Pet care experience

**Returning to Rover 2026. I've taken care of the pets and homes of my friends, family, professors, and employers for nearly a decade. I am punctual, detail-oriented, and in-tune with the feelings of those around me - whether they be a person or a pet. Quick FYI, my nickname is "Kai," so you'll see me called that in some of my testimonials. You can call me either Lauren or Kai. Other pet experience: - Rabbits - Lower-maintenance frogs and reptiles - Lower-maintenance birds - Lower-maintenance fish - Open to other exotics with proper directions

Lauren did great with our two cats! They were well cared for, we got timely updates, and Lauren was easy to coordinate with. We’d definitely hire Lauren again!

It’s so obvious that Lauren is a kind and considerate sitter. My cat was well cared for, got lots of lap time and appeared happy when I returned home. I highly recommend Lauren to anyone who needs to leave their pet in good hands while away. Thanks so much, Lauren!

Lauren picked up our request on short notice and we couldn’t be happier that she did. She’s a great communicator and sent excellent updates from her visits. Our cat is a squeaky little extrovert and we could tell he enjoyed her visits. Thanks, Lauren!
