“Darkly funny, emotionally sharp, and impossible to put down, The Dog Sitter delivers the perfect blend of messy midlife reinvention, biting humor, and slow-burn tension. Readers who love complicated women, witty banter, richly flawed characters, and chaotic “what could possibly go wrong?” energy will devour Colleen Fitzroy’s unforgettable spiral into Manhattan luxury, emotional upheaval, and one very judgmental dog. Packed with razor-sharp observations, laugh-out-loud moments, and surprising heart, this novel captures the uncertainty of starting over while proving it’s never too late to reclaim your life.”

—Leah Tran, Manhattan Book Review

"With a bright, fresh, and very funny voice, Eva Natiello takes us on the journey of a woman who has no idea where she's going, but manages to find her way there with the help of one very New York dog and a cast of outrageous but believable characters. The Dog Sitter is a propulsive, charming, and wholly original book!" 

—Ellen Meister, bestselling author of Joyride and Divorce Towers

“The invisible subtitle of The Dog Sitter might well be When Ridiculous Yet Hugely Entertaining Things Happen to Good People. No one would choose the calamities that befall Eva Lesko Natiello’s midlife everywoman, and yet—somehow—by the end of this funny, sly novel, you find yourself wanting in. Natiello is a deft stylist and a sweetly incisive social satirist, turning one woman’s misfortune into something unexpectedly joyful, even aspirational.”

—Karen Karbo, bestselling author of Yeah, No, Not Happening and In Praise of Difficult Women
