About: Welcome to my care profile! Thanks so much for your consideration. My name is Goddess Jasmine (pronounced Yasmine). 🌻 I am a Muslim & Christ 🌟centered plantbased entrepreneur, author, and content creator from Chicago whose main focus is about reconnecting and interweaving ourselves with nature to cultivate vitality and a cohesive social eco environment in which every being thrives in harmony. I am an enthusiastic world traveler, animal and nature lover committed to sharing joy and my authentic glow everywhere I go. As a seasoned holistic wellness consultant, caregiver, empowerment content creator, and community herbalist I work from home and close to the earth because I love to be outside and nurturing all living creatures. My main personal values center integrity with my inner wisdom, and connecting deeply with all that there is in my environment by sharing love & compassion to every being I encounter. I believe that everyone’s presence is a gift so I take the time to be in gratitude with all living beings I encounter moment by moment. When I was younger I always had a big heart and would care deeply for everyone and everything. I grew up with a guiñea pig, a fish, making friends with trees and babysitting my younger siblings and neighborhood children. I often visited my grandmama’s house to help her play with and care for her German Shepard. As a teenager I attended a rural farming school in Vermont and volunteered on many farms near Boston where I learned how to grow produce and raise livestock namely, cows, ducks, chickens, turkeys, and goats. While In Claremont California, I obtained my BA in Environmental Analysis Africana Studies and a Minor in Studio Art, studying the intrinsic interdependence and the ultimate beauty and creative web connections that support and maintain life. Additionally, I often took care of many of my friends' dogs (chihuahua and other medium mix breeds) while away on extended trips, namely playing with pets, walks, bathing, and poop time. In my 20’s I have had various house sitting opportunities to collect packages and tend for pets, cats, fish and gardens. Currently as a full time dog walker, herbalist and land steward, I feed the local wildlife, tend to an abundant native species garden and perform other domestic duties to maintain the beauty of the home. I believe that we are one with nature so connecting with nature is how we connect with ourselves. Also as an avid world traveler, I look forward to connecting with local animals and plants of any environment.

About: I have grown up with many dogs. My childhood dog grew up with me and I learned to love and take care of a dog with her. Since then I have cared for many other dogs. Most dogs I have cared for have medical needs such as medication or certain foods. While I have a soft spot in my heart (and much experience) with senior dogs, everyone loves a puppy too! I have taken care of many high energy puppies who need to play! I am available most time! I work on call so my schedule remains fairly open! I am an early riser and love a morning pet session! With my pets in my homes, I ensure they are provided evweything they need and more. Safety health and well-being are top priorities for all animals in my life. I want to ensure there is nothing toxic for your furry friend to get into, while also providing engaging activities for them!

“Lisa "Rane" was fantastic with Bobby. She is prompt and personable. My dog received her well upon their first meeting. She and I developed a good rapport which led me to feel comfortable trusting her with Bobby. I will make her my first request when needing your service in the future.”


About: I’ve loved animals since I was a kid. My many years of pet ownership has trained me for this opportunity. My Chewy is both happy and healthy. I’m recently retired. My daily schedule is built around the needs of my boy, Chewy. He’s walked at minimum three (3) times a day; my friends and family know the routine. I have a secure deck to allow fresh air and free movement with guaranteed security. I have a crate if needed, but think all dogs should have free movement daily.

About: I've dog sat for friends and care for them like they're my own. Love to play around give out lots of cuddles/belly rubs. Like to keep dogs active, fed and hydrated. Always watching for pups needs. My schedule is pretty flexible between pilates training and such so i have TIME. Generally available 10 AM - 6 PM. I'll adjust my availability as pilates picks up so for now i'm pretty open. I like to follow owner's instructions for their babies. I love to go for walks around Hyde Park/ Lake side. If the owner has specific tricks/treats, i'm happy to share them with pups.

About: I have lived my entire life with dogs. My first dog was a year old when I was born, she lived a beautiful life until she was 15. My family then brought in another sweet black lab, which I primarily raised and trained. I have also raised and trained a chocolate lab, she is currently 6. I have recently moved to Chicago from the east coast and truly miss my fur babies. I currently work for a college as a football coach, with a very flexible summer schedule. My busy time is the fall, when our season starts. A lot of my work outside of practices and games, can be done remotely. Each pet will have different needs. You cannot treat and care for every pet the same. I will try to maintain your pets routine and schedule to the best of my ability

I have a reliable and insured vehicle, so trips to your location or preferred neighborhood isn’t an issue. I am located in North Hyde Park.
