Highlights
Pet care experience
Experienced Trainer & Reliable Care
I’ve had dogs my whole life and have professionally cared for dogs for over 25 years. I am dog CPR certified, and over the years I’ve developed strong systems for keeping dogs safe, secure, and comfortable while in my care. Their safety and wellbeing are always my top priorities. I owned and operated a successful pet care business in the Bay Area for nearly 20 years, which is still operating today. Before owning my business, I worked as an assistant manager at a kennel, gaining hands-on experience with dogs of all breeds, temperaments, and needs. Since moving to Stockton to be closer to family, I’ve continued working with dogs through boarding, training, and pet care. I am home full time and have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to provide lots of attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. I have a fenced and secure yard on a 1/3rd-acre lot and currently have no pets of my own. In photos of my home, I’ve marked out the address for safety and privacy reasons.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Rochelle was great with our 5 month old puppies while we were out of town for a wedding. She was accommodating for meet and greets before the actual weekend, asked great questions about our preferences and even sent a video of the pups playing while we were gone. Her communication and knowledge were both great. We will definitely book with her again next time we go out of town.
Rochelle was very accommodating of my request for a meet & greet at my home prior to scheduling an overnight stay for our furbaby at her home. Both the meet & greet and overnight stay was a success. She is very knowledgeable and experienced with dogs, plus and her home and backyard definitely was a retreat for our pup. We are happy that we found Rochelle and will eventually use her again in the future!
Rochelle was great, she followed through on the schedule and care, gave me updates and photos after each visit and most importantly kept my kitties happy! I will book her again for my next trip and would recommend her.
We’ve been using Rochelle for about 2 weeks consistently and she is a great help! We’ve got a young pup and her walks and drop-in visits with him are so good for him and help us worry less!
Rochelle was great with our puppy Kobe! He was 14 weeks at the time so we were anxious to leave him in a new environment but Kobe did so well under Rochelle’s care and immediately warmed up to her during the meet & greet. She was respectful of our requests to keep him on leash outside and not going for a walk yet since he did not have all his shots. She was also very communicative and responsive and even gave us updates during his 2-night stay. Would definitely recommend Rochelle to anyone and everyone!
Rochelle walked my pup for me for a week, when I was recovering from a procedure, she was always on time and followed my instructions exactly as requested. She is clearly very knowledgeable with dogs and dog behaviors and my pup immediately liked her. I will definitely be hiring her again in the future.

Schedule
Pet care has been part of my daily life and routine for over 20 years. My schedule is built around caring for dogs, including walks, feeding routines, exercise, training, supervision, and making sure each dog’s individual needs are met. I’m experienced managing multiple dogs while still giving each one personal attention, structure, and care.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Safety and trust are extremely important to me. I pay close attention to each dog’s comfort level, body language, energy, and individual needs so I can provide care that helps them feel safe and secure. I believe calm, structured environments help dogs settle in and thrive. I follow owners’ routines closely regarding feeding, exercise, medications, crating, sleeping arrangements, and household rules. I’m experienced safely handling dogs with different temperaments, energy levels, and behavioral needs, and I always prioritize supervision, secure handling, and clear communication with owners. Whether caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, my goal is to provide reliable, thoughtful care that keeps both pets and owners comfortable and confident.
A typical day
A typical day includes structured walks, supervised play and relaxation time, potty breaks, feeding routines, and lots of attention tailored to each dog’s personality and energy level. I focus on creating a calm, balanced environment where dogs can feel comfortable, safe, and understood. Because of my background in dog behavior and training, I naturally incorporate good manners, structure, and clear communication into daily care. I pay close attention to body language, stress levels, and individual needs so dogs can settle in comfortably and enjoy their stay. I also believe communication with owners is important, so I provide updates and make sure routines, medications, and care instructions are followed closely.
