Sleeps with Dogs

Tales of a Pet Nanny at the End of Her Leash

"Sleeps with Dogs is an absolutely marvelous book, filled with sharp wit and a deep compassion for the companion animals we sometimes call pets. As she learns about the animals in her care as a pet nanny, writer Lindsey Grant discovers a new depth to her compassion and important truths about the animals' owners. This is a notable debut by a thoughtful, intelligent, and articulate writer."-Philip Lee Williams, author of A Distant Flame "Lindsey Grant's Sleeps with Dogs is a charming, poignant, and beautifully written memoir. Lindsey's life as a professional 'pet nanny' is filled with wonderful--and often hilarious--experiences. Each pet is a fully realized character with foibles, nuances, quirks, and neuroses; each owner with equal generosity, love, and grace. Along the way, Lindsey Grant shares all her very own insecurities, flaws, and anxieties with such stunning truth that you'll want to wrap your arms around her. When she finally meets the man of her dreams, you will truly root for her. This book is a wonderful--and wholly unique--love story: it's about pets, their owners, and their delightful, funny pet nanny who finds love along the way."-Amy Ferris, author of Marrying George Clooney "[Sleeps with Dogs] illustrates [Grant's] deep compassion for the animals in her care. Grant's often hilarious account is thoughtful, empathetic, and articulate... it will make readers alternately howl with laughter and groan in empathy. This enjoyable book should have wide appeal and is especially recommended for millennials, pet lovers, and entrepreneurs."-Library Journal
