The Experience

I run a Husky farm with about 40 Alaskan Huskies and offer 4 accommodations for guests. During high season (November - April) I need someone who can take care of the hospitality of my guests. Means to welcome them, show them around, introduce the dogs, prepare breakfast, sometimes lunch for tours, clean the rooms, make the laundry, transfers to town, shopping. I also need help with taking care of the dogs and help with the dog sledding tours.

I am currently still staying at Husky dreams because I decided to extend my stay for 2 weeks! I had a great time at husky dreams these past 2,5 months! Learned a lot about sled dogs and this very unique lifestyle, I got to drive an ATV, snowmobil and sled, helped with different tasks concerning the dogs like feeding, cleaning kennels, preparing for tours/training etc. Definitely important that you are physically fit and are capable of handling strong dogs, and to ask lots of questions. So far its been a great learning experience personal as well and I can definitely recommend it :)

Thank you so much Sanne and Per for a wonderful month with 48 huskies. This is such an unforgettable experience and I'll miss sweet baby Obee a lot. Highly recommended this experience for other volunteers! The hosts are incredibly nice and welcoming. The home is cozy and lovely. And the dogs are simply adorable 💖

My stay at husky dreams during the summer was incredible. From cuddling dogs, cleaning and fixing a few things around the property. It was a good balance. Sanne was always making shure we were ok and Per is a really good cook. I already miss being surrounded with dogs all day long. I'm also grateful to Sanne who enabled me to be creative and shared her thoughts with me.

I truly have no words to describe the incredible opportunity I had working at Husky Dreams. Thank you, Per, Sanne, and all the amazing volunteers I met for making me feel at home the entire time. These four months have been full of hard work, but I would do it all over again a hundred times. A special thanks to the dogs, my bananas for taking me all over with the sled and keeping me company whenever I was feeling down. This was a life changing experience that not only disciplined me but also offered me endless days of fun and breathtaking scenery.

I had a great time at Husky Dreams! 43 dogs that I miss. 43 very strong and beautiful bananas that give you a lot of love and kisses. Per and Sanne are very nice people, they made sure I felt at home and always worried if I was okay. Volonteers rooms are very nice and clean, and plenty of food. Nice atmosphere also with the other volonteers. Thank you Till for making me breakfast every morning :) I highly recommend this experience. Thank you again Per and Sanne for everything and hope to see you and the dogs soon🫶
