Dog Sitters

by Rozsa Gaston

When Nicole and Tom Mays take a cruise to Bermuda, they arrange for their friends, Hint Daniels and Jack Whitby, who don't know each other, to consecutively dog sit their schnoodle, Percy.

Hint is supposed to hand off Percy to Jack on day five of the ten days their friends are away. But at the handoff, things go wrong and the dog ends up running away. Neither is willing to tell their friends the bad news that Percy is missing so they spend the next five days together trying to find the schnoodle despite wildly different ideas on how to go about it. Their contrasting personalities clash and before long, they are as eager to kill each other as they are to find the dog. Unwilling to listen to each other, they both rely on Jack's seven-year-old niece Marguerite, who advises them on how to find the dog.

Chaos ensues before Percy's owners return. Nothing goes as planned, including Hint's and Jack's feelings for each other. By the time the schnoodle reappears, Hint and Jack are madly in love. Now it will just take the rest of their lives to learn how to live with each other.

Dog Sitters

This was a great read. Very relaxing but interesting. Sometimes you just want to remove yourself from life's stress, this book will take you there.

A story you will enjoy! It was nice just sitting out on the porch swing late in the evening escaping the world right into this book. It has a little twist that I thought I saw coming and then didn't see coming until it did. This book is fun, it will keep you wondering before it's all said and done.

Nice story.

This was a nice book but I was wanting more. I have read other books that featured dogs and the dogs in the stories were not only a big part of the story but also a star of the story. In this case, Percy was pretty much non-existent through most of the story. This really would not have been an issue as this was the whole point of the story; except, for the fact that I only semi liked the characters. Ok, this is fully true. Hint, I liked, she was nice and full of life and hope. It was easy to see why she was a child illustrator. In Jack's case, first impressions really count. My first impression on meeting him was not good.
