In our home in Northern Sweden, volunteers help with the daily routines that keep everything running: firewood, repairs, maintenance, organizing shared spaces and supporting us when weâre away or busy in the veterinary clinic. Animal care is part of the environment, but not your main task. Some work is physical, and you should enjoy practical problemâsolving and taking responsibility. After an introduction, youâll handle tasks independently, and reliability is essential, as we sometimes need to leave the farm together. In return, youâll live with us, share our home and be treated as part of the family. You can expect an active, varied environment, lots to learn and a very real experience of life in the north.
Your days are structured but varied, with practical tasks that keep the place running smoothly. Youâll help with daily routines such as preparing food and feeding the animals, giving extra attention to senior dogs, keeping an eye on the dog yard, and cleaning shared areas (yards, dog spaces, kitchen, horse areas). Depending on your skills, you may also help with firewood, small repairs, or simple maintenance tasks. Optional: assist in the veterinary clinic with admin, cleaning, or basic support.
Shifts are flexible and usually around 5 hours/day but that can also vary depending on tasks and weather. There usually is time to enjoy nature, relax, or spend time with the animals.
This is a remote place, but not a quiet one â you must stay aware and attentive at all times.
Respect all animal areas and routines, especially with senior dogs.
No phone use or messaging while in the dog yard.
Keep shared indoor and outdoor areas clean and tidy â we share everything, including food.
Be proactive: if you see something that needs doing, take initiative.
Safety first: close gates properly, check latches, and think before you act.
No smoking
Be comfortable with physical work and changing weather.
Bring proper clothing, including rain gear.
A sense of humor and a positive attitude make life easier for everyone.
