Information Rachel & Maxime K. would like to know about your pet

Our dog, Barcy, is a middle-aged rescue with a calm and introverted personality. She enjoys her independence and does best with dogs that can respect her space. Large or very high-energy dogs may sometimes make her feel stressed or cause her to bark. We always prioritize safe, positive interactions and will adapt activities and supervision accordingly to make sure everyone feels comfortable.

A typical day

We keep things fun but relaxed, based on each dog’s energy and comfort level. Activities can include walks at Onion Creek Dog Park, Zilker, nearby trails, and neighborhood walks, either on leash or off leash when appropriate and approved. At home and outside, we love playing fetch, doing light games like hide and seek, and using hidden treats to keep dogs mentally engaged.

Boutique Boarding for Happy Dogs 🐶

Pet care experience

Looking for a calm, loving home instead of a crowded kennel? That's exactly what we provide. We're Rachel and Max, a French American couple who genuinely love dogs. As Rover sitters, we provide a safe, calm, and personalized home for every guest. We intentionally welcome only one or two dogs at a time so every pup receives individual attention, affection, and plenty of supervised play. Our home has a fully fenced backyard, daily walks, lots of cuddle time, and frequent photo updates so you'll always know how your dog is doing. Your dog will be treated like part of our family, never like just another booking

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
