From the publisher

When Hank leaves his bike in the driveway to be run over by his dad, he needs to help pay for a new one. But Hank is a kid. What can he do? Pet-sitting sounds easy! But Hank’s first customer is huge, homesick Otis. When Janie, Hank’s pesky next door neighbor, tries to help, things spin even more out of control. What if Otis isn’t just homesick?
