House Sitting Cosgrove

“We don’t typically like to leave our girls over the 4th of July due to firework anxiety, however our girls really loved the previous visit from Carly so we decided to give it a try and they did SO well! Carly made sure they were comfortable and spent extra time with them when she felt like they needed it! Carly is absolutely our “go to” sitter now!”

“Josie was absolutely amazing! She stayed in our home for several days to take care of Simba and Blondi, and we truly couldn't have asked for a better experience. From the very beginning, Josie was friendly, professional, reliable, and incredibly thoughtful. She immediately made us feel comfortable, and it was clear how much she genuinely cares about animals. Throughout our trip, she kept us updated with regular messages, photos, and videos, which gave us complete peace of mind knowing our dogs were happy, safe, and in such caring hands. It was obvious that Simba and Blondi were receiving lots of love, attention, exercise, and affection. Josie took the time to get to know their personalities and routines, and she treated them with the same care and patience as if they were her own pets. When we came home, they were relaxed, happy, and clearly very comfortable with her. Josie also took wonderful care of our home. Everything was spotless, organized, and exactly as we had left it. It was such a relief to come home knowing both our dogs and our house had been so well looked after. We especially appreciated her excellent communication, dependability, kindness, and attention to detail. She went above and beyond to make sure everything was taken care of, and we always felt confident that Simba and Blondi were in the best possible hands. We wholeheartedly recommend Josie to anyone looking for a trustworthy, responsible, compassionate, and dedicated pet sitter. She exceeded all of our expectations, and we feel incredibly lucky to have found her. We will absolutely be booking with her again in the future. Thank you so much, Josie!”

“Sidney is the best! First time I left my dog Zoey with dog sitter and we couldn’t be happier! She is responsible, caring… even cleaned my house before I cam home. My dog, Zoey is worn out from all the trips to dog park, playing, and got her first pup cup icecream! We will definitely be using her again soon!”

“Katelyn was great!! She was great at communicating with us and we felt comfortable knowing the dogs were in good hands! We would recommend her and happily have her watch the dogs again!”

Gabby H.

“Hailey was so great! She was communicative, sent pictures of the pups, and left our house cleaner than when she arrived. She really went the extra mile and took such great care of our home and our dogs while we were gone. Highly recommend using her as a sitter!”

“Auden and Yen (her right hand canine assistant) kept our 8 month old female Birdie safe, loved ,exercised and entertained for eight days at our house while we had a trip out of state. First time we have left our puppy with a pet sitter and we’re naturally anxious at first but felt completely relaxed and confident with Auden especially after many cute pictures and texts of Birdie and Yen playing, sleeping and on walks together. Such a relief to find someone you feel safe leaving your pet with.”

About: Hi! I’m Lauryn, a University of Iowa student who has been surrounded by dogs my entire life. Growing up with multiple dogs taught me how important patience, consistency, and love are when caring for pets. I understand that every dog has a different personality and routine. Whether your pup loves long walks, playtime, or simply needs someone to stop by for potty breaks and company, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I’ll always treat your pet like they’re my own. During every visit, I’ll send photo updates so you can feel confident knowing your dog is happy and safe while you’re away. I pride myself on being dependable, communicative, and flexible with scheduling. I look forward to meeting you and your best friend! I’m currently a student so I do have classes everyday but I am able to take care of pups in between them! I am able to care for your pet on week days. I will oblige to whatever fits your dogs needs! Whether that be going for walks, staying in your yard for a potty break, or just stopping in to give them some love!

About: Growing up with dogs and cats, animals have always been the light of my life. I know how much being away from your fur babies (unexpectedly or planned in advance) can induce anxiety and additional stress. The hardest part of leaving is ensuring you get to come home to your pets being well-cared for, healthy, and excited to see you. Whether it be how I enter the home, how your pet is fed, or oddly time potty breaks, I understand that pet has unique needs, and I am completely open to adjusting my care to meet your pet’s needs. You can fully trust me to take care of your other family members that may not be able to travel with you. I’ll even send regular updates and photos, if you would like (I know I do). I’m looking to fill some extra time. I have a partner who can care for my 2 fur babies while I’m providing service, so I’m extremely flexible with timing and scheduling. I am open to drop-in visits, spending the night, or any other arrangement you prefer. I am okay with cameras in or outside the home, given I’m aware of them. I want you to trust that I will provide the utmost quality of care, but I also understand that is earned rather than given. I can send regular updates at your request, and provide personal contact information for extended trips.

About: I grew up on a farm and I was always finding animals to bring home amd take care of. I have lots of experience with kittens, puppies, goats, and cows. Pill and medication giver expert. CPR trained. I currently work 3 days a week and I'm home most other days. We typically spend our free time of walks or hikes in the area as there as plenty beautiful trails near by. My husband who also loves animals and has many years of experience, lets the dogs out during lunch time, on days that I work. I have a large fenced yard and a friendly dog to play and keep other pets company. We also have a large basement where we can separate the animals as needed. As well as kennels.

About: I’ve always been an animal lover and have grown up surrounded by cats and dogs. Caring for pets has always come naturally to me! I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playing, bathing, and simply spending time with your sweet friend. I’ve also worked at a dog daycare, which gave me hands-on experience with dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. My husband and I will do our very best to create a calm and comforting environment for your pet. I’m happy to stick to their routine, give extra snuggles, or just sit with them quietly if that’s what helps them feel safe. I’ll also send regular photo and text updates so you can see how they’re doing and feel reassured while you’re away. I’m currently a nursing student, so my schedule will depend on my classes and clinicals, but I won’t be working another job so it gives me plenty of time to care for your pets. Whether you need help with daily care or overnight stays, I’m happy to come to your home to feed, walk, play with, or simply keep your pet company. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness are my top priorities and I’ll always care for them as if they were my own.
