“She is absolutely the best!!! She has taken care of our babies multiple times and always has been willing to help and give the best care of our 3 dogs.”


“Hibbah is topnotch - a fantastic sitter!! She watched our dog Wrigley for 12 nights over the holidays and provided expert care with compassion and the utmost professionalism. I really can't say enough. A couple days before our trip Wrigley lost a toenail completely. As this was essentially his first minor injury, we were very worried about infection and pain. Hibbah carefully monitored Wrigley's paw, washing after every walk, ensuring he took his medicine and that his cone was on when necessary. She provided us with daily updates and let us know that they were having a lot of fun! Knowing he was in such good hands and enjoying being with his new friend made all the difference in being able to relax while away. Upon returning home after a long flight, we were so pleased to see Wrigley in a very happy mood, and our apartment clean and organized!! ”


“Thank you Candice for taking such wonderful care of my babies! I had zero stress while I was gone. The communication was great and my two dogs loved her! I came home to two happy pups. Would highly recommend!!”


About: Daphne Leann - Single mother & business owner🫶🏼 I have been pet sitting for friends and family since I can remember. I also run a cleaning business and decided to add in pet & house sitting full time. I can understand the anxiety and challenges that come with having to leave your babies in the care of someone else. I am here to provide love and care for all kinds of critters and peace of mind for you! I am a single mother running a full time cleaning business so my time is very flexible. I can do up to 3 vists per day, overnight, and short notice if needed. I provide in-home visits only. This allows your pets to stay where they are most comfortable while keeping their daily routine. Up to 3 daily visits or overnight stays are available.
