Working with the seaveys

 

 

Whether you want to become an Iditarod musher, or just spend a summer in Alaska with sled dogs, we offer some very hands-on, educational, and rewarding employment opportunities.

 

Winter (October to April) jobs range from walking puppies to racing our young teams in the Iditarod.  Our handlers are involved in every part of running a competitive kennel, and leave with all the knowledge to start their own program. 

 

Summer (April to September) we do dog sled rides in Seward and Girdwood, and shows in Anchorage.  Positions available as tour guides, handlers, actors, bus drivers, and reservationists. We have a very short season, so we have to hit it hard.  Our crew is young (mostly 15-25), likes to have a good time, but they work hard.  A very competitive wage makes this a great way to earn money for school or save up for the racing season.

 

These are demanding jobs, not just an adventure, so be prepared for hard work and cold weather. We maintain a very clean, professional kennel, which involves a lot of responsibility, and we strictly enforce a no drug or underage/excessive drinking policy. Housing is provided in Seward and Sterling.  We are very selective in hiring, but character is more important than experience.

 

If you are interested in either a summer or winter position, please e-mail danny@ididaride.com. I look forward to hearing from you.   -Danny Seavey
