ABOUT ME

Hey there—I go by Micallie and probably like you, I am a lover of animals! I am a soon-to-be graduated student from UT Austin with a degree in Exercise Science. I have worked with older adults in rehabilitation clinics, I currently work with kids from 2-12 as a youth coach, and am excited to formally add furry friends to my clientele.

My affinity for animals began at a young age with an obsession with Zoology, my brother's ant farm, Wild Kratts, Animal Planet, Cesar Milan, and Steve Irwin. Since middle school, dog-sitting has been an intermittent side hustle and I've met a range of pets with different temperments, personalities, and needs. Outside of all things pet related, you can often find me on my bike cycling around Austin, scoping out a new coffee shop, playing recreational sports, or spending time with friends and family (it's about the little things!).

Definitely depends on the pet but go-tos are exploring new smells outside, tug-of-war, scratches and massages, and enrichments toys!

MY GO-TO FURRY FRIEND ACTIVITIES

MY OWN PETS

I have grown up with pets my whole life. From a black lab to pet rats to pet tarantulas! At home, my roomate and I house our dog Pucas alongside her two cats. Pucas (or Pookie) is our most recent member with a unique origin story she was found abandoned along with her siblings somewhere between here and Houston TX. An unexpected but happy addition to our lives! She very affectionate and social, always looking for cuddles, and a food fiend. We love our pookie <3.

MY PET CARE PHILOSOPHY

Making the experience feel safe and fun for every pet is a priority and comes with recognizing that each one is unique with individuals approaches to their needs!
