I grew up taking care of 3 dogs! As such, I was a go-to house sitter for a friend’s business for over a year. Families have relied on me for: - walking - feeding - medicating -cleaning pets - tending plants - light yard maintenance - rides to/from airport I enjoy it so much, I thought it was time to hunt for jobs on my own!

Hawk is a very caring sitter, and even during a somewhat nightmare scenario (pup got loose, not his fault) was incredibly dedicated to fixing it and I just really appreciate the care he put in to the stay.

Hawken was amazing with our 1 year old black lab. Our puppy had surgery not long before we needed to leave for a wedding, and Hawken was very accommodating and followed the recovery plan perfectly. We will be booking with Hawken again the next time we need puppy care!

Hawk was terrific with our two big goofy dogs. Great communication while we were away, and we came home to happy, tired dogs. We’ll definitely look to rebook Hawk the next time we need a sitter.

Hawken was a fantastic sitter. Friendly, responsible and communicative. He sent daily updates with photo collages and it’s obvious from the pictures that both my cat and dog loved him. He was great with my high energy dog’s needs. Hawken also went above and beyond when my dog got stung by a bee/wasp on the last day, notifying me, going to the store for Benadryl, and staying later than planned to monitor my pup until I got home. On top of it all, my house was immaculate when I returned. I will 100% book with Hawken again!

I was nervous leaving Echo with someone other than family, but Hawken was amazing at communicating and was understanding when my flights were delayed. I’ll definitely be booking again

Hawk was incredible! Our dogs (aka the kids) were treated with the care and sweet attention they deserve. He went above and beyond to accommodate us when travel delays caused us to extend our trip by two days. Hawk provided excellent updates and photos. We’ll definitely book with him again!

Safety, trust & environment

I can host or housesit, depending on what is best for your pet: • Hosting - 1/4 acre fenced yard - Eagle River - ✅️ 7 days/wk - 🚫 no cats :( My parents have been gracious enough to make my childhood home available for hosting! We have a large dog-tested, dog-approved 1/4 acre yard surrounded by a fenced already lined with rocks at the base! Unfortunately, however, my father is allergic to cats, so that is only caveat! • Housesitting ✅️ Anchorage --> Eagle River ✅️ 7 days a week ✅️ Cats + Plants +

A typical day

I love exploring mountains trails! If you're on the hunt for a dog sitter, I'm on the hunt for canine hiking buddies. I make it a point to: - go out daily - hike less used trails - go out during less popular hours specifically to avoid any trouble with other dogs. I keep it simple: dog(s), bear spray, and myself.
