Professional Homestead Care

You can Count on

Finding someone you can actually trust with your backyard animals is harder than it should be. Neighbors get busy. Friends forget. And most pet sitters don't know the difference between a broody hen and a sick one, or when beaks and hooves need trimming.

Our team is trained, employed, and experienced with the daily routines that backyard animals depend on — feeding schedules, water checks, egg collection, milking, enclosure safety, hoof trimming, and basic health monitoring.

We show up, we know what to look for, and we keep you updated after every visit. If you have a homestead or urban farm and you've been looking for reliable professional care, you've found it.

Get Started

We Know Backyard Pets

Chickens, ducks, goats, rabbits, pigs — every species has its own daily routine, its own warning signs, and its own needs. Our team learns yours before the first visit and handles each animal the way they're meant to be handled. No guessing, no improvising.

Full Routine, Every Visit

We don't just check that everyone's alive and leave. We feed, water, collect eggs, trim hooves, milk goats if needed, check enclosures for safety issues, clean as needed, and give unique pets real engagement and activity. Your normal routine, maintained.

Updates After Each Visit

After every homestead visit you'll receive photos, a written report, and notes on anything we observed. If something looks off — a hen acting lethargic, a gate latch that needs attention, a water line that froze — you hear about it immediately.

Employed, Accountable, Trained

Every Hooman who cares for your animals is a trained W2 employee — not a neighbor doing you a favor, not a gig worker from an app. There's a manager overseeing every visit with established protocols. That's what professional homestead care actually looks like.

Backyard pets We Care For

We work with a wide range of backyard and small homestead animals. Every animal has different routines, different needs, and different things to watch for — and our team takes the time to learn yours before the first visit.

Not sure if we can help with your specific animals? Just ask — we're always happy to talk through what you need.

Finally, Reliable Care While

You're Away

Whether you're heading out on a slope rotation, leaving for a week, or just need consistent daily help during busy seasons — your backyard animals don't stop needing care because your schedule got complicated. We provide professional homestead visits that keep your animals healthy, your routine intact, and your mind at ease while you're away.

Many of our homestead clients set up recurring scheduled visits or during specific, planned absences. If your animals need daily support, a standing schedule is the most reliable way to make sure they're always covered — and it qualifies you for our member rates.

We Actually Know What We're Doing

Backyard animals aren't house pets and require different needs. Our team knows the difference between a hen who's gone broody and one who's unwell. We understand healthy goat behavior and what to watch for. We have been trained to observe, not just check a box.

Employed, Accountable, Professional

Every team member is professionally employed — background checked, insured, and supported with manager oversight. When we say we will be there, we show up. If something comes up, our management team ensured coverage. You're not relying on a neighbor's goodwill or a stranger online.

You're Always in The Loop

You receive an update when we arrive, and upon completion of our visit. if we notice anything concerning — an animal acting differently, a fence that needs attention, a waterer that could be frozen — we contact you right away. You aren't left to wonder.

The Only Professional Homestead Team in Anchorage

There is no other professional, employed homestead care team operating in Anchorage. Most pet sitters will decline backyard animals entirely, or show up without the knowledge to handle them safely. Our team has trained in chicken care, goat behavior, waterfowl needs, and small animal health monitoring. We don't learn on your animals — we come prepared.

Let's Build a Care Plan for

Your Homestead

Every homestead is different. We start with a free consultation — our manager comes to your property, meets your animals, learns your routine, and makes sure we have everything we need before the first visit. No charge, no commitment until you're ready.
