CPR/ First Aid Pet Professional

Hi! I'm Taite- the owner of Paws & Peace Pet & House Sitting. As a teacher and lifelong animal lover, caring for pets has always been a big part of my life. I share my home with my two cats, Twix and Snickers, and grew up with dogs of all sizes—from a tiny Pomeranian to a Newfoundland/Great Pyrenees mix—so I'm comfortable and experienced with pets of all shapes and sizes. I'm Pet First Aid & CPR certified, fully insured, and have over 12 years of pet care experience. My goal is to provide dependable, compassionate care so you can have peace of mind while you're away. If you'd like to learn more about me and the services I offer, be sure to check out my Facebook page, Paws & Peace Pet & House Sitting!

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets in a client's home, I strive to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow each owner's care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, fresh water, medications (if needed), potty breaks, exercise, playtime, and plenty of love and attention. I also make sure litter boxes, cages, or outdoor areas stay clean and tidy. Beyond caring for your pets, I treat your home with the same respect I would my own. I can bring in mail or packages, water plants, take trash bins to the curb, adjust lights or blinds if requested, and ensure your home remains clean, secure, and well cared for while you're away. Communication is important to me, so I provide regular updates and photos throughout your time away, giving you peace of mind that your pets are happy, healthy, and in good hands.

Taite did an excellent job for us and we will be using her again when we travel.

Both dogs ?? seemed to take to Taite right away. It made our trip (funeral) much easier to deal with knowing that the dogs were being cared for in their own house.

Schedule

Pet care is a natural part of my daily and weekly routine. As a teacher, I provide pet care before and after the school day, as well as during evenings, weekends, holidays, and school breaks. My schedule is carefully planned to ensure every pet receives the attention, exercise, feeding, medications (if needed), and companionship they deserve. Whether it's a quick drop-in visit, a leisurely walk, or overnight care, I prioritize reliability, communication, and consistency. Caring for animals isn't just something I do—it's something I genuinely enjoy, and I love building lasting relationships with both pets and their families.

To provide the best possible care, I like to learn as much as I can about your pet before services begin. During our meet-and-greet, I'll ask questions about your pet's daily routine, feeding schedule, medications, exercise needs, favorite activities, personality, fears, triggers, and any medical conditions or special care instructions. I'll also gather your veterinarian's information, emergency contacts, and any important household details. While I'm caring for your pet, I pay close attention to their behavior, appetite, energy level, bathroom habits, and overall well-being. If I notice anything unusual, I'll contact you right away and follow the plan we've discussed. My goal is to ensure your pet stays safe, healthy, happy, and as comfortable as possible while you're away.
