Club career
Rochet started his career with Danubio with whom he made no appearances.

In April 2014, he went to trial with Dutch club AZ as they wanted a goalkeeper to serve as backup for Esteban Alvarado after the departure of Erik Heijblok. On 19 May 2014, he underwent medicals. Finally on 24 May 2014, he was signed by AZ for a contract until 2016.

Rochet made his debut against FC Dordrecht after Alvarado was injured.

International career
On 5 March 2021, Rochet was named in the Uruguay national team's 35-man preliminary squad for 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifying matches against Argentina and Bolivia. However, CONMEBOL suspended those matches next day amid concern over the COVID-19 pandemic. He made his international debut on 27 January 2022 in a 1–0 win against Paraguay.

He was picked for the 2022 World Cup squad and started all three of Uruguay’s games, keeping a clean sheet in two of them. He also saved an André Ayew penalty against Ghana, but it was not enough for Uruguay to qualify for the round of 16.
