Everyone says Ella is too little to handle big responsibilities. But when she takes on her first real job, pet-sitting, she is determined to prove them wrong.

How hard could it be? Feed the fish, refill the hamster’s water, give the parrot a cracker. Simple, right? Wrong.

Sir Bubbles the goldfish thinks he is training for the Olympics and will not stop splashing. Meatball the hamster has the appetite of a vacuum cleaner and a talent for stealing shiny things, including Mom’s favorite necklace. And Disco the parrot tattles on everything, copies voices, and shouts Ella’s secrets at the worst possible times.

With her brother Dawson laughing at every disaster, Ella has one chaotic weekend to keep the pets alive, return the stolen necklace, and survive until Sunday without her mom finding out. Can she outsmart three trouble-loving pets before the whole house turns into a zoo?
