“I couldn’t have asked for anyone better than Kaitlyn. She was communicative, kept us up to date on the animals, sent pics, kept the house cleaner than I do, and the animals are relaxed and happy after our absence. It will be so much easier leaving them next time as long as we have Kaitlyn!”
“Owen was fantastic! He communicated well and took such great care of our sweet pup. He also took immaculate care of the house. We already have him booked for another trip. We are grateful to have found him - our pup loves him!”
“Melissa was great and easy to communicate! She spent lots of time with the pets and sent lots of pictures. She did all of the extra things and even made sure the house was tidy for us to come home to!”
“Anamarie was very thorough in her meet and greet and genuinely wanted to know all pertinent details she would need for the stay with our dogs. We were flooded with photos and videos of the dogs while we were away, just the way we like it. She was very respectful of our home and the fur kids loved her!! Will definitely be using her again!”
About: I have experience with dogs of all kinds. One thing that separates myself from other dog walkers is that I treat each pet how I would treat my own and I treat my own like my kids. My goal is to provide the same care for your dogs as I expect for mine. Pet care is a major part of my daily and weekly routine since I own a dog walking/sitting business. I am almost always available to meet my clients needs for their furry companions. The only times when I am not available is when I am coaching basketball. Unfortunately, I do not care for pets at my home. However, when caring for pets in your home I will keep them on the exact routine as they are accustomed to to make them as comfortable as possible.
About: I've been pet sitting, house sitting,farm sitting, and more for neighbors and connections since I was 5yo. While no one wants anything to happen to their pets, I have the experience to handle any abnormal incident or emergency that may occur while owners are away. I am an experienced dog trainer and Former Veterinary Technician. Over a decade handling and training service dogs, specifically medical alert and response dogs, using positive reinforcement methods. I can't wait to me you and your pets!! At the moment, I have created a pet and farm start up, so I can make you and your animal(s) needs fit my schedule. Pets(and their parents) are my top priority, so I will do my best to work anything in my schedule around yours and give you and your animals the best, most responsible care. I care for pets in their owners home at the moment, though I'm working towards building the ideal training and boarding facility to better serve locals with their pets needs.
About: I've grown up around animals my whole life and not only do I take care of animals of my own I've taken care of friends' animals as well. I have experience working with animals of all ages and sizes as I currently have 9 year old Great Danes who I've helped raise since they were puppies. I have cared for rabbits, hamsters, and even frogs. With my dogs I have experience managing medications and special diets. I wake up every day with my Great Danes and hamster so daily pet care is just a part of what I do. I have a flexible schedule and am happy to take care of pets any day of the week. I will follow your instructions to ensure each pet is cared for in the way they are familiar. I can take them on walks, give them play time inside or out and lots of cuddles.

About: My entire life I spent around dogs of various breeds and sizes, who I still dog sit on a regular basis. I have 3 cats of my own, as well as having had rescue turtles, bearded dragons, and an iguana. I have dog sat for other people for a good portion of my life. I work full time 10am - 6pm but am openly available on Wednesdays and Thursdays. I am available for overnight stays if it is necessary I’m pretty good with animals in general, never met a cat that disliked me and VERY rarely have I come across a dog that acted aggressively towards me. I have a lot of various experience in administering medication or providing care for a wide array of animals.
About: I am experienced in energetic puppies and also senior dogs needing frequent medication and some extra love. The only thing I have not done is teach a dog to eat my homework. Pet care plays an important role in my life, even while I'm at university. Since moving to Evansville for school, being away from my family dog has been one of the harder parts of the transition. Even with classes, taking care of other people's pets easily fits into my schedule. I prioritize safety, comfort, and cleanliness when caring for pets, whether in my home or a client’s. I follow owners’ instructions closely, ensure the space is secure and keep everything clean. I build trust with the pets by respecting their routines and giving them gentle attention. I also keep owners updated so they feel confident their pets are in good hands.

I enjoy taking them on the walking trails. I work as a CNA as needed. So I have a lot of time on my hands and I would love to have a side job and this I believe is perfect for me. I feed my dogs once a day around 5pm it helps keep them at a healthy weight. I give them treats when they come inside after they potty. I live out in the country so they have plenty of space to run. I will do whatever you need me to do with your pets you just tell me!

This dedication speaks volumes about Lily’s character and reliability.”

Lily M.
“I can’t say enough great things about Lily Meyer! She took care of my bulldog, Brisket, over the weekend while I was away on a short trip, and honestly, I don’t think Brisket wanted her to leave! From the moment she met him, Lily was warm, attentive, and totally in tune with his personality. Brisket is usually a little stubborn (as bulldogs tend to be), but he took to Lily right away—tail wiggles, snorts, the whole nine yards. What really impressed me was how much care she put into not just meeting his needs, but going above and beyond. She sent me regular updates and photos, which gave me total peace of mind. And the best part? She actually taught Brisket a couple new tricks while I was gone! He now knows how to give a high-five and spin in a slow little circle—something I’d tried for months with no luck. Lily clearly has a gift with animals and a ton of patience. When I got back, Brisket was happy, healthy, and clearly had a great time. I highly recommend Lily to anyone looking for a reliable, loving, and skilled dog sitter. Brisket and I will definitely be booking with her again!”
