Meet the veterinarians
About Dr. Eve Miller
I was born and raised in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania—home to my favorite teams, the Steelers and the Penguins! I loved animals from an early age and always looked for opportunities to be around them. I went with my mom when she took our family pets to the vet, and I eagerly volunteered to care for the class pet, a guinea pig named Buttercup, over the holiday break. It’s no surprise that I decided to become a veterinarian when I was 5 years old.
I completed my undergraduate studies in biology with minors in anatomy and mathematics at Colorado State University, and I was accepted early into Colorado State University College of Veterinary Medicine, where I received my veterinary degree.
As a veterinarian, I love caring for my animal patients and their owners. Over the years, I have developed a passion for pain management and end-of-life care, and I enjoy being able to help keep senior pets comfortable throughout their golden years.
It's never easy to lose a furry family member, but helping to end a pet's pain and suffering and comforting families through a difficult time makes me feel like I am making a positive difference in the world. I am honored to be part of the Lap of Love team and look forward to supporting many more pets and families.
When I am not working as a veterinarian, I am an active Catechist and Eucharistic Minister at my church. I also enjoy reading, playing bingo, and watching sports—especially gymnastics, hockey, and football. Most of all, I love spending time with my husband, Mark, my bonus son, Jacob and my daughter Madelyn.
About Dr. Maggie Mottram
My earliest memory of veterinary medicine is taking our new golden retriever to get her first set of vaccinations when I was a young child. My mom says after that moment, I set my heart on becoming an animal doctor and nothing was going to change my mind. Many years later, I attended The Ohio State University for my undergraduate degree in Animal Science. After growing tired of the snow and cold weather, I completed veterinary school at St. George’s University located in the Caribbean on the island of Grenada. While I was there, I spent my time coordinating free health clinics for people and their pets. It was those clinics and moments that taught me the importance of the human-animal bond. People didn’t mind waiting in the heat or the rain; they just wanted to make sure their family pet was healthy.
After graduating veterinary school, I moved back home to Fort Myers, Florida to be closer to my family. After a couple of years in general practice, I realized I had a passion and calling for hospice and end of life care. I find it extremely rewarding to help families find ways of providing a good quality of life and comfort to their pet in the final days, and to help guide and support them when it is time to say goodbye. It is such an honor to provide this service to pets at home, in an environment where they’re most comfortable and surrounded by loved ones. While our pets are only here for such a short time, they make such a large impact in every part of our life.
Much of my spare time is spent with family and our multitude of golden retrievers. I often recommend a good lint roller to anyone who comes to our family gatherings. My golden retriever is named Beemer and he is well known for his crazy antics around the house. His two partners in crime are my cats, Harley and Arthur.
