When Lizzie Jones, pet sitter extraordinaire, is asked to watch over her best friend's two spoiled dogs at the posh gated community of Craggy Hill Estates, the last thing she expects is to wind up in the middle of a homicide. But that's exactly what happens when she finds her best friend's cheating husband and Danger Cove’s celebrity bodybuilder champ, Mr. Jupiter, floating facedown in his hot tub. To make matters worse, the police aren’t looking any further than the wife for a suspect—isn’t it always the wife? Well, not in this case—at least Lizzie refuses to believe it.
Between dealing with Craggy Hill's hot security guard, Tino Morales—who also just happens to be the man who broke Lizzie’s heart in high school, caring for her grieving friend, and watching three rambunctious dogs, Lizzie has her hands full. So she recruits her famous granddad, retired network field correspondent, Jimmy John Jones, to help her put two and two together to find the real killer. Was Mr. Jupiter murdered by one of his women on the side? A jealous, disgruntled employee? Or someone with a bitter and deep-seated hatred of the superstar? It's up to Lizzie, Jimmy John, and Lizzie's own pug, Vader, to crack the case before the killer claims another victim...this one much closer to Lizzie’s own heart!
Lizzie is seriously busy, she is slowly training for a Doctorate in Veterinary Science, volunteering at the local animal shelter and funding the former by being a live in pet sitter for Danger Cove, her latest job involves her and her pug Vader (so called because of his wheezing!) moving into a gated community whilst a body builder Mr Jupiter (stage name) is off on the BB circuit and his wife (Caroline) is away. The only problem is the two spoiled dogs keep howling and when the local security guard turns out to be the hot boy (now man) who turned her down for the Sadie Hawkins dance and the two of them discover a dead body then Lizzie's life starts spiralling out of control! The thing is Tino seems determined to make up for that disappointment and he and Lizzie, along with Lizzie's Grandfather/Guardian Jimmy John Jones start digging a little more deeply that the police chief has done - can they protect Caroline from ending up spending the rest of her days in an orange jumpsuit?
