Meet the Pet Sitters
Lina has a different animal t-shirt for every day of the week. Living next door to Gus the cat and down the street from her best friend Cassie means its easy to pet sit together. Lina will do her best to make sure everyone stays out of trouble… even Gus.

Gus might look like the grumpiest cat on the block, but if you give him a scratch behind the ears and call him 'adorable' he'll be your friend for life. Gus loves to complain when he thinks he's not getting enough attention. He might make a fuss, but he always saves the day.

Cassie loves to make things look 'purrrrfect'. She dances and twirls, and she'll decorate anything that will stay still long enough. As Lina's best friend and a Pet Sitter, Cassie's 'ready for anything'… even when things don't go to plan.
