Who We Are
Cheyanne Brisco
Assistant Manager
Cheyanne grew up in Huntsville, TX and always had a passion for animals. After graduating high school she went on to obtain a Bachelor's degree in Criminal Justice at Texas State University in hopes of becoming a lawyer. During this time Cheyanne has dedicated her time to animals and the pet industry. Cheyanne has been in the pet care industry for four years now.
She has one dog, Zeus, and one cat, Sayua. In her spare time she likes to take long hikes with her dog and she also likes to paint.
Aside from hanging out with dogs, Cheyanne's favorite part of the job is making clients feel more comfortable when going on trips and meeting all of the different personalities and traits each pup has to offer.
Lyle Blount
Lead Kennel Tech
Lyle has been with Skyblue for a little over a year. He grew up with pets and they've always been treated as family. His current companion, Roxy, is a certified service dog and his constant companion.
He has studied business, psychology, and self-defense, but took a special interest in studying how to interact with animals and learning their unique personalities.
​
Lyle adores taking care of the animals that come in to SkyBlue, and finds it extremely fulfilling getting to know each dog, and seeing them happy to see him when they come in!
Phoebe Schultz-Smith
General Manager
Hi! My name is Phoebe. Thanks for trusting me with your fur babies! Mine can be a rowdy bunch and keep me on my toes, so I have quite a bit of experience with all sizes and temperaments!
I got my first kid Milo, a Pitbull mix, out of a box on a busy, dirty downtown corner. He’s now a big old man and loves to sleep and (tries) to tree squirrels. Sonny, a terrier mix, came to me at a bar, and the rest has been history. We love a good thirty-pound drama queen. Buffy, a tuxedo cat, is what I like to describe as my “mini jaguar,” and when she does choose to hang out, she’s full of love.
What first cemented my love for dogs was working at a farm for 4 years before coming to SkyBlue! My kids were amazing in field trials, and nothing defeats that lightbulb moment of watching your student “get it.” Training, whelping, breeding, bathing, we did it all. This got me extremely familiar with getting it done, being outside no matter what, and being able to always think of tomorrow.
I’m a desert girl. Tucson, Arizona taught me quite a bit (even some trade school!) and now I’m here with my little family in Austin. I love to be on wheels, going outside with friends, and lounging about with family.
Thank you for welcoming me into your pet’s life.
(shout out to Sherpa’s parents! she’s perfect!)
