I have known Rochelle for the last couple of years having met her when she moved back to the UK with her dogs. I can say with absolute confidence that Rochelle is a genius when it comes to dogs. During her time living in Asia she was involved in animal rescue, where she regularly provided care for Indonesia’s abandoned street dogs and cats. She rescued a breed dog who was living in terrible conditions and a Bali Dog, who was living alone in the jungle and clearly in need of help. Due to their traumatic past experiences, both these dogs had many behavioural problems that were rooted in lack of trust, fear and extreme anxiety. One of her dogs had extreme fear of humans and the other extreme fear of both humans, bicycles and sticks and occasionally other dogs. For most people, taking on two dogs with such difficult needs would be challenge but Rochelle not only brought these dogs home with her to England, she also put the time and effort into socialising both dogs and slowly but surely putting in the mechanisms needed to help them overcome their fears. All of her training and behavioural modification has been fundamentally rooted in love and positive reinforcement. When talking to Rochelle, she clearly knows her stuff and is up to date with the latest scientific studies on dog behaviour and training methods. She works with the dog not against it and always understands the importance of respecting their boundaries. She allows the dog a chance to make its decision and come to her and works individually with the dog’s particular needs. There is never any trigger stacking and when out with her dogs, Rochelle is very attentive and responsible and encourages others to do the same. Her two dogs have made incredible progress in the time she has had them and this is testimony to Rochelle’s hard work, dedication and knowledge and experience. Moreover, she is also now experienced with primitive dog behaviour. Rochelle is extremely friendly and sociable. She is very easy to get along with and instantly puts you at ease with anything that might concern you. She owns her own business and thus is extremely experienced in dealing with clients, managing a busy schedule and holds excellent customer service. Rochelle holds a strong moral compass to care for others and this shows in her dedication to always putting her client’s needs first. She has a flexible working schedule and two dogs who are absolute sweethearts. One of which is extremel sociable and can bring even the most shy of dogs out of its shell. The other absolutely loves people and very well behaved off lead. With Rochelle, you it all and I can say with my hand on my heart that she would be a great help to anyone in need of a person to help care for their dog, particularly if it is anxious or fearful.

Rochelle has looked after my 2 dogs multiple times and we wouldn't use anyone else! They always come back happy and well-exercised and they are very enthusiastic everytime they see her. I know she has lots of experience with dogs - one of her dogs is a nervous rescue dogs - and so she is well-equiped to deal with any and all canines. I would highly recommend Rochelle to any pet-owners needing a sitter or walker.

Before taking on your dog I would need to know their history, current living situation and any behavioural concerns or observations to make our interactions appropriate and productive. I would also require details on any health conditions they may have.

I am comfortable dealing with a variety of personalities and histories. I am particularly experienced in anxious dogs and rescues and will be very patient, understanding and adaptable for dogs with these needs in particular.

If your dog requires more space and less stimulation, I can take them to a variety of more isolated and quieter locations.
