Safety, trust & environment

I always try to keep pets on the routine they're used to, whether they're staying in my home or I'm caring for them in theirs. I follow feeding schedules, exercise routines, medication instructions, and any other preferences the owner provides. In my home, pets are treated like part of the family and have plenty of attention, supervision, and opportunities for play and relaxation. When caring for pets in a client's home, I make it a priority to respect both the pet's routine and the owner's space while providing lots of love, care, and updates along the way.

Information Rachele L. would like to know about your pet

I'd love to know anything that will help me make your pet feel comfortable and at home. Things like their typical routine, energy level, favorite activities, how they do around other dogs and people, and any quirks or habits they may have. Please also let me know about any medical needs, medications, allergies, or anything else you think would be helpful for me to know ahead of time!

A typical day

Trips to our neighborhood dog park, Zilker Park, or Auditorium Shores Dog Park. We also enjoy neighborhood walks, playtime, and getting some energy out in the large open green space right next to our complex. All activities are always approved by the owner beforehand, and I tailor activities to each dog's age, personality, and energy level.

Dependable Care for Your Pets

Pet care experience

As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to feel completely comfortable leaving your pets in someone else’s care. I’m very patient, dependable, and attentive to all types of animal personalities, and I’ll always treat your pets with the same love and care I’d want for my own. We have two sweet dogs of our own that are friendly to all dogs and people, and are always up to date on necessary vaccinations. We live in a 1,400 sq ft townhome in the heart of Clarksville, and although we no longer have a yard, we have a large open green space right next to our complex and are just a block away from a dog park that we use constantly. Since I'm home all day, your pet will receive plenty of attention, playtime, and love throughout their stay! (Plus lots of pictures of them to send your way!)

Rachele has become our 'go-to' sitter. 'Finn' seems to be happy to be there and makes himself at home. Communication is excellent and always highly responsive. I don't sorry when I'm away on business. I know Finn is in good hands. Highly recommend ?

My Dog came back healthy and happy just like when I dropped him off. Wonderful people to leave your loved ones with!

Rachele and her boyfriend were wonderful with Bert! They made me feel very comfortable leaving him. I will be using them as much as a can for future trips!

Overall great experience. So easy to communicate with, and Nala came back one happy pup. Will definitely be using them again!

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.
