“Megan was amazing with our pup. We had her stop by our home a few times a day to check on our 8 week old puppy. She was attentive, caring, and went about and behind to make sure our baby was well taken care of. She fed, played with and even bathed him when he had an accident in his crate. We could not be happier with the level of care she provided to Ares. I highly recommend Megan to anyone looking for a dog sitter. Thank you Megan!”
“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!”
“Carissa took such good care of my 2 cats, they were fed and played with, and the litter area kept very clean. I felt like they were in very good hands while I was away. I would definitely hire her again! Thank you Carissa!”
“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.”
“Aspyn was patient with my dog Hildy and let her warm up over a visit or two. After that, she kept Hildy active and engaged and was a great Rover check-in overall. Kept an eye on the automatic food/water just in case, super attentive and great with communication. Definitely highly recommend.”
“Krista was absolutely amazing with our pets!! She took care of my dog and three cats with ease. My Husky, Akira, loved her from the very first moment they met. My cats are usually very shy around new people, but with Krista, they were wandering around confidently and even came up to greet her. My wife and I were honestly amazed! Since, they normally hide from meeting new people. Krista took excellent care of Akira by making sure that she got her walks, and feeding, and cleaning up after. She kept everything tidy and made sure all of our pets felt comfortable and cared for. We felt completely at ease knowing they were in such good hands. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”
“Ashley is awesome! We had something last minute pop up, Ashley was very accommodating with her schedule and was able to fit us in! She’s a great communicator and took great care of our boy. She went above and beyond to care for him and ease our minds with a new routine! We have an older dog and while he has some challenges, Ashley was understanding and patient with both our pup and our long list of special care instructions. We will 10000% be using Ashley again!!”
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!
“Ariana was great! She was very reliable and followed all of my requests. My pets have a pretty tight routine and she was able to keep it perfectly. She was also very in tune with my dog. She could tell that he didn’t want to walk too far from home and let him do his walk where he could still see our house! This is something I knew about him, but totally forgot to mention to her. She just picked right up on it. Will definitely use her again.”
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.
“Jonathan was awesome, the pups were always excited to see him. He was timely each day and had great communication before, during, and after our trip. I highly recommend”
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!
“Christine was awesome. I felt confident that my baby girl was being taken care of. She provided pics everytime she was there and went above and beyond. I definitely recommend and will be a regular customer!!”
“Nicole was a true Godsend, I am currently stuck in New York due to horrible weather and Savannah being shut down. Nicole heard my panicked cries and came to the rescue. Us pet parents panic in ways that may come across cringe but oh well. Book this angel!!!”
About: Grew up with many dogs in a loving home. I miss having dogs around but am not in a place to get my own just yet so I am hoping to offer my love and care to my neighbor’s pets! Work from home all days besides Thursday. Thursday work hours 8am-3pm. Can be flexible. Available for boarding all days. Available for dog walking and check ins in the evening Mon-Thurs and all day Fri-Sun. Prior to care, I will ask the owner for a typical schedule of walking, eating, and anything else I may need to know so the dog feels comfortable and not too much change to their typical schedule occurs. I provide lots of love and attention and play during my care. I have a dog park in my neighborhood and have areas for long walks! I am a very punctual person and respect your time as well as mine to ensure the best experience.
“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!”

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 .
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 Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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.

- 97% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
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.
