We Built The Pet Care Company We Wished For

We needed more for our pets — deeper understanding, higher standards, and stronger professionalism.

We didn't find it, so we created it.

Rooted In Anchorage. Driven By Passion And Experience.

Hooman for Hire was created in 2019 with one goal: to build the kind of pet care company Anchorage needs and deserves. Our founders come from backgrounds in veterinary medicine and passion for providing pets with the best possible experience - every single day. We integrate extensive knowledge and enrichment methods into every service we provide, ensuring your pets are fulfilled beyond a simple walk or snuffle mat, no matter their physical capabilities.

Our team is trained, employed, and genuinely invested in the pets they care for. We encourage consistency and routine, which is why Membership perks are automatically activated with a weekly schedule. Anyone can walk a dog or check on a cat. Not everyone understands the specific needs of each pet, will notice when subtle symptoms arise, or can manage an unexpected situation. But we DO!

We're proud to be part of this community, and we'd love to be part of your pet family's care team.

What We Believe

Your standards aren't too high.

Pets are an essential member of your family and they deserve a team that will go above and beyond to see they are treated that way. The pet owners who care the most deserve care that exceeds their expectations.

Consistency is the whole point.

The real difference in your dog's behavior, your cat's stress levels, your own peace of mind comes from a team that shows up the same way every single time.

Accountability isn't optional.

Our team completed professional training and follows our established processes and procedures.

This community deserves the best.

Anchorage and Eagle River are tight-knit communities and we look out for each other. Hooman for Hire lives to serve our pet families and pet-loving neighbors.

We built this company for pet owners who care deeply. If that sounds like you, we think you'll feel right at home with our team.
