It was a wonderful experience. The place, the dogs and the owner are amazing. Be hosted in a small town in the mountain was such an experience i suggest to do. Very lovely and kind people. I appreciate it!

Volunteering at the shelter was my first experience with worldpackers and I couldn't have asked for a better one! Konstance and her dad are two of the most lovely people I've ever met and I really enjoyed working with the dogs and learning how to train them. The work hours were absolutely reasonable and Konstance went out of her way to make sure that everyone felt comfortable and not overwhelmed. I had a great time and would absolutely recommend this experience to anyone looking for some quiet downtime!

I spent 1,5 months volunteering with the shelter in Bardufoss, Norway, taking care of dogs: feeding them and taking them on daily walks. The work was about 4 hours a day, and the schedule was clear and fair, so I always knew what was expected and still had plenty of free time. Both hosts were welcoming, communicative, and genuinely sweet. I had my own lovely room, with a shared kitchen and bathroom, and felt at home quickly. The best part was spending time with the pups and learning how to train them, along with meeting new people and enjoying such a majestic place. Highly recommend!

I had a great experience at the shelter! It's located in a small town surrounded by beautiful nature. The work hours were absolutely reasonable, and the facilities are comfortable as well. During my stay I got to visit many cool spots around northern Norway, since I got there by car. The dogs are absolute sweethearts, although some of them can be a handful when you're walking with them. If you're an active person, who wants to get away from your busy life and enjoy the polar day/night, this is the place for you! I'm so grateful for my stay there and I highly recommend this position! :)
