Pet care experience
I have had dogs my whole life and have been a dog sitter on and off for about 8 years now in San Diego, CA and Austin, TX. I believe I will forever have a foot in the dog hospitality world because caring for dogs is my passion. A bit about me: I’ve worked at a very high intensity (cage free) dog day care in San Diego while in college before moving to Austin, TX in 2020. Over the last three years I got to spend time and watch selective dogs while working from home. I was fortunate to be blessed with connections when I arrived but I am excited to now be back on Rover so other local texans can enjoy my dog sitting services as well. I have had experience with dogs as small as a Shih Tzu and as large as a St. Bernard. I also have had experience with puppies as young as 12 weeks and as old as 17! My number one goal is to make sure the dog feels as comfortable as possible. I like to stay with the dog's normal routine that his or her owner(s) strive to keep, but also give a little more attention and special treats so they can also feel like they are on vacation as well when they are with me. My home is a modern one bedroom apartment (1,000sq ft first floor) and nicely close to the community dog park. I love enjoying nature walks around Austin and exploring with your pup if they are adventurous. Something that I do (upon approval from owner) is send text messages with picture updates throughout your dogs stay. I will always be available for communication via cell, text, or email. Feel free to ask any questions you may have! I can't wait to meet your dog and shower them with love!
Reviews
We are thoroughly impressed by Rachael’s level of professionalism and overall care for our dog for a two day boarding stay. She was very responsive and provided frequent updates and pics of how our pup was doing. She gave us an a immense amount of comfort knowing that our furry family member was in great hands in a very clean, well kept home. We don’t look forward to leaving our pup for out of town travel anytime soon, but when we do need a reliable, professional sitter, we will definitely use Racheal’s services as first choice!
Rachael is awesome! She exhibited such a friendly and warm energy. First time having my pup stay with her and would definitely recommend others to book. She continued to give reports and photos throughout the day care, I could tell my pup was in good hands with Rachael.
rachel is absolutely amazing with our dog, butter. butter gets so excited to visit her and rachel is incredibly communicative. she very clearly is a dog lover and dog whisperer! we will go back to rachel time and time again.
Our pups favorite sitter!! So glad we found Racheal!

Home
Information Rachael R. would like to know about your pet
Before sitting a dog I like to know about any of his or her allergies, dislikes, diet, and friendliness around dogs/humans. I also would ask about the dog's reward system, discipline, and habit of getting special treats. I do not have any breed preferences when dog sitting. I love and enjoy all breads.
A typical day
Walks around the block will always be available to your dog. The activities will always involve your permission and knowledge regarding your dog's active lifestyle scale. I understand some dogs need to burn off more energy, while others are more comfortable with a relaxing nap.
