Trustworthy and Reliable Pet Care

I’m Rochelle and my full time job is as the Assistant Director of a no-kill animal shelter. I work closely with professional trainers to identify the correct temperament of an animal, I am pet CPR certified, I have worked as a vet assistant, I have experience working with wildlife rehabbers, I have worked on a 200 acre farm in Tennessee caring for chickens, cows, ducks, and pigs, and I’m an animal lover at heart! I am professionally trained to given oral and injectable medications to cats, dogs, farm animals and wildlife. I have approximately 4-6 personal pet sitting clients yet I am interested acquiring more! Getting to know and bonding with an animal brings me true joy and Rover is another way to do just that that. I look forward to working with you and your pet!

Rochelle is a pro. She was very accommodating both with a holiday booking and when I had to change my drop off time last minute. I received multiple updates every day with great pictures. I'd absolutely book again.

Rochelle did a wonderful job taking care of our senior dog while we were on vacation for a week! She sent us regular text updates with pictures and videos which were adorable and so appreciated! She took him on walks in her neighborhood and the bike path. She was comfortable helping him up and down steps as needed and made sure he took all of his medicine and got exercise, but didn't overextend himself. She was amazingly patient with him and comfortable with all his needs as an older dog! We loved knowing he was in such good hands while we were on vacation and we will definitely call her again to pet sit for us!

Rochelle is genuine, honest and seriously loves pets! I worked with her at our local animal shelter, so have seen first hand that she really cares. She pet sits for a lot of shelter clients, and I would 100% trust her with my own babies! She is flexible, responsible, and educated!

Rochelle watched my senior dog while I was on vacation for about 6 days. Every day she sent me adorable photos and updates of how he was doing. She slept with him every night, and watched him in her own home. He even went to work with her. Rochelle is so in tune with what an animal is feeling or may need! She is patient, loving, and sweet when caring for animals. She kept my dogs best interests at heart. I would have her watch my senior dog again, and I'd recommend her services to anyone!

Rochelle has been an animal-lover since she was a young child. It’s clearly evident if you’ve ever seen her interact with them. She just gets right down on the floor with them and plays. Her clothes and mouth are usually full of animal hair! Haha! When given the opportunity to have a better-paying job, she followed her heart to become the assistant director of a no-kill animal shelter. You’d be lucky to have her taking care of your fur-babies! In fact, I have a feeling she’ll book up quickly, so be sure to plan ahead!!
