“Michelle did a wonderful job caring for our "old man" while we were gone. I really appreciated the daily photos to see that they were getting along. I plan on using her services the next time we travel. Highly recommend Michelle for anyone who needs pet care while away!!”
“Chrystal was amazing! We needed a sitter last minute and she was so flexible with helping us out. Each visit she provided multiple pictures and details about how each kitty was doing. One of my cats is a little shy and salty and Chrystal did a great job tailoring the care to her! We definitely will be using her again!”
“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.”
“Jonathan has great communication before and during his time with our pups he is great to work with and is extremely flexible if you need to adjust your booking to add additional visits”
“I really appreciated the love and care Lauren provide. I left for 3 days out of town and enjoyed her pictures and had a good peace of mind. Will definitely keep using her services,”
About: Hey! My name is Emma. I've been apart of the pet care industry for 3 years. I've always adored cats ever since I was a child, but my true passion for dogs started when I got my first dog at 17 (I'm 21 now) My Golden Retriever named Molly inspired me to start my career as a dog trainer. Since then I've spent hundreds of hours working on my skills and perfecting the craft. I've volunteered at the Hornell Humane Society where I've walked dogs. I've also completed a 3 month mentorship with a professional trainer, Ash Osborn with the Pawsitive Pups Academy. Since then I've started taking both training and dog sitting/walking clients! I believe my skills make me a great option for all your pet care needs. I will never turn down dogs with behavioral issues. Being a pet professional is my full time job so I am available around the clock for your every need! I'm available Monday through Sunday unless I state otherwise. I care for the pets in my clients home with the patience and integrity. I will always to my best to maintain a clean and safe environment.
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 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: I have had dogs my whole life! I am that friend who everyone calls if their fur or human babies need love! I have grown up with Pitbulls my whole life so no breed makes me nervous. I currently work from home as a full-time nurse with a ton of flexibility to help other people in need. I can leave any/most hours of the day to head over to a clients home for whatever they need! Because I currently work from home. My one American bully has all the love he needs! Giving me the opportunity to go to client’s homes to give their animals, the love and attention they need!
About: I’ve been pet sitting for 3 years now. I’ve done a wide variety of jobs. I have worked on a long term schedule, stayed overnight, and handled last minute care situations. Every single time I have met both the fur baby and owner with care, compassion, and trust. I have always loved caring for pets and love to tune in with each of their personalities! From hyperactive pups to our elderly babies who just want to watch tv together. It’s amazing to bring out the personality in each one and give them the opportunity to be in charge! If they want to walk, we walk, if they want to play, we play, if they want to chill all day, we chill! I can ensure that while you’re out, your pet will be taken care of and loved so you can remain stress free. I’m currently working part time so I’ll have plenty of time to work with you and your pet. I love getting out of the house and would love to spend the day with your fur buddy! I currently have one large dog and one cat in my home. I plan to only work within the clients home. I believe it’s best to keep pets in their safe space so they can remain stress free while you remain stress free as well. I’m accustomed to house sitting, house care, and staying overnight if needed. I can assure you that I will abide by the campsite rule and always leave things better than how I found them!
“Mariangela was so great with our pups! She kept us up to date with pictures and notes in the app as well as text messages throughout their time with her. She was extra caring towards our very mischievous puppy and handle every thing as we would if we were there. Looking forward to using her again. We came home to happy and cared for dogs-all we could ask for!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Cocoa
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

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
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.
