“We will always recommend Britney. She is so wonderful and always makes us feel so at ease when we are away from our animals. If you are trying to decide between her and another sitter, choose Britney.”
About: What sets me apart is my hands-on experience with dogs of all sizes and personalities. I have a Great Pyrenees of my own, so I'm comfortable caring for large, powerful breeds that need confidence, patience, and consistency. I also have experience with Pit Bulls and understand that every dog is unique and deserves individualized care based on their personality and needs. Whether your dog is energetic, laid-back, shy, or strong on the leash, I focus on providing safe, dependable, and loving care. I treat every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you're away. Pet care fits perfectly into my schedule because I own and operate my own online businesses, which gives me a very flexible schedule. I can often accommodate walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the day, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends. Because I set my own hours, I'm able to provide reliable care and give pets the time and attention they deserve rather than trying to fit them around a traditional 9-to-5 job. My flexibility also makes it easier to accommodate last-minute bookings whenever possible I understand that every pet has their own routine, and I'm happy to meet whatever your pet's needs are. Whether that means feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, administering medication (if needed), or simply providing companionship, I'll follow your instructions carefully to help keep your pet comfortable and stress-free. I believe consistency is important, so I'll do my best to maintain your pet's normal routine while you're away. I'll also treat your home with the same respect and care that I would my own, and I'm always happy to provide updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away.
“Patricia is very sweet to my boys. She updated me as soon as she arrived to my home and then sent photos of them upon leaving. I will not hesitate using her in the future.”
“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”
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.
“My Yorkie is a rescue and he has stress/anxiety and separation issues. I had him only a few months when I began having Sarilyne coming to my house while I was working. Sarilyne was able to establish trust and security to my dog immediately. She is a very sweet, kind and patient and punctual person who I trust to come into my home to care for dog.”
“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.”
“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.”
“Super nice lady! She sent plent of photos and provided feedback. She was extremely nice even though muly dogs decided to make some messes on almost every visit....she cleaned them up and kept going. This is my second time booking her and has not let us down. I’m sure the pups were happy to see her as well :)”
About: I grew up on 6 acres of land caring for virtually every type of pet you could imagine for the first 15 years of my life. I even started a YouTube channel when I was 13 years old and accumulated 41k followers and over 26 million views, just by sharing my love and compassion for animals! I currently have 3 dogs, 3 cats, a snake, and a bird and would love to help you and your fur babies in your time/s of need. I cannot do overnight housesitting at this time, but I can spend the days at your home if you need :) I currently stay home during the day with my sweet, gentle, animal-loving 1-year-old girl, and only work 3 days a week for a few hours. When I’m not home, my boyfriend is so we have all the time in the world to give your fur babies the time and attention they need and deserve! I am an above-and-beyond type of sitter, not just an ‘only what is in the job description’. I want to give the type of care that I would want my own fur babies to receive!
“Diana is an incredibly kind a warm spirit who took fabulous care of our two dogs. A consummate professional and very respectful. I do not hesitate to recommend her for your needs as well and will undoubtedly look to her again for ours. Thank you again Diana!”
About: I've cared for animals my whole life. I understand every pet has different needs and personalities. I'm patient, dependable, and genuinely love animals, always making sure they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and cared for while you're away. I plan to balance pet care with my part-time job by keeping an organized schedule and only accepting bookings I can fully commit to. I'm reliable with time management and will make sure every pet receives proper attention, care, and consistency. When caring for pets in others' homes, I will follow each pet's normal routine to help them feel comfortable and safe. I'll provide feeding, walks, playtime, affection, and regular updates while also respecting and caring for the owner's home.

About: I’m an experienced pet lover with 4+ years caring for dogs of all sizes, cats, and other animals. I’ve taken care of pets since I was little, and I always treat them like family. I’m reliable, gentle, and committed to keeping your pets happy, safe, and comfortable. Pet care is a natural part of my daily and weekly routine. I make time every day for walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins, and I’m flexible with my schedule so I can adjust to each pet’s needs. Whether it’s early-morning walks, mid-day visits, or evening care, I fit pet care smoothly into my day because it’s something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize. I follow the owner’s instructions carefully to keep the pet’s routine as normal as possible. I handle feeding, walks, litter or potty clean-up, playtime, and any special care the pet needs. I also keep the home tidy, respect their space, and make sure the pet feels safe and cared for while the owner is away.
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 17, whether it was my own or my neighbors’. I absolutely love dog sitting and taking care of them. I enjoy taking them for long walks and spoiling them. I have experience with dogs of all ages, especially senior dogs. I love all breeds, and I even have a 5-month-old beagle myself. So, your fur baby will have a new friend named Gunner. I can lift up to 90 pounds if I need to pick your fur baby up in case of an emergency. I’m currently a stay-at-home dog mom, so your furry companions will receive all the attention, love, cuddles, and walks they need. If you allow me to care for your pets, I will always make them my top priority. I currently reside in a spacious apartment that spans over 1500 square feet. Before opening the door, I always ensure that my dogs are on a leash or harness. I have a spare bedroom equipped with a queen-sized bed, so if your dog enjoys comfort, they’re welcome to lie in it. Additionally, I allow my furry companions to lounge on the couch. If your dog experiences separation anxiety, I recommend bringing a blanket with your scent to help alleviate their anxiety. I’ll also send you pictures of your dog during their stay.

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

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.

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.

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.
