Rachael Sprague - Hospital Manager

With 20 years of experience in veterinary medicine, Rachael brings a deep passion for animal care, team development, and community connection to her role as Hospital Manager at Livewell Animal Hospital of Brookline. 

Throughout her career, Rachael has found her greatest fulfillment in building talented, compassionate teams that work together to strengthen the human-animal bond. She believes exceptional veterinary care starts with a team that feels supported, empowered, and inspired to make a difference in the lives of pets and the people who love them.

As the founding Hospital Manager of Livewell's first Massachusetts location, Rachael is excited to create a hospital where pets are treated like family, clients feel genuinely cared for, and team members have opportunities to learn, grow, and thrive.

Community involvement is especially close to Rachael's heart. She is passionate about supporting local animal rescues, shelters, and community organizations, and believes a veterinary hospital should be more than a place for medical care—it should be an active, trusted partner in the community it serves.

Outside the hospital, Rachael enjoys kayaking, hiking, and spending time with her four-legged family: Wawa and Goose, her two Rottweilers; Dillburts, her spirited Pomeranian/Jack Russell mix; and her horse, Gator. Whether she's exploring the outdoors or spending time with her animals, her love for the human-animal bond extends into every part of her life.
