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.
“Christine is a GREAT pet sitter! I had to hire her at the last minute and she was quickly available to meet my cat & I, and accept my job offer. She followed my list of “chores” for care and feeding and cleaning for my elderly cat, sent regular updates to me, along w happy pics of my feline. I will hire her again and recommend her to anyone! - SW in Superior”
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: Hi! I’m Meagan! I’m 27 years old and currently finishing my bachelor’s degree in Interior Design. I’m a huge animal lover and have grown up loving and caring for animals. I’m responsible, patient, attentive, and definitely the type of person who treats pets like part of the family. I have four pets of my own, two dogs and two cats, so taking care of animals is already a big part of my everyday life. My pets are all very friendly, well-behaved, and get along great with each other. I understand that every animal has a different personality, though, and some pets need a little more space or time to feel comfortable. If your dog doesn’t tolerate cats, that’s completely okay! My cats can stay in a separate area in the back part of my house that can be closed off from the dogs. The same goes for pets that may just need their own space. I want every animal staying with me to feel safe and comfortable. Since I’m a pet owner myself, I also understand how nerve racking it can be to leave your pets with someone else. I’m happy to follow their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, playtime, medications if needed, and of course lots of attention and cuddles! I’m also happy to send pictures and updates so you can see how your pet is doing while you’re away. Outside of caring for my animals, I’m creative and love interior design, being active, and spending time at home with my pets. I’m currently in my final semester of college, so pet sitting is something that fits naturally into my schedule and gives me the opportunity to do something I genuinely enjoy. Whether your pet is energetic and wants to play, loves going for walks, or would rather curl up and relax, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at. My goal is for your pet to feel like they’re having their own little home away from home while you have peace of mind knowing they’re being loved and cared for. 🐾🤍 I’m currently finishing my last semester of college, which gives me a fairly flexible schedule throughout the week. I’m able to plan my days around pet care and can accommodate walks, potty breaks, playtime, feeding, and plenty of attention. I also have pets of my own, so caring for animals is already a natural part of my everyday routine. I have two friendly, well-behaved dogs and two cats of my own, so I’m very comfortable caring for both dogs and cats. My pets are used to being around one another and are very friendly. If your pet isn’t comfortable around cats, my cats can stay in a separate, closed-off area of the house. I’ll always follow your pet’s normal routine, feeding instructions, boundaries, and any special care needs so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away.
About: I’ve had dogs since I was a kid. I have been thinking about getting a home partner for while, but at the same time I kinda enjoy being the cool uncle. Frequently, I take care of friends dogs when they go to enjoy their vacation. Usually I walk them three to four times a day, play with them a lot and feed them the usual amount, so they feel like in their own vacation as I like to say. Can guarantee they leave really happy. I really feel I like I can take care of somebody else’s dogs the same way while at the same time I enjoy having a companion! My goal is to give you peace of mind and lots of love to your dog. 😄 I work 40 a week but I lived 15min away from work that allows me to come and go. Usually telework on Fridays. Can stay home on the weekends if necessary. Don’t have a yard but can take them for walks many times a day. I have two bedroom apt and one of them is empty that can be used. Plus I’ll allow them anywhere in the apartment.
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.

About: I’ve been working with animals since I was 16 years old. I started at Pet Paradise and worked every position there. I moved on to a vet clinic where I was a supervisor.

I have experience with dogs, cats, ferrets, Guinea pigs, bearded dragons and more! I work part time so I am pretty flexible. I will always communicate if there is a scheduling error as I like to keep everyone happy and in the loop. I have years of animal experience and the love and passion to work with animals. I’m very trusting with your fur baby, as I have pets of my own.

About: I have been taking care of dogs for a very long time. When I was younger I used to take care of my friends pets or family members because they knew they could count on me to do it right. I am a college student taking online classes so I have a lot of free time to care for pets during my daily and weekly routine. I care for pets as if they are my own. I usually ask the owner if there is a particular way to feed them or walk them especially to make sure they are safe and cared for in the correct way.
About: I’ve cared for animals all of my life. I have 2 years of experience working in a boarding facility, have volunteered at a local shelter, and have dog & cat sat for friends and family for years.

As well, I have the free time to make sure that your dog gets the best care so that you can rest assured that they are in good hands. I’ve just moved to the area and am home to care for your dog through out the day. I take my dog out for walks every 2-3 hours starting around 8am every morning. I have plenty of space to walk the dog around, with open grassy areas. I am available through the entire day to attend to the dog. My dog is very friendly and loves to play, he is up to date on vaccines and his flea, tick and heart worm medications.
“Melissa did an absolutely incredible job of taking care of my fur babies while we were out of town for 3 days. She kept me well informed of how everyone was doing while we were gone. We’ll definitely be using her again!”
“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.

We would absolutely recommend Jaycee and use her services again in the future.”

Bethany is absolutely wonderful! We’ve used her many times and always feel completely comfortable having her care for our pets. This time we added two kittens to the mix, and she was amazing about adding them into the routine. She was patient with them as they warmed up and made sure everyone was happy and cared for. She is dependable, caring, and truly treats our pets like her own. We always feel so much better knowing Bethany is taking care of everyone while we’re away!
Monica provided drop in visits for our five dogs over the course of two days. I felt very secure in the fact that they were in excellent hands while I was on an overnight trip. Monica sent lots of pictures and videos of our pack and loved on them as if they were her own. She even spent extra time with them which made my heart smile!
Angelina was a life saver! After another Rover cancelled on me at the last minute Angelina stepped in (over a holiday no less) she took excellent care of my sweet dog and allowed me to enjoy my trip with comfort and assurance that my dog was ok - we would love to use her again in the future

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Cocoa choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.
