Walk the dog;
Check the frog.
Poop patrol duty;
Scratch the cat’s booty.
Give huggies and smoochies
To all the poochies.
Parcel out treats,
Cat food and meat.
Pick up the mail;
Watch out for that tail!
Close the gate;
Keep everything shipshape.
Call the Vet;
When they cry or fret.
Sweep up the fur;
Make the cat purr.
Turn on the sprinkler;
Take the dog to go tinkle;
Clean the birdcage;
Return everyday.
Give the snake a fresh meal.
Turn on the light;
Stop the dog bite.
Measure out medicine;
Monitor air condition;
Wipe up the vomit;
Don’t step on it!
Water the plants;
There are no can’ts.
Leave them happy;
For a nice long nappy.
Lock up tight;
For a safe quiet night.
Clean the kitty litter;
What a great Pet Sitter!
