Pet care experience

The Paw Sitter — Safe Loving Care

Hi. I have over 25 years of trusted pet care experience and am known as “The Paw Sitter.” My specialty is in-home overnight care where pets remain in their familiar environment and maintain their daily routines. I support pets across all life stages — from playful, energetic companions who love engagement and activity, to senior or special-needs pets requiring gentle handling, medication support, and thoughtful caution. I have experience with special diets, administering medications, and providing emotional comfort by sleeping near or with pets as they are accustomed to with their pet parent. My approach balances safety, attentiveness, play, and affection so pets feel secure and cared for while families feel confident and at ease while away. I’m happy to travel further distances depending on the booking.

Safety, trust & environment

Hi. I care for pets where they feel safest, loved, and undisturbed by changes to their routine. I follow established schedules, maintain feeding, litter, and pee-pad areas, administer medications when needed, and offer play or cuddles based on each pet’s unique personality, including multi-pet households. I enjoy being a Paw Sitter, sharing gentle presence with your pet in their familiar home.

I would definitely recommend Rochelle as a Star Sitter. This was our first time using Rover or leaving our two very spoiled fur babies. Rochelle was great in leading the way with questions and organization which was reassuring that she wanted to keep our girls routine and care. Pictures and communication was consistent and reassuring. Additionally Rochelle agreed to the challenge of overseeing our chickens and ducks which was a huge bonus! Rochelle stayed at our house which was also a bonus knowing that our girls, Daisy & Luna, would be at home to reduce the separation anxiety. She did an amazing job up-keeping everything which is no easy task with two fur babies in and out of the house in the country! Thank you Rochelle for a great experience, taking such loving care of my girls, and the reassurance that they were loved and cared for while I traveled!♥️

Rochelle was fantastic! From our initial meet-and-greet to the moment we arrived back home, I knew our three senior Goldendoodles were in great hands. Throughout our trip, she kept us updated with their potty breaks, feeding schedule, and plenty of photos and videos that gave us peace of mind while we were away. She also went above and beyond to make sure our pups stayed comfortable during a major thunderstorm, a power outage, and 4th of July fireworks. On top of taking such wonderful care of our dogs, Rochelle left our home spotless, which we truly appreciated. I highly recommend Rochelle to anyone looking for high-quality, dependable care for their fur babies. We will absolutely be booking with her again in the future. Thank you, Rochelle, for taking such amazing care of April, Cooper, and May!

Rochelle absolutely exceeded all my expectations. I received so many lovely updates while I was away, and she communicated with me about everything. This was my first time using Rover so I was a bit uncertain, but it was such a wonderful experience. We will most definitely be working with Rochelle again, and I would recommend her to anyone!

Rochelle was a perfect fit for Owen. She quickly learned his routine, quirks, and needs to keep him happy while we were gone. She also took great care of the house, and doing a few chores. We got amazing communication on Owen! We were able to thoroughly enjoy ourselves knowing Owen was so well cared for. We most definitely will reach out to Rochelle through Rover in the future!

Rochelle watched our senior cat, Callie, at our home while we were on vacation. She was extremely reliable and trustworthy—sending us daily pictures, videos, and updates. It was easy to tell how much she loves animals and our cat absolutely loved her. She even left us the sweetest letter upon our return summarizing their at-home adventures from week. A great person and a wonderful pet companion. We highly recommend her and will absolutely ask her to sit for us for future trips.

Hi, Pet care fits naturally into my life, allowing flexible availability for overnight and extended in-home sitting. I adapt to each pet’s routine with walks, yard play, park visits when appropriate, and always begin with a meet-and-greet so everyone feels comfortable.

Please let me know about your pet’s affection level, routines, personality, energy level, medications, special diets, fears, sensitivities, or anything that helps them feel safe and comfortable. I’m especially experienced with senior and special-needs pets and appreciate understanding leash behavior, separation anxiety, reactivity, or multi-pet dynamics ahead of time so I can provide the best possible care.
