Bookroo's summary

Summer's here, and Hazel is ready for a pet-sitting adventure. With friends away and her mom's watchful eye, she takes on the challenge solo. But as she juggles cats, dogs, and her own therapy, disaster looms. Can Hazel prove her independence, or will she need to ask for help and face the consequences? Dive into a summer of secrets, surprises, and self-discovery.

From the publisher

More heartwarming and humorous adventures await in the fourth book of this graphic novel series that is the Baby-Sitters Club for pets! Summer break is just around the corner, and the PAWS team is gearing up for a busy season full of dog-walking, travel, and fun! Gabby’s got a packed schedule with about a hundred different camps plus playing host to her mysterious cousin visiting from out of town. Meanwhile Mindy is headed to her dad’s house for a month-long stay. With so much going on, the girls are looking forward to scaling back and taking it easy this summer. . . with one exception. When the opportunity to cat-sit two new fur babies arises, Hazel jumps at the chance. Their new client’s house is even wheelchair accessible! But when everyone’s hectic summer plans mean she would have to take on the job alone, Hazel knows her overprotective mother would never approve. On the other hand, managing a side business all on her own could prove that she is much more capable than her mom might think… Hazel soon learns that juggling multiple cats and dogs along with her own physical therapy–while also keeping a big secret–is no easy task. When disaster strikes, will she have the energy to make everything right by herself, or will she be forced to reach out for help and risk getting into even more trouble?
