The helper helps for about 5/6 hours a day, depending on the request. Helping us with our house dogs, playing with puppies, feeding, training, and supporting us during sleddogs, restaurant and hotel, and daily maintenance. Hours worked can vary depending on the length of stay in our place or the season. The winter season is always busier. The work is very different between the winter and spring/summer seasons. Our high-season work is very demanding and challenging due to the weather and the few hours of daylight. There are husky safaris every day and of course the daily management of cleaning and food, shoveling snow, and wood, cleaning and hotel rooms, and helping in the restaurant. During the summer the work with the dogs is quieter but always challenging until the autumn with the daily training work. There are maintenance works in the structure (grass cutting, fences, kennels, painting, wood for the winter, path maintenance) as well as the restaurant and hotel when there are customers. The refund varies based on the season and length of your stay. We will provide you with free accommodation plus a reimbursement, depending on the season and the length of your stay. Usually, we give a reimbursement of €150 for the first month, €200 for the second one, and €300/month from the third for spring-autumn seasons. During the winter, we offer a salary depending on your experience. Anyway, for the first winter we request your arrival at least from september/october.
