Sam, Jo, Matthew, and Katie are four animal-loving kids who start up their own neighborhood service -- the Petsitters Club -- as a school-related community service. The kids' petsitting assignments turn out to be funny, challenging, and full of surprises -- and boys and girls will love reading the ten volumes that recount the Petsitters' adventures. These appealing novelettes are divided into chapters and are enhanced with lively black-and-white illustrations.

Matthew's job is to exercise Gazza, a very lively pony! The problem is that Matthew has never ridden a pony before in his whole life.
