to some lakes.
My huskies are my colleagues, best friends and family! They all need good care and a lot of love, every single day! Feeding, cleaning dog yards, socializing, walking with the puppies and retired dogs, play time etc.
Every season is different here:
Winter: We focus on our dogsledding tours for tourists! Next to that there is always a lot of work in preparing trails, shoveling snow, making dog-snacks etc.
Spring: Sometimes we can still go out sledding, but we mainly focus on cleaning up everything after the season.
Summer: We give the dogs play-time, walks and sometimes some training runs. Almost every summer we have puppies that need a lot of love. Next to that this is the time for building, repairs and maintenance.
Autumn (September - November): We focus on training the dogs so they are fit for winter season and next to that we prepare for the upcoming winter and finish the summer projects.
You don't need experience with dogs, but it is a must that you want to spend time around them. I will teach you everything that is needed. It is most important that I can trust you around the dogs!
In winter I share my passion for dogsledding and nature to tourists from all over the world. I take care of the guests and everything around these tours ourselves, you are not expected to help in our company in any way, but you help with things around the house, walking the retired dogs and puppies etc.
I would like to see motivation and flexibility. Some days can and will be long and most of the jobs will be physical. I can guarantee you have fun during this time and that you will learn a lot, but you will be tired at the end of the day :-)

This is a great opportunity for you who loves dogs and outdoor life!
You can learn everything about sled dogs, from daily routines, training the dogs, training the puppies to become sled dogs and driving your own team. The longer you can stay, the more I can teach you.
Next to that you can go out explore the nature around us. Go hiking, berry picking, wildlife watching, fishing, snow-shoe walking, ...
If you are a city-person that needs city-life once in a while, this might not be the place for you. We don't go to the city very often! The car is not shared, only for groceries once a week. People that stay longer might have some more opportunities but I need to get to know you first so no promises .

Every year and every season is different.
We can discuss what specific tasks we will do during your time here over email.
Because of the dogs I usually want people to stay a minimum of 6-8 weeks. They need some consistency to be a harmonious pack.
SUMMER 25:
I am still looking for a person starting beginning or mid May for 6-10 weeks. Pups will be born beginning of April so they need more socialising and small walks when they grow up. There are also some easy jobs in the house that I just bought. Also I try to arrange a holiday and need reliable help with the dogs when I am away.
WINTER 25-26:
I am looking for help from November / December 25, preferably staying for the whole season, because then you can learn more about snowmobiling and grooming the trails and driving with the dogs. People that are interested in some guiding are very welcome to apply and have the chance to earn some pocket money as well.

Alojamiento
You will live in a house in the village, around 400 m from the kennel and my house.
You have your own or partly shared bed-room.
There are 3 bedrooms (maybe more coming) and I usually have 2-4 people helping and living in the house. In rare occasions there will be just you or 5 people if there is some overlap.
You share the livingroom, bathroom and kitchen.
I expect that you keep everything tidy and clean and respect the people you live with.
You get grocery money and the opportunity to go to the nearest town for shopping once a week. Sometimes we eat together and then that's my treat . Otherwise you arrange it with the people you share the house with if you want to share meals or not.

I spent 2 weeks during October, with Sanne and Eric, it was an unforgettable experience.
As a workawayer, your work will depends on the season but for us it was mainly cleaning the kennels, cuddling the dogs, wood stacking and cleaning the forest.… read more
