When a group of children forms a club to babysit animals, they end up with a pet goat which leads them on a series of wild adventures.

The members of the Petsitters Club find themselves very busy when they agree to take care of a pampered Yorkshire Terrier and the "virtual pup" of a classmate who has to have his tonsils out.

Because neither Sam nor her father realizes that a garter snake dropped off for "petsitting" has escaped, they can't understand Aunt Cynthia's alarming shrieks.

The Petsitters Club has an unwelcomed, rude feathered guest that they must keep quiet because Sam's Great Aunt Cynthia is visiting.

The Petsitters find themselves in trouble when Matthew, insisting that he knows horseback riding, agrees to exercise an independent-minded pony in his owner's absence.

Trying to earn enough points to win the Community Service Award, the Petsitters agree to take care of a pet rat as well as Bruno the dog.

When his baby sister arrives and nobody pays attention to Denzil anymore, he is ready to run away from home, until he discovers how proud he is to have a sister who is the most disgusting monster around.
