The Experience

We’re an Italian couple (43 & 51) who moved from Rome to the magical Lapland ❄️🌲. We have around 50 dogs 🐕, including Siberian Huskies and Alaskan Malamutes, and need help with their daily care 🐾. Tasks include caring for puppies, assisting with training, joining dog sledding adventures in winter 🛷, and outdoor maintenance 🏠. If you love animals and seek a true Lapland experience, come join our family! ❤️🐶 WE'RE LOOKING FOR A HELPER IN MAY

My 1st volunteering exp, and it was amazing!! Simo and Ale are kind and hospitable hosts. Always worrying about your needs and trying to make you feel home. They explain the work well and are patience about it. The place is beautiful and the dogs absolutely lovely, the work with them is easy and chill. Most of the work I did was with the dogs, but also helped with some gardening and cleaning. Room and facilities are very nice, clean and you have enough privacy. On my free time I explored the surroundings. Walking or by bike you can visit nearby rivers, hikes and lakes. Thx for everything!!
