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.

“Lauren has been helping with drop in visits with our new puppy. We appreciate her help and have been very pleased”


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.

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!”
