I am currently a full time professional student doing Rover on the side to help pay off my student loans! I still have school over the summer! My classes are from Monday-Friday. The times we have are variable for each day and are range from 8am-5pm. Drop-ins/dog walking: We usually have a 1-hour break at 11am where I can stop by if you live close to my school, or I can come when classes are over for the day. House-sitting: I am fully available to house-sit on weekends, but I have classes on weekdays. Though I am still able to house-sit on weekdays, keep in mind that I may be not be able to stay at your house for a chunk of the day, depending on my schedule. If you need weekday house-sitting, please reach out to me with the days you need and for how much of those days you need me to be at your house! I can check my schedule and get back to you. Sometimes, we have whole mornings off or get done super early, so it just depends.

Safety, trust & environment

Drop-ins/walking: I will always message you the time I completed my visit and send you photos of your furry friend! I can provide you with any details of the visit you need such as if they went potty. House-sitting: I know it's nerve-racking to leave your pet home and go off on a trip. I can send you updates with photos as often as you'd like so that you feel confident that they are in good hands. I'll always keep an eye out on my messages during my stay so I can answer you and respond with updates. I will reliably follow the directions you provide for me, making sure your pet feels safe & secure.

Information Lauren K. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know about any medications or treatments that you need me to administer. Also, let me know if there are any behavioral concerns you have about your pet that I need to look out for as well, and I can report back to you! I am also able to provide care for exotic animals, as I have experience with their care. Let me know if this is needed!

A typical day

I can provide your pet with anything that's typical for their schedule! Just let me know what you need, and I can provide them with playtime or give walks as needed. Also, I can do anything else you may need around the house such as watering plants, laundry, dishes, etc., since I'll be at your house already.

First-Year Veterinary Student!

Pet care experience

I am currently a veterinary student at the University of Arizona College of Veterinary Medicine, here in Oro Valley, AZ. As a student, I work with all kinds of animals, from companion animals to reptiles and farm animals! I graduated with my bachelor's degree in pre-veterinary science from Arizona State University in 2025 and hope to graduate with my Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) in 2028. I've been an animal lover since I was a child when I started volunteering at my local animal shelter! I've worked in veterinary clinics as a veterinary assistant throughout undergrad so I have a lot of experience with all kinds of pets. I love pet-sitting through Rover as a de-stressor from school, as animals always make me happy :)

We had a great experience with Lauren. She came by to let out my dogs Presley and Kovu and took such good care of them. She was reliable and communicative. The dogs seemed happy and comfortable with her. We really appreciated the updates and care she gave them and would absolutely book with her again. Highly recommend!

I'm a former client of Lauren and would highly recommend. She is very reliable, trustworthy, and was great with my french bulldog when I was away on vacation.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
