THE DOG SITTER is a feel-good romp that follows one woman’s unexpected self-discovery when she takes a 30-day dog sitting job in NYC despite not being a dog person (or a people person, frankly).
Freshly divorced, newly evicted, and suddenly strapped, Colleen Fitzroy has no choice but to work for former boss, Massimo Locatelli, the sexist editor of Savor Magazine, dog sitting his precious Aldo while he decamps to Italy. It may be the perfect job. With Massimo out of town, she’ll be completely on her own.
That’s until an endless cast of New Yorkers—who all possess a key to Massimo’s apartment—appear daily. As Colleen fields random strangers and Aldo’s separation anxiety, Massimo notes her pluck. He taps her for his truffle venture, which plunges her into Manhattan’s rarefied restaurant world and triggers a shameful secret—forcing Colleen to decide where her obligations lie. A self-reckoning may be inescapable when she learns—from a dog—what it means to be human.
With humor and heart, THE DOG SITTER is an irresistible portrayal of one woman’s serendipitous awakening, proving it’s never too late to start living authentically.
For fans of Steven Rowley’s THE GUNCLE & Allison Espach’s THE WEDDING PEOPLE.
