Pet care experience

Your pup’s favorite pal ✨

Hi pet parents, my name is Micaela! I have loved animals for as long as I can remember, which led me to pursue a career in the field! I graduated from Texas State University with a degree Animal Science, and then went on to become a Marine Mammal Specialist at SeaWorld. I spent my time caring for dolphins and beluga whales! After relocating to Austin, I decided to continue caring for pets! Working with animals is not just a job, its a passion! I have many years of experience working with a variety of animals, including dogs of all sizes and breeds. I have worked in many areas including:Training, grooming, walking, sitting, and I have a strong interest in nutrition, wellness, and behavior. I am qualified in a variety of pet services, so you name it, I will do it! I have a flexible schedule, so I can give your pet the undivided attention they deserve. I will treat your pet with love and respect, because their joy is the best reward! I am kind, responsible, and professional, and my highest priority is making sure your four-legged pal has the best care possible!

Micaela walked our dog every day for two weeks, and despite being a shy boy, he fell in love with her immediately. We would highly recommend Micaela, who was not only a reliable and caring dog walker, but was full of really helpful advice for two new dog parents. She was will take care of your pet like she would her own.

I have asked Micaela to check-in on my puppy as well as my cat multiple times now, she is without a doubt an honest and trustworthy person. She shows compassion and gives my pets the attention they need while I’m away and not able to care for them. Thank you for taking care of my family!

Micaela has been a life saver on our long work days! We really appreciated coming home to a happy pup that had been let out and walked through the day. Very responsive and communicative! Will book again ?

A typical day
