Piney Woods Pet and Home Sitting

Specialties

I provide personalized at-​home pet care and home sitting. Following the your instructions, I feed and water pets, and provide exercise and medication if needed. I spend quality affectionate time with your pet, giving personal attention and love. I keep an eye on the home by bringing in mail and newspapers, alternating lights, opening and closing blinds, watering plants, and giving the home a «lived-​in» look. I also offer custom services such as pet taxi, errands, pool equipment monitoring, and watering outdoor gardens, potted plants, etc. .

I am bonded and insured. My charges are based on the number of pets you have, the number of daily visits you need, and any special services you require. I will even stock your refrigerator just before your return so all you have to do is come in and relax!

History

Established in 2013.

I recently retired from full-​time elementary school teaching after 38 years in the classroom. I am a mother, a grandmother, and a wife. I have also been a pet parent since my 5^th birthday!

My current pets are Rusty, a rescued Texas Cattle Dog, and Cooper, a pedigreed Maine Coon kitten. Over the course of my lifetime and teaching career I have raised and cared for, loved and spoiled chickens, rabbits, reptiles, a pet Dumpy White’s tree frog (that lived for seven years!), gerbils hamsters, tropical fish, birds, and many many cats and dogs of all breeds. I promise to love and care for your pets as my own.

Susan S.

Business Owner

For over 30 years, parents have entrusted me with the care and education of their precious children. Leaving the teaching profession was not easy, but it was a blessing all the same. I was able to move back to my home state of Texas after years of living in the midwest, and I was given an opportunity to travel to Peru on a Christian mission trip last November. I’ve also been able to devote more time to work in my church and in my community. Loving and caring for animals is a natural for me.

My husband Stan and I make our home just outside of East Mountain, Texas near Longview. Stan teaches people how to ride motorcycles for Motorsports Training Center. We have four adult children and three grandchildren. We attend church at Fellowship Bible Church in Longview.
