“Bree was amazing with Lexi. She was loving and attentive. Always on time for her check ins. And did a great job getting Lexi to eat her food leftover from the morning. I would use her again in a heartbeat.”
“Katelynn was extremely friendly and my cats loved her! Often people who watch my cats only see one of them, but they both seemed to like her enough to come out every visit while I was away. She handled everything I asked and dealt with some extra messes one of my cats left behind. Highly recommend.”
About: Lifelong dog and cat lover with over two years of professional experience in a veterinary clinic setting. By combining medical knowledge, including symptom tracking and medication administration, with a friendly attentive approach built from raising family pets and pet sitting for friends and family alike. I am committed to keeping dogs happy, healthy, and active while providing owners with absolute peace of mind. My schedule is structured to ensure pets receive a massive amount of high-quality time and attention. I am an early riser, allowing plenty of time every morning for thorough feeding, fresh water resets, and energetic play sessions. After my workday, my entire evening is completely dedicated to companionship, grooming, and winding down together. My job is highly predictable, meaning I am never late for routines, and I am always home for overnight stays. There is more than enough time in my day to ensure your pet is happy, deeply cared for, and never lonely. I will treat your home like a professional environment and your pet like family. Because I am highly detail oriented, I strictly adhere to your precise care instructions. I will review physical comfort, monitoring appetite, and tracking litter box habits. Help engaging your pet with structured play and mental stimulation. And just as importantly your home security by double-checking locked doors, sending detailed photo updates as requested, as well as being quick and promptly with replies these all make me a great choice for owners who want stress-free care while they are away.
About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life, and caring for pets is something I genuinely love! I’ve grown up around animals and have experience owning and caring for cats, dogs, puppies, kittens, and many other animals. I’ve also fostered pets and have hands-on farm experience, so I’m comfortable with animals of all different sizes, personalities, and needs! I absolutely love getting to know each pet’s unique personality and making sure they feel happy, safe, loved, and spoiled while they’re in my care. Whether your pet wants to play, go for a walk, get lots of cuddles, or just relax by my side, I’m happy to give them all the attention they deserve. I know how hard it can be to leave your pets with someone else, and I want you to feel completely comfortable knowing they’re in loving and caring hands. I would be so excited to meet your fur babies and give them the same love and attention I give my own! 🐾❤️ I currently work from home, which means your pet will get plenty of attention and frequent face-to-face time throughout the day! I’m able to give them lots of opportunities to go outside, stretch their legs, and play, rather than being left alone for long periods of time. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine, including feeding times, potty breaks, medications, walks, and any other care they’re used to at home. I also love taking dogs on evening walks and giving them plenty of playtime and cuddles throughout the day. My goal is to keep your pet’s routine as close to normal as possible while you’re away, so they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for! Your pet’s safety is always my top priority! I have a fully fenced-in yard where your pet can safely enjoy some fresh air and playtime, along with a quiet, safe neighborhood that’s perfect for walks. I also have a super friendly miniature poodle who loves making new friends and can keep your pet company if they enjoy having a furry friend around! Of course, I’m happy to keep pets separated if that’s what they’re most comfortable with. I also have a crate available and can crate your dog when needed or if that’s part of their normal routine at home. I’ll always follow your instructions and do whatever helps your pet feel safe, comfortable, and happy while they’re in my care!
About: I have loved animals since my first day on Earth, and pets have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up around animals has taught me how important patience, attention, and compassion are when caring for someone’s beloved pet. I am currently fully focused on school and taking online classes which gives me great flexibility with my free time. I can always adjust to your preferred schedule. Attentiveness is key with pets in the home. Whether an owner prefers to have their pet roam free or be crated, I am comfortable with both. The goal is to make the pet feel as comfortable as possible.

“Caitlyn saved our 4th of July trip and made sure Nova didn't feel alone while we were gone. Walks daily, always updated if she ate or went potty. It made me feel so much better for my 1st time hiring a dog sitter.”
“Alicia did an amazing job taking care of our cats so we didn’t need to worry while we were away! One of our cats was incredibly difficult and she was able to still provide effective care.”
About: I have owned a dog for 13 years. I have experience pet sitting that included loving and playing with them. I haven't met a cat or dog that didn't like me. I am looking to be more active so I am walking/playing with dogs to achieve that I only work 3 days a week so I have lots of time and flexibility to walk/ take care of your pet on your schedule! I live in a home, with a large yard for playing, and can take walks around my neighborhood. There are no children in the household and it is a very quiet and calm environment. I let my pets on the couch too for snuggles so they will be very cozy
About: I have had animals my whole life! I love dogs and cats! I have my own 5 year old Golden Retriever who has received 3 AKC Good Citizen Certifications. I love taking pups on walks! I am working full time currently so not as open as I would like to be, but may be leaving my job soon to finish school online so my schedule might be opening up a lot! I make sure the dogs are given as much attention as they need and are not left to their own devices to get into trouble as we know our pets love to do! A safe and healthy environment for play and learning is top priority in working with animals.

“Patsy was responsive, communicative, and great to work with. This was our first time using Rover’s service while on vacation. We were extremely nervous about putting our beloved pets life in a complete strangers care, but Patsy eased our minds by sending us pictures and updates during her visits. Thank you Patsy for taking such good care of our sweet boy, Fozzie. We will definitely use your services again the next time we visit Cocoa Beach.”

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

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Cocoa stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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.
To find sitters in Cocoa with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
