Designer care for Dogs & Humans

I’m a calm, reliable overnight sitter who keeps your home feeling settled and your pets feeling safe and seen. With a designer’s eye for detail and a genuine love for dogs, I create peaceful environments that feel cared for — not just managed. I follow your routines, honor your preferences, and ensure your space feels just as you left it — or a little more refreshed. Your dog enjoys daily walks, affection, consistency, and a soothing rhythm that feels like home. You get thoughtful updates that are warm, never overwhelming. I take one client at a time so your pet gets my full attention. I’m occasionally joined by my dog, Jaqui, who has a gentle and grounding nature. She’s wonderful for dogs who relax more easily with a calm companion — and she only joins by request, in homes where it’s a perfect fit. Your home stays secure. Your dog remains in their rhythm. Your return feels effortless.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

When I care for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine familiar and comforting. I take time to understand feeding schedules, walking habits, preferred nap spots, and any sensitivities or quirks. I’m attentive to door and gate safety, I keep leashes and harnesses secure, and I maintain a calm environment so your dog feels relaxed and understood. I’m sometimes accompanied by my dog, Jaqui, who has a very gentle and grounded temperament. She only joins when it benefits your dog’s comfort and is always discussed in advance. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, seen, and at ease in their own home.

House Sitting • Jul 14, 2026

Rochelle did an excellent job watching our three dogs for a week while our family was on vacation. this is the first time Rochelle watched our dogs. Two of the three dogs are very friendly but the third dog is very cautious with people she does not know. By the end of the first day, Rochelle won over the third dog and they were best friends by the end of the week! Rochelle provided daily feedback, including pictures on how it was going with watching the dogs. Plus, the house was spotless when we returned! I would strongly recommend Rochelle as a dog sitter, and would definitely ask her to watch the dogs again in the future!

Rochelle is amazing with dogs. She’s patient and cares for them as if they were her own. She has house sat my Labrador many times, and “Robot” adores her. I would recommend her highly!!!

Rochelle is without a doubt the most trusted pet and/or house sitter I know. She cares for all animals as if there were her own and I don't no know of anyone that treats their own pets as well as she does. Having Rochelle pet or house sit is a very wise choice.

Schedule

I’m currently in school and I also do occasional brand event work, but I schedule those commitments thoughtfully so I can be fully present in the home while sitting. I follow your dog’s regular routine and can step out for short periods if your dog is comfortable being alone. I keep communication open and always make sure your pup feels secure, relaxed, and cared for throughout your trip.

I specialize in caring for dogs in quiet, calm home environments — especially seniors, sensitive souls, and pups who thrive on gentle companionship and familiar routines. Before each stay, I like to learn your dog’s daily rhythm, temperament, and comfort needs so I can provide care that feels both familiar and reassuring. Please share any details about sensitivities, anxiety triggers, medications, or unique quirks — everything helps me support your dog’s well-being. Whether your dog is adjusting to time alone, working through reactivity, or simply needs a little extra emotional support, I approach each situation with patience, intuition, and calm presence to keep their environment peaceful and safe. I’m also experienced working in luxury homes and understand the importance of discretion, reliability, and respect for your space. My goal is for you to return home to a relaxed, happy dog and everything just as you left it.
