For what it’s worth, I found a temporary solution to the same problem. I created a gmail account just for a Rachio calendar, then put in a ‘skip watering’ event every other Saturday, which is when my landscaper comes. Set up an IFTTT rule that looks at your Google calendar and then issues a ‘Skip watering time’ to the Rachio. I called my calendar ‘Rachio’ in the screenshot below, and it’s tied to my everyday Google account.
Here are some screenshots:

Since I’m on a fixed schedule I imagine that I’m missing out on that watering rather than Rachio adding a later watering, but at least the landscaper isn’t getting soaked. It sounds like the Rachio guys will be putting in something smarter in the future, but in the meantime maybe this helps ?
