Lifelong New Yorker and Pup Lover!

Pet care experience

Hi! My name is Lauren and I live in a luxury building in the Flatiron District near Chelsea/NoMad/Gramercy/West Village. I grew up in NYC with a teacup Maltese so I'm an expert in taking care of pets in the city. I've been on Rover for over a year now and cared for hundreds of pets all over Manhattan! I just started my MBA at Columbia Business School and am excited to continue caring for your as much as I can with my especially flexible schedule. I am home most of the day Monday-Thursday and do not have class on Fridays. I absolutely love all pets but prefer hypoallergenic for sitting as I am slightly allergic (with some exceptions), but this is not a concern for walks and drop ins. I live in a very safe building with a doorman and a spacious 1 bedroom apartment, so rest assured your pup will be safe and have plenty of room to play! I also live a 5 minute walk from Union Square and Madison Square Park if your pet enjoys playing there.

Lauren is amazing! My dog Kayto loves walking with her and gets excited to see her everytime! Lauren is flexible with last minute schedule changes and has helped me several times when I’ve been in a pinch. Thank you Lauren for taking such good care of Kay!

Lauren is the best!! Martin is still a puppy who can be a little crazy but Lauren is so understanding and good with him! She is super flexible & accommodating. I feel very very comfortable leaving my dog in her hands.

Our review is long overdue!! Lauren is the best dog walker and we are so happy to have met her. She is awesome with our dog and I know I never have to worry about anything when she comes. Our dog always looks so happy when he’s out with Lauren and I know she genuinely loves our pup :) I would 100% recommend her to anyone!! She is reliable and awesome.

Information Lauren M. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special quirks or needs! I'd like to know about their temperament, friendliness with people and other animals, their walking/feeding preferences, and if they have any anxiety. I also need to know if/how much they shed given I prefer hypoallergenic dogs.

A typical day

I will play with your dogs inside and take them for many walks! I love going for walks by the West Side Highway and High Line. There are dog runs nearby at Union Square and Madison Square Park as well if your pet enjoys playing there!
