Dog Sitting Cocoa

About: Hi! I'm Melissa. I'm a lifelong animal lover and caretaker with years of experience rescuing, training, fostering, and caring for dogs at every stage of life, from playful puppies to sweet seniors. I've cared for just about every size and personality, from 5 lb teacup terriers to 115 lb German Shepherds and everything in between. Whether your pup is high energy and always ready for play or enrichment, reactive, or more of the cool, calm, and collected type, I have experience with them all! Your fur baby will be treated like one of my own. Every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs, so before each stay, we'll do a full debrief to get to know your pup and make sure I can provide the best possible care. High-energy pups can look forward to plenty of playtime and enrichment, while our more laid-back friends can enjoy a cozy space to relax, recharge, and catch up on their beauty sleep. I believe in personalized care, not a one-size-fits-all approach! Your pup's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my priority. I'm big on supervision, communication, and making sure pet parents feel just as comfortable as their four legged family members. You'll receive regular photo/video updates, so you can see how your pup is doing and never miss a moment of the cuteness! Whether you need a helping hand while you're at work, away on vacation, or just need a well deserved break, I'm here to make life a little easier and ensure your best friend is in good hands. Message me to chat about your pup and book their walk or drop in! I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and the ability to accommodate walks and drop-in visits throughout the day. I'm happy to work around your schedule, whether your pup needs a morning walk, a midday potty break, an afternoon adventure, or a little extra company while you're away. I enjoy building pet care into my daily routine and making sure every pup gets the time, attention, and consistency they deserve. I'll do my best to accommodate your preferred schedule and keep your pet's routine as familiar and stress-free as possible! For walks and drop-in visits, my priority is making sure your pup feels safe, comfortable, and cared for in their own familiar environment. Every visit is tailored to your dog's personality, energy level, and routine. For walks, we'll enjoy neighborhood adventures, plenty of sniff breaks, exercise, and fresh air at a pace that's right for your pup. For drop-in visits, I can help with potty breaks, meals, fresh water, playtime, enrichment games, and some extra love and companionship while you're away. Before our first visit, we'll go over your dog's routine, preferences, commands, and any special instructions so I can provide consistent, personalized care. I'll always respect your home, follow your directions, prioritize your dog's safety, and send regular photo and video updates so you know how your best friend is doing. Whether your pup needs to burn off some energy or just wants a little company, I've got them covered!

About: I grew up in a family of animal lovers, therefore I am an animal lover by nature! I have always had a dog and a cat and can't imagine a life without either one. Animals are my passion and I am a firm believer that they are family, not just pets. Your baby will be loved, cared for, and even spoiled (if allowed). Having used Rover myself, I know how difficult it is to trust someone else with your beloved pet. I can promise you that if you book a stay with me, you and your pup or kitty will feel very comfortable. I have several years of experience babysitting in other's homes so I feel very comfortable watching your baby in your home if that makes you feel more comfortable. All around, I am a pretty flexible, kind, outgoing person and will make sure you and your baby are happy. I am great with instructions so if you are a detailed planner or have your pet on a strict schedule, I can follow them. If you are more flexible, I will make sure to stop by at least 2 times a day to walk/feed/and play with your pet! I work full time from home so I have plenty of time and flexibility for walks, play time, feeding, etc. I am also available for 24/7 cuddles. I don’t currently have any pets of my own. I live in a 3 bedroom condo with my boyfriend. The condo complex is gated and very safe! I do have carpet and stairs (incase either of those are an issue). There are plenty of dog walking areas and grass as well as dog waste pick up stations. There are also plenty of parks nearby!

About: Hi, I’m Sophia! I’m 22 and I’m looking for dog walking/sitting opportunities. I have years of experience caring for my own animals and family/friends pets. I have experience with all types of breeds and sizes. I have three years paid experience pet sitting and previously worked as a kennel tech. I would be able to provide pet sitting whether it be check-ins to play with or feed your pet, or overnight boarding as well as walking. I have two dogs who are very friendly and love playing with other dogs as well as a backyard for ur pup to play in! Thank you so much for your consideration and I hope to hear back from you! I am a full time student at UH, but only go to campus two days a week, so I am home basically all the time! I have a fenced backyard and two very friendly dogs who love to play! One is a chihuahua and the other… I’m not sure. I found her about a year ago as a stray but she is a very calm and polite dog.

“Absolutely cannot say how wonderful Brook was with communication, photos and just how great she was with my dog. I will definitely be using her again.”

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and currently have three dogs of my own, including a senior dog and a puppy. Over the years, I’ve gained experience caring for dogs at all stages of life and have worked with my dogs on training, routines, and basic obedience. I also have experience caring for friends’ and family members’ dogs and cats, and I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pets when you can’t be there. I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate drop-in visits and dog walks throughout the day. I’m available from dawn until dusk daily. During each visit, I stay attentive to the pet and keep their environment safe and comfortable. I’m also respectful of my client’s home and leave everything clean and as I found it.

About: I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and comfort level. I’m patient with shy or nervous animals and I don’t believe in rushing them. I’m dependable, communicative, and detail-oriented. I’ll follow your instructions closely, keep your pet’s normal routine as consistent as possible, and send photos and updates during visits so you know they’re happy and cared for. I also love getting to know animals on their terms—whether that means an energetic walk with a dog, playtime with a cat, or simply sitting nearby and keeping a nervous pet company. My goal is for your pets to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I work a full time job with your typical 9-5 but I still have availability for the following, Weekdays: Before work + evenings 6AM - 8AM & 5:30PM - 8PM Weekends: Flexible availability Holidays: Limited availability I genuinely love the compassion and unconditional love animals give, and I want every pet in my care to feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I treat every pet like my own while also respecting their individual personality, routine, and boundaries. I’ve cared for both dogs and cats, including my senior cat who is my little best friend and very spoiled. I’m comfortable with shy, nervous, clingy, senior, and medicated pets, and I always prefer a meet-and-greet to make sure we’re a good fit. I’m attentive to changes in behavior, love giving pets attention and playtime, and will always keep their owners updated with pictures and communication. My goal is simple: for your pet to feel cared for and for you to feel confident they’re in good hands.

“Eliza provided dependable care and great communication. She looked after my cat while I was out of town. I would recommend Eliza for your pet care.”

About: Animals have always been an important part of my life. I currently work as a Kennel Assistant at an animal clinic, where I care for dogs and cats every day. This professional experience has strengthened my skills in handling pets of different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities while paying close attention to their comfort, safety, and daily routines. I also have a degree in Biology from Moscow State University and hands-on experience training service dogs. At home, I have two dogs of my own—a French Bulldog and a Chihuahua—and over the years I’ve cared for many other breeds as well. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, medication reminders, or simply a calm and caring companion, I’ll treat them with the same attention and respect I give my own pets. My goal is for every dog or cat to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I’m organized, dependable, and able to plan my schedule around the needs of the pets in my care. I always make sure each pet gets the time, attention, and consistency they need. I’m attentive to routines, feeding schedules, potty breaks, and each pet’s personality and comfort level. I want every pet to feel as relaxed and cared for as possible. Working in a veterinary clinic has also taught me to recognize changes in a pet’s behavior or condition and respond calmly and appropriately if something seems unusual.

About: Hi! I’m Shannon, a dedicated animal lover who genuinely enjoys caring for pets and making them feel like part of the family. I offer a loving, comfortable, and welcoming environment where your furry companion will receive plenty of individual attention, affection, and care. My schedule allows me to spend plenty of time at home, so your pet will have lots of companionship throughout the day. I understand that every animal has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I always strive to make their time with me as comfortable and stress-free as possible. I am a homemaker and I am home full-time. I will be able to give your pet love and attention all day. I walk everyday in the safe community of Suntree where I live. Your pet would feel safe here and we would take walks together. 😃 I have a big yard and live in a safe neighborhood in Suntree. I have no children. My home is quiet, welcoming and smoke-free.

About: I have been sitting dogs since I was ten. From neighbors, to family friends, and even people I have met on walks, I am always willing to dog sit. I have three dogs of my own(two border collies and a maltipoo). I am willing to take your dogs on a walk, go to the park, or even get some energy out. I have experience with both live in and throughout the day sitting. I look forward to helping care for your baby! I am a substitute teacher but my schedule is very flexible. If I am giving at least a days notice I can always make time. Other than that, I am a student at UCF and only have classes a few times a month. Therefore, pet care fits easily into my daily routine. My dogs are able to play in their fenced in backyard while the cats love the screened in patio. I only walk my pets with a leash and do not take their collars off. Safety is of major importance to me!

“As always, Anastasia is a wonderful caretaker for our fur rebels. She is attentive, punctual, caring, and just above and beyond.”

About: I have 4 years of dog sitting for multiple families of different breeds of dogs. I also have two dogs of my own that I have had since they were puppies. My oldest dog has diabetes, so I have a lot of experience with dogs that require medication and special attention. I have a special place in my heart for animals, especially dogs, and love going on walks, playing, and just cuddling with them. My daily schedule is pretty open. I can housesit any day of the week. Most days I can be over to walk, play, and let out animals every 4 hours or more if needed. I will make sure the pets go about their usual schedule and routine as much as possible. I will give them love and attention and ensure they are at ease and comfortable when caring for them.

“Reliable, responsive, and great with my dogs. A dream to work with.”

About: Hello! I’m Alex, and I’ve been a professional care taker for animals the last three years. Most of my experience has been with exotic animals, however over the past year I’ve been spending more time with cats and dogs. My other profession outside of rover is a Vet Assistant, so I’m always spending time with animals! I am currently working full time as a vet assistant, however I typically get off at 6pm and can do drop ins! Tuesday and Saturdays are my free days and I can provide more services. Safety is my top priority. Before taking care of your loved ones, we would discuss the best plan and guidelines for your pets to ensure the best care possible for them.

“Jaycee was great to work with! We appreciated her enthusiasm to work with our cats. Jaycee was very flexible and communicative with us which made it a breeze to work with her. She is very experienced with cats which made us more at ease with having her take care of them. She even persisted with attempting to give our grumpy old cat medicine. We would absolutely recommend Jaycee and use her services again in the future.”
