“We are so grateful for Erin helping us out with our doggy Rio! We recently moved and Rio was used to me coming home every day at lunch but now I’m too far away. It’s so nice having Erin be able to go do that for me now a couple times a week. She always has the best Rover cards after each visit that are very detailed and include several pictures!”


About: I’ve taken care of many types of animals since I was a kid including dogs, cats, geese, ducks, chickens, and wildlife. I’ve had and cared for many special needs animals. Including those suffering from renal failure, CHF, diabetes, and cancer. All just need and respond to love. I am available in the Albany/Leesburg/Worth County area for early morning and evenings as well as weekends. I am available in the Albany/Leesburg area mid day. I will provide a loving resource to care for your pet or pets in the environment they’re most comfortable in, their home. Stress and fear are just as hard on pets as they are for people.

About: Whoever said diamonds are a girl’s best friend never owned a dog. My two girls and I are dog people. We’re settling into a new home and are eager to welcome your companion into their home away from home. We’re an active, flexible family with a passion for animals. With a lifetime of experience with dogs and cats, I'm confident we can meet your needs and theirs. I work weekdays, 6 hour days. During the work week, I have the flexibility to meet most care needs, including frequent bathroom breaks during the day as I am just minutes from my home. My goal is to provide your pet with an environment and routine that will make them feel most comfortable. We’ve got a very large, open yard and are minutes from Moultrie’s walking trail and dog park. I will only care for one client’s pets at a time. I can take up to two pets of the same client at a time. They will be required to be on leash at all times outside of the home. Must be crate trained. Sometimes our furry friends can get anxious in new environments. I find that having their crate up and available to them eases their mind and gives them a familiar place to be when they would like or for when I leave the home.


“We needed a sitter for three hours for our dog Billie while we were in town briefly for an evening concert. I highly recommend Megan and couldn't have been more pleased with the great care she provided. Her playful lab pup and Billie got along wonderfully. Megan was very responsive and friendly.”


About: I am very attentive with animals, organized, on time, and currently looking for some extra ways to earn a little more cash. I’ll make sure any requests you have are done the way you wish. I can feed, play, walk, and give any medications to your pet if necessary. If you have a usual walking route you like taking i’d be more than willing to comply. I’ve been around dogs long enough to know your basic dos and don’ts. I’m only available on weekends preferably mornings, unless you request ahead of time (no guarantees). please let me know if you have anything specific i should know about your pet thanks you :) I am looking forward to spending a small part of my day with your fur babies :) I currently work full-time, but have more than enough time on my hands on weekends and some weekdays depending on my schedule for the week. I love being around animals, they heal my heart especially after my dog passed last year. I truly desire some kitty or puppy love in my life. I live in a quite duplex apartment complex. I have a genuine love for animals, can follow directions, crate if needed, give medications, and entertain your babies for some time.

“Hibbah has been great! Our traveling circumstances changed on us (both times that we were booked with Hibbah) and she was kind enough to extend our reservation without issue. She also took extra steps to make sure our elderly cat got enough food and socialization while she was there.”


About: I’ve worked at the rescue in my hometown for a few years now, I’ve worked in 2 different grooming salons, and have also been involved with some vets. Working at a rescue and a grooming salon gives you so much experience to learn more about each breed and each dog. You get to learn everything about each sweetheart so we’ll over time that you also start to love them like they’re you’re own. I had to deal with almost every experience when it comes to pets as well. I love dogs so very much they have such a soft place in my heart and it’s always great to get to learn about their owners as well when they’re steady customers! I am a college student so I do have to leave for classes at times. January 6 starts spring semester so I will have classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays but will not be away for an extended amount of time. We live where there is a fenced in property, 2 large dogs who are very pet friendly. We take up lots of time with pets staying with us to make them feel as comfortable as possible and just because we absolutely love all fur babies!

About: I’m trust worthy and pet set often. Im a social worker that has passion for people and much as I do for animals. I enjoy being around dogs and all that they offer us humans. I currently work from home and my schedule is very flexible and can work around your pets schedule! Let’s schedule our first pet date and grow a friendship. I care for your pet as I would my own. I respect your home when I do pet sitting and inform you if any emergencies or pet concerns quickly. My home is equipped with small and medium crates of your pets need them and can frequently walk them in my community.

About: I started my own pet care business when I was 13 and have been doing it on and off ever since! It was my full-time career when I lived in Oregon and Virginia, but now I would like to get back into it since moving here! I have training with farm animals, dogs, cats, anything really! I have also worked with handicapped animals and animals that needed to be given medication. I do work full-time, but I have several animals of my own that I keep up with every day throughout the day so it’s very easy to add others into that routine. I keep several animals inside, however they can be confined to specific areas if I watch animals who need to have their own space. I live in the country so we have lots of room for animals to run, but we also have a fenced in area of our yard. I can accommodate pretty much anything you need!

About: I’ve had pets since childhood. We have owned 2 Great Danes as well as smaller breeds and cats. I have a heart for animals. I regularly donate food, litter, toys and cleaning supplies to our local shelter. Over the years I’ve done dog sitting for others. I am reliable and trustworthy. I worked in childcare/education for many years and have had a background check as well as being fingerprinted. I am available 7 days a week to care for your pets. I worked outside the home for 25 plus years in childcare/education. I have more time on my hands now and would enjoy helping families with their pet care needs. We live on 5 acres and have a fenced area for dogs to run and exercise. We are a tobacco free family. Our home is a large clean well maintained home. I separate my dogs for feeding and have crates for time to chill out, nap ect. We have beds and blankets for comfort and plenty of treats. We no longer have a cat as my almost 17 year old cat passed away this summer.

About: I volunteered at the Columbus Zoo when I was a teenager, taking care of some really awesome animals. I also watched my neighbors’ horses. My wife and I currently have a Great Dane and two cats. I am currently working part time so my availability is pretty flexible. I can definitely do pet sitting/walking on the weekends. Let’s get something scheduled! A fenced in yard is ideal for me, but I don’t have any issues taking your pet out on a leash to go potty if necessary. If your pet is comfortable being crated, I am comfortable putting them in a crate.
