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!

“Rebecca is fantastic. This was my first time using the app and she not only guided me through the process, but kept me updated daily! Highly recommend her to any and all.”

There's nothing quite like sharing a walk or run with a dog and burning off some energy together – it's where the real bond happens! My part-time work schedule, primarily in the mornings, provides ample flexibility to dedicate quality time to your pet. I'm committed to ensuring your furry friend receives multiple walks daily and feels completely at ease and happy during their stay. I'm also available for consistent communication to keep you updated on their well-being throughout the day. My home offers a secure, fully fenced backyard and a peaceful neighborhood perfect for leisurely dog walks. Plus, I'm just steps away from a dog park for extra energetic playtime! When caring for your pet in your home, I prioritize maintaining their familiar routine and ensuring a safe, comfortable environment by following your specific instructions meticulously. Your pet's well-being and your peace of mind are my top concerns.

“Cassandra listens and is trustworthy. We spoke for awhile exchanging dog (pet watching) experiences and I knew I could trust her with my dogs and my home: Her visit consisted of having lockbox access to our house, access to the dogs and returning everything as requested.”


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.

“Jasmine was amazing, especially on short notice. Thorough, communicative, and proactive. My favorite is when she left the light on because she knew it would be dark soon and wanted to provide some comfort. It was everyone you’d want in someone caring for your pup. Will definitely use her again.”


“Madison was absolutely wonderful, I can’t recommend her enough. I have a senior cat with some extra medical needs and she was incredibly patient and kind in taking care of him. I felt at ease knowing my kitty was in good hands with her!”


“Timothy was great with our sometimes skittish cat. We received daily updates and pictures immediately after all visits. You could tell that our cat liked him and that Timothy understood his nature. Timothy was more than pleasant, great communication, super prompt, and made us feel that our cat was safe and cared for. We would definitely hire him again.”

Leila R.
“I am very happy to recommend Leila for a position as a pet carer. We've known Leila for five years and our animals (four cats and a big dog) all love her. Our dog is the most demonstrative and does what we call her happy dance when Leila comes over: vocalizing, weaving around legs, wagging her tail, smiling, and generally letting Leila know how much she is loved. Our cats will sit with her or in her lap, and they don't do that with everyone. They know they're safe with Leila. I recommend Leila with all my heart, and I know you will love having her as part of your team.”

Jaz developed a beautiful bond with my dog, whom I would leave in their care again anytime! They always bring a little bit of magic with them wherever they go, and that’s what makes them such and amazing pet sitter— plus, if you have plants, they’ll thrive under Jaz’s nourishing care!!”

I cannot say enough positive things about Emma! She is communicative, thorough, follows instructions perfectly, and genuinely cares about my pets. This is my second time booking with her, and I felt 100% comfortable and confident that my kitties were well taken care of. Whether it’s a short trip or a long one, I’ll only book Emma!

I can't say enough wonderful things about Peyton as Sheba's pet sitter! Sheba absolutely adored having Peyton around, and it was clear that she enjoyed the company and time spent outside. Peyton went above and beyond to make sure Sheba was well taken care of, offering plenty of love, attention, and outdoor playtime. If you're looking for someone who is reliable, caring, and truly understands pit terriers, I highly recommend Peyton for anyone's pet sitting needs. She’s fantastic!
