Dusk-to-Dawn

Professional Pet Sitting Service

Our Sitters and Their Friends

Barney and Stacy

Stacy: "I started pet sitting about 3 years ago for some neighbors and then I was fortunate to be hired by Dusk to Dawn. I love taking care of pets! It has been a wonderful 3rd job/hobby. Our family has a dog named Jazz, 5 years old. He is a Rat Terrier. We have a horse named Barney, 6 years old. He is a Paint/Arabian cross. His real name is Barnabas, Son of Courage; but we just call him Barney. We board him at Shady Oak Stables in Hudson; which is a coop with about 35 horses. Our daughter Jessica does a lot of 4-H projects with our pets. We are also leasing a Quarter horse named Red (Red Hot Eddie). I teach preschool at St. Timothy Lutheran Church in Hudson, do chores at the stable 3x a week, and pet sit for Dawn. I'm a very lucky person."

Jon and Friend

"Pet sitting is a good job for me because I enjoy the sense of accomplishment that I recieve when befriending new animals. When I am able to overcome their fears, it puts a smile on my face. I have two Doberman Pinschers at home and a large fish tank. I can't wait to meet your pet."

Diane and Client Cookie

Diane has two dogs, Chance and Yukon. Chance is a lab/blue heeler mix, and he is almost ten. Yukon is a husky/wolf mix and he is thirteen. Diane says the best thing about petsitting for her is the unconditional love she receives from the pets.

Marilyn with Buddy and Maverick

Marilyn: "My pet is Missy, an 11 year old West Highland (rescued at age 6.) The best thing about pet sitting? Being called back to be with your furry/feathered kids. It is like seeing old friends who make each visit so much more than just a job for me!"

Sue with spoiled dog Marsha and illegal immigrant cat - Mr. Pumpkin.

Sue: "Best thing about petsitting: The expression on the pets' faces when I come in the door. They are so happy to see a me, and grateful to have that human touch. Priceless! I've been a professional petsitter for over 20 years."

Dawn with Eddie and Tazz

Dawn: "Best thing about petsitting is having the privilege of being the person you entrust to care for your precious pets. It is a delightful job and we serve the best clients on the planet! My own critters are Tazz, an eleven year old Australian shepherd/collie mix; Eddie, a one year old Pekinese mix; Zoey, a Himalayan; Mo Mo, a Persian; Sailor, a rescued domestic longhair, and Jewels, a rescued tabby."

Sandi and Sydney

"Sydney was born during the Sydney, Australia Olympics so she is about 9 years old. I am her fourth owner and she is my lap kitty.

About petsitting: I like it when the pets enjoy the visit. After the necessaries are done, I like to let the pets choose whether they want to play, or be petted or brushed. When walking dogs and there is a choice of several safe routes, I like it when the dogs chooses which direction to go and whether to walk right along or to sniff and smell the smells. I'm happy when they (and their owners) are happy."
