U of M grad student & animal lover
Pet care experience
Hi! My name is Lauren, and I am currently pursuing my medical degree at U of M. I'm an animal lover myself, and "mom" to a 2 year old hound mix and a 10 year old chonky cat. As a grad student on a budget with a tricky schedule, Rover is a great way for me to help pay some bills while getting to spend time with your awesome pets! I have been caring for other people's pets for the last 11 years (primarily in Chicago, D.C., and Boston), and have extensive experience and references. I am happy to walk multiple dogs at once, or to take your pup on a long walk or run. Feel free to let me know if you have any special requests, and I will be happy to accommodate them.
Reviews
I've known Lauren for several years - she is a responsible and caring person who would make an excellent dog walker. She has watched my dog several times for me, and I would absolutely trust her to do so again.
Lauren is an amazing dog walker and pet sitter! She has taken care of my dog, Oliver, numerous times. Oliver is 13 years old and has a lot of special needs — he requires medications a few times a day and needs someone very responsible to watch him in case he seems like he’s not feeling well. I don’t let a lot of people take care of my dog because I need to be sure he’s in good hands. Lauren is one of the few people that I trust to walk and watch Oliver. She’s loving, caring, and very responsible — and will make an amazing friend to your pets :).

Safety, trust & environment
I have a medium/large dog and one cat at home, so we are pretty selective about having clients stay over with us. When at your home, I like to keep your pet's routine as close to normal for them as possible. Whether we are on a walk or if I'm boarding at your home, I will always treat your pet like my own, and with the same care and attention I expect from my own dog walkers!
Information Lauren C. would like to know about your pet
Please don't hesitate to let me know if your pet has any special needs or triggers (ex. does not like men, dog reactive, scared of bikes, etc.).
A typical day
My own dog is *crazy* high energy, so I'm very familiar with the local hiking trails, dog parks, and walking paths. Whether your pup just wants a slow sniff-ari walk, wants a workout, wants to play fetch, or even go down to the river, I'm happy to accommodate them!

Availability
As a graduate student, my schedule can vary greatly. However, when I have days off or blocks of research time, I typically like to do a few walks each afternoon or evening.
