Dog Walking

Our primary service areas include Anchorage, Eagle River, and Chugiak.

Predictable, recurring walks support muscular conditioning, behavioral stability, and emotional well-being. Dogs thrive on structure, consistency, and regular stimulation — and recurring care reduces anxiety and reinforcing calm behavior.

Yes. Care plans can evolve over time as your dog’s needs change. Adjustments are discussed with management to ensure consistency and proper scheduling.We do accommodate rotation-style work schedules as not to miss out on regularly scheduled service pricing.

Yes — with safety as the priority. Walks may be adjusted during extreme cold, ice, wind, or hazardous conditions common in Alaska. When needed, outdoor time may be shortened and replaced with appropriate indoor enrichment, based on your dog’s care plan.

For many dogs, yes. Sniffing and exploration provide significant mental stimulation and can be just as beneficial as longer, faster walks — especially for anxious, senior, or easily overstimulated dogs. We focus on what your dog needs most, not just time or distance.

We operate as a trained, team-based care model rather than a single-walker service.

While we aim for consistency whenever possible, your dog may be cared for by more than one trusted team member. Every walk follows a documented care plan that outlines your dog’s routines, handling preferences, and specific needs.

Because our team works from shared standards and detailed instructions, the experience remains steady and familiar — even if the person holding the leash changes.

This structure ensures dependable coverage, professional oversight, and consistent care quality at every visit.

All walks are completed by trained W-2 employees of Hooman for Hire — never independent contractors. Our team is insured, bonded, and supported by clear safety and communication protocols.

Occasional walks are available based on availability.

Member rates are offered with recurring services, scheduled 2 or more days per week. Members receive priority placement in our routes and consistent, structured care.

All scheduling, communication, and visit reporting are managed through our secure client portal.

Member schedules receive priority placement and are setup to auto-renew. We can accommodate minor adjustments for alternating work schedules, vacations, illness, and similar circumstances. 

Our team can help build a recurring schedule. We can support rotation work schedules.

Pricing is based on walk duration, scheduling frequency, and the level of professional care provided. 

If you would like support in building a schedule that best fits for your pup, we are more than happy to help! As we do aim for consistency and structure, we suggest starting with 3 services per week.

Pricing shown online reflects service for up to two pets. If services include three or more pets, we include an additional fee paired with additional time to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience. 

Gratuity is never expected and is always appreciated! Within our client portal, you have the option to add a tip based on a specified amount, a percentage, or even apply an automated percentage of your choice to be applied to each invoice. These are automatically distributed to staff appropriately. 

The first step is scheduling a consultation call. From there, we’ll guide you through the Meet & Greet, care plan creation, and service scheduling.
