Recurring

Home visits &

extended sitting

When you're away — whether it's a long shift, a work trip, or an extended vacation — your pets need consistent, reliable care from someone you trust.

Not a kennel. Not a stranger from an app. Someone who knows your home, knows your pet's routine, and shows up the same way every time.

Hooman for Hire provides structured home visits and in-home pet sitting throughout Anchorage, Eagle River, and Chugiak — handled by our trained, employed team with manager oversight on every visit.

Your Home, In Good Hands

Every team member is background-checked, bonded, and insured before they ever enter a client's home. We handle home access with care and have secure protocols in place for every visit. Your property is looked after the same way your pets are.

Image

Employed, Not Contracted

Every Hooman who visits your home is a trained W2 employee — not a gig worker. There's a manager overseeing every visit with established processes to move through every day. That's what accountability actually looks like inside your home.

No Boarding, No Kennels, No Disruption

Your pet sleeps in their own bed, eats from their own bowl, and follows their own routine. In-home care removes the stress of unfamiliar environments — and that difference shows up in how your pet behaves while you're away.

Updates After Every Visit

You'll never wonder how things are going. After each visit you'll receive photos, a written report, and any notes from your care team. Whether you're at work or across the country, you stay in the loop.

Pets Do Better in Their Own Home

Most pets are calmer, healthier, and easier to manage in the environment they already know. Boarding introduces stress that home care simply avoids.

Pets Enjoy:

  • Familiar sights, sounds, and smells that keep anxiety low

  • Their own feeding and sleep schedule, uninterrupted

  • One-on-one attention from a consistent team

  • No exposure to other animals' illnesses or stress behaviors

  • The comfort of their own space at the end of every night

Pet Families Enjoy:

  • Post-visit photos and updates after every single visit

  • A detailed report so you always know exactly what happened

  • Direct communication with our team throughout your trip

  • Confidence that your home is being looked after

  • The ability to travel — knowing everything at home is handled

For Hire

Trained, Employed Professionals

Every team member is professionally employed — trained, background checked, and supported by manager oversight on every visit. Not a gig worker, not a stranger from an app. A professional who is held accountable with standard processes.

Secure & Responsible Home Access

We take home access seriously. Our team is bonded, insured, and goes through a background check before being hired and trained. We follow secure, consistent protocols for key handling and property access — so you can travel with genuine confidence that your pets, and your property, is in good hands.

Communication & Updates

You are notified when your service begins, and receive a GPS-backed report with photos upon completion of each visit. Transparency is key when it comes to your pets and home.

Experienced, Attentive Care

Our team understands breed-specific needs, recognizes behavioral and health shifts, and knows what to watch for during each visit. We pay attention — and we communicate what we notice, so you're never in the dark about your pet's wellbeing.

Ready to Set Up Care for Your Pet?

All new clients start with a free Meet & Greet — our manager comes to your home, meets your pets, learns their routine, and makes sure every detail is captured before your first visit. No charge, no commitment until you're ready.

Most of our pet sitting clients become recurring members — scheduling regular home visits alongside walks or standing care for when they travel. We'll help you figure out what makes the most sense for your household.

commonly Asked Questions

How does home access work?

We handle home access with care and clear protocols. During your Meet & Greet, we'll discuss the best method for your home — whether that's a key, a lockbox, or a door code. Access information is stored securely and is only shared with the specific team members assigned to your household. Our entire team is background-checked through Checkr and bonded and insured, so you have professional accountability behind every person who enters your home.

We highly suggest a lock box. When a garage or key code is the primary form of access, we will request a key for backup in case of a power outage, low battery, or simple malfunction.

Will my pet have the same sitter for every visit?

We operate as a professional team, and consistency is something we actively prioritize. In most cases your pet will see familiar faces throughout their care. Our team-based model also means that if a schedule change ever occurs, your pet's care never skips a beat — because every team member is trained, briefed on your pet's profile, and held to the same professional standards.

What happens if my pet gets sick or has an emergency while I'm away?

We take this seriously. Our team is Pet First Aid certified and trained to recognize signs of illness or distress. If we notice anything concerning during a visit, our manager will contact you immediately with details. If we cannot reach you and we believe your pet needs veterinary attention, we will act in your pet's best interest and contact your designated emergency contact and veterinarian. We document everything and keep you fully informed throughout.

Do you stay overnight in my house?

Our pet sitting service is structured around multiple daytime visits — typically between 6 AM and 10 PM — so your pet is well cared for throughout the day and settles in for the night in their own environment.

For most pets, our Signature Care Package with four daily visits provides all the coverage and comfort they need while you're away. If you believe overnight care is necessary, we are happy to learn of why and see how we can best support your needs - even if it's pointing you to another professional sitter.

What pets do you care for with Home Visits?

We care for dogs, cats, small animals, birds, and fish during home visits. We also provide homestead and backyard care for chickens, goats, and other livestock — which is a separate service. If you have a less common pet or a specific care need, just ask during your Meet & Greet and we'll let you know if we're the right fit.

How will I know what happened during each visit?

After every single visit you'll receive a post-visit report through our Time to Pet portal — including GPS report, time stamps, photos, a summary of what was done, and any observations about your pet's behavior or health. You'll always know your pet was cared for, without having to chase us down for an update.

Can you administer medications during visits?

Yes. Medication administration — oral, topical, or injected — can be included in any home visit or pet sitting arrangement. We ask that you walk us through the process during your Meet & Greet and provide clear written instructions so our team handles it exactly the way your vet has directed.

How far in advance do I need to schedule pet sitting?

For planned travel we recommend reaching out as early as possible — especially during peak seasons like summer and the holidays, when our schedule fills quickly. Members receive priority scheduling, which means their regular care dates are held in advance. For new clients, we always start with a Meet & Greet before the first sitting begins, so building in a little lead time ensures everything is set up properly before you leave.
