About Me

Thanks for visiting Little Rascals! My name is Michelle and I love animals! I know you probably aren't surprised to hear a pet sitter say that, but I wanted to say it anyway because I think it's important for you to know. I feel so fortunate that I've been able to turn my passion into a career. I've been working with animals professionally for several years now, first as a groomer for two of Austin's best known grooming shops and now as the owner of Little Rascals.

In a prior life, I completed my masters in adult education from The University of Memphis and worked for several years in the field of international education before trading it all in for wet noses and wagging tails. With the unique experience of having worked with people from all corners of the world and animals big and small, I've learned to be adaptable and flexible. Along the way, I've also learned the value of professionalism. I don't like cutting corners. I want you to simply get exactly what you expect and to feel confident leaving your pets in my care.

I'm really excited about getting to know you and your pets. Just contact me, and we can talk about your needs.
