Help take care of my pack of Alaskan Huskies in spring/summer

Husky Dreams offers a very intense and unique experience close to nature, working daily with lots of huskies and being part of dog sledding life in Lapland. The work is physically demanding but rewarding, and I was very lucky with the volunteer group, whose support and guidance made the experience truly special. However, organization and communication can be challenging. During my stay, two volunteers and one worker were suddenly asked to leave without any warning due to “mistakes”, which felt very harsh given the level of supervision. Best suited for flexible, independent people.

Husky Dreams offers a truly unique Arctic experience: beautiful landscapes, long sunrises, northern lights, dog sledding, and working daily with around 50 dogs, each with their own personality. I learned a lot and met volunteers from many countries. However, the owner is often absent and seems to be going through personal difficulties, which currently affect organization and communication. Volunteers are sometimes asked to take on major responsibilities with limited supervision. My stay ended abruptly and was emotionally difficult. An amazing experience for flexible and independent people.

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🫶

My two months at Husky Dreams were an incredible and unique experience. I loved to be surrounded by beautiful landscapes, northen lights and dogs. The dogs have all such great and unique personalities. You also learn a lot about them, the dogsledding and the work around it. The work can be hard during the high seasons but if you're willing to learn, work hard and are flexible with the working hours it will be very rewarding. I would recommend this experience and I hope to come back soon!

My month in Husky dreams was an amazing experience, I learn a lot about dogs, sledding and snowmobiles and at the same time being surrounded by incredible landscapes, auroras boreales, lovely dogs and amazing people who make me feel like home. The work can be hard during the high season but is balanced with quiet days that allow you to rest an enjoy the places around. I fully recommend this experience which has been one of the best of my trip, I hope comeback some day :)
