Story
Laurie Zaleski never aspired to run an animal rescue; that was her mother Annie’s dream. But from girlhood, Laurie was determined to make the dream come true. Thirty years later as a successful businesswoman, she did it, buying a 15-acre farm deep in the Pinelands of South Jersey. She was planning to relocate Annie and her caravan of ragtag rescues - horses and goats, dogs and cats, chickens and pigs - when Annie died, just two weeks before moving day. In her heartbreak, Laurie resolved to make her mother’s dream her own.

"In the summer of 1991 I was a normal kid. I did normal things. I had friends and a mother who loved me. I was just like you. Until the day my life was stolen. For eighteen years I was a prisoner. I was an object for someone to use and abuse. For eighteen years I was not allowed to speak my own name. I became a mother and was forced to be a sister. For eighteen years I survived an impossible situation. On August 26, 2009, I took my name back. My name is Jaycee Lee Dugard. I dont think of myself as a victim. I survived...."

Where does a moderately popular internet star who never leaves her house look for potential suitors? Online. Tinder, Bumble, Match.com, OkCupid - I tried them all. My 31-year-old self clicked and swiped her little heart out, leading to more dates than I could count, and more disappointment than I was prepared for. Maybe you can relate. Maybe you know all too well the perils of modern dating.

You would never guess that Kim grew up behind the closed doors of her family’s idyllic Long Island house, navigating between teetering stacks of aging newspapers, broken computers, and boxes upon boxes of unused junk festering in every room - the product of her father’s painful and unending struggle with hoarding. In this moving coming-of-age story, Kim brings to life her rat-infested home and her childhood consumed by concealing her father’s shameful secret from friends.

With his big blue eyes and soulful expression, George was the irresistible runt of the litter. But Dave and Christie Nasser's "baby" ended up being almost five feet tall, seven feet long, and 245 pounds. Eager to play, and boisterous to the point of causing chaos, this big Great Dane was scared of water, scared of dogs a fraction of his size, and, most of all, scared of being alone. Giant George is the charming story of how this precocious puppy won Dave and Christie's hearts and along the way became a doggie superstar.

Jenny Mollen is a writer and actress living in New York. Until two years ago, her life was exciting, sexy, a little eccentric, and 100 percent impulsive. She had a husband who embraced her crazy - who understood her need to occasionally stalk around the house in his ex-girlfriend's old beach caftans and to invite their drug dealer to Passover seder (so he wouldn't feel like they were using him only for drugs). Then they had their son, Sid, and overnight Jenny was forced to grow up: to be responsible, to brush her hair, to listen to her voice mail.

Publisher's summary
Celebrities, Hollywood A-Listers, demanding divas, and run-of-the-mill egomaniacs. The Pet Sitter's Tale is Laura Vorreyer's funny, entertaining, and always heart-warming collection of short stories from her 15 years wrangling the furry children of Southern California's most colorful pet parents.
The Pet Sitter's Tale paints a vivid picture of what it's like to witness, and be a willing participant of, the pampered life of a celebrity's dog. Laura is always compassionate and understanding of the eccentricities of pet parents as she tells her tales of overly-protective, dog-obsessed clients. Along the way, Laura sprinkles her stories with business advice to the would-be dog walker or pet sitter.
Each story is infused with the author's unique sense of humor and observations about the foibles and adventures of furry children and their human counterparts. This audiobook sounds like a hybrid of The Devil Wears Prada and The Nanny Diaries, except with adorable dogs.
A perfect listen or gift for the pet lover.

Story
When best-selling mystery writer David Rosenfelt and his family moved from Southern California to Maine, he thought he had prepared for everything. They had mapped the route, brought three GPSs for backup, as well as refrigerators full of food, and stoves and microwaves on which to cook them. But traveling with 25 dogs turned out to be a bigger ordeal than he anticipated, despite RVs, the extra kibble, volunteers (including a few readers), and camping equipment.

Story
Tori Spelling is the first to admit that the "reality" behind her popular television show, Tori & Dean, isn't always real. Not even Star magazine could invent the true chaos that happens behind the scenes. Luckily, Tori is famously honest and self-deprecatingly funny when it comes to her personal life - she's always "Spelling it like it is". Tori here shares her stories, her biggest challenges, and more with the usual humor, candor, and down-to-earth charm that her fans love.

Short and Sweet
This was the very first time listen to the author, I enjoyed all the little "tails" throughout, but it feels like there needs to be another book, I know the book is all about dogs and the house sitting, but now I want to know if she left that awful boyfriend?Also I hope to be reincarnated to as one of these pampered pooches.
I have learnt from reading this book but also a lesson that I have learned in my own life, don't hire or be friends with someone you feel sorry for, it burns you every time.
This was a lovely short story and I would recommend this book to any future dog sitters or even just if you love animals and want to hear more about someone else who loves dogs very much.

Experiences of a pet sitter
This was an interesting look at the reality of being responsible for extremely pampered pets. These pets are loved and pampered more than most children and the expectations of some of the owners goes to the extreme. A large focus of this book is also on how difficult it is to hire good, reliable help. Some of the employees were so terrible it was laughable. One would have to be a big lover of animals to do this job and unfortunately, these employees were not.

Great Starting a Business Tail
This was a great short listen. It starts with her experiences of trying to make it in Hollywood as a make-up artist and how she evolves into creating her dog walking/pet sitting business. She does a great job narrating her book and it was a lot of fun to listen to. I will say that due to some of the content I would definitely say it is geared towards a young adult to adult crowd, although very funny I wouldn't want my middle school kids reading about her one day experience doing make-up for the porno studio... and I don't blame her at all for not returning. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and do still recommend to the adult reader.

The Pet Sitter’s Tale
An enjoyable listen about the authors experiences with becoming a dog walker and pet sitter. The pet stories were great but I also liked hearing about the experiences of setting up her own business. Well done!
